Sanguine
Eiffel Lyrics

The lyrics to Eiffel's "Sanguine" convey a sense of passion and risk-taking in a romantic relationship. The singer is pleading for their partner to take their hand and lead them into their "trampolining" neighborhood, where they can escape societal norms and engage in more adventurous behavior. The use of the phrase "lèvres de sauvetage" (rescue lips) suggests that the singer feels liberated and saved by their partner's love. The reference to "coquelicots" (poppies) adds to the romantic imagery, as they are often associated with passion and remembrance.

The second verse asks for the partner's commitment, and suggests that they are willing to take risks to be together. The line "On s'achètera des vagues / Virtuelles s'il le faut" (We will buy virtual waves if we have to) symbolizes their willingness to do whatever it takes to keep the relationship alive. The chorus repeats the word "Sanguine," which can be interpreted as a desire for a deep, passionate connection with their partner, and the hope that it will last beyond their mortal existence.

The final verse advises the listener to "va t'en buter l'amour / Celui qui crie 'pour toujours'" (Go kill love that screams 'forever' on a whim). This line can be seen as a call to reject the societal pressure to conform to traditional ideas of love and commitment, and instead embrace the unpredictable nature of relationships. The song ends with the repeated phrase "Tu t'arranges sanguine," suggesting that the singer and their partner will find a way to make their passionate love work, even in the face of adversity.
