Inverse moi
Eiffel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Glisser le long d' un garçon
Il disait : please, inverse-moi
Renverse moi
Please, inverse moi
Embellis la mise
Trésor, je suis prisonnier du sort
Mort
Inverse le cours du temps
Inverse le pour que nous restions beaux amants
Please, please, please, inverse moi please
Hey! Rien de plus doux qu' une plage
L' amour en guise de gage
Moi je dis please, inverse moi
Transperce moi
Please, inverse moi
Perverse Marquise
Tresor je suis prisonnier du sort ...
Je reste en vie ou alors
Mort
Inverse le cours du temps
Inverse le pour que nous restions beaux amants
Please, please, please inverse moi please
Please, inverse moi
Traverse moi
Please, inverse moi
Fais moi la surprise
Trésor, je suis prisonnier du sort
Rester en vie ou alors
Mort
Inverse le cours du temps
Inverse le pour que nous restions beaux amants
Please, please, please, inverse moi please
The lyrics of 'Inverse moi' by Eiffel depict a person longing to revive a fading relationship. The first verse introduces the singer who sees their lover under a balcony, flirting with another person who asks to be turned over or reversed. The singer then pleads with their lover to "inverse" them and make them more attractive. The chorus repeats the sentiment of being a prisoner of fate and begs for time to be reversed to keep them as beautiful lovers.
The second verse continues this theme by describing the sweetness of love on a beach and again, the singer begs to be inverted and pierced by their lover who is referred to as a "Perverse Marquise". The final chorus is a repetition of the lyrics of the previous ones while expressing a wish to be surprised by their lover's sudden turn of affection.
The song uses metaphors and personification to describe a relationship that is deteriorating and in need of a revamp. The phrase "inverse-moi" can be interpreted as a wish to be made new and better through the actions of a lover. The chorus is a plea to fate to turn back time and undo any wrongs, and the phrase "Trésor, je suis prisonnier du sort" ("Treasure, I am a prisoner of fate") is the singer acknowledging the power of fate or destiny in their life.
