Elisa does not bother with superfluous questions; she advances and finds her style without setting any limits. The folk, pop, soul and even hip hop jostle.
2 years ago, she began posting her songs on myspace. Within months, more than 700,000 Internet users discovered them! Short after, she found herself playing these live, and supporting artists like Heart of Pirate, Yael Naim, Zaz, June & Lula, Ron Sexmith, Alela Diane ...).
Fellow French producer and musician Benjamin Biolay (Stephan Eicher, Keren Ann, Juliette Greco, Carla Bruni, etc...) heard her demos by coincidence and was immediately engrossed by her voice and personality. Elisa and Benjamin entered the studio and emerged a few days later with the debut EP "Back Around". With a handshake, Benjamin also promised to produce her first album.
Defeated
Elisa JO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
it'll end in suicide
washed my hands and cried
Focussing on the pain
Running through my veins
it will never end
I let go of them
You lips, I let go of your kiss
You say finally that you may need me
It's not the way I wanted
the more I see you the more I'm defeated.
You're here and i'm tired
cause i thought it died
this feeling inside
You shot me in the brain
then make my heart beat again
it drives me insane
Think that i'm still in love with you
and now i don't know what to do
Your eyes your hands
I let go of them
You lips, I let go of your kiss
You say finally that you may need me
It's not the way I wanted
the more I see you the more I'm defeated.
