Toi Mon Toit
Elli Medeiros Lyrics

In "Toi mon toit," Elli Medeiros sings about the importance of finding a sense of home and belonging in a romantic partner. The repetition of "Toi, toi mon toit, toi, toi mon tout mon roi" ("You, you my roof, you, you my everything my king") emphasizes the significance of this connection to the point where the lover is the very foundation upon which the singer builds her life. However, Medeiros builds the song on playful imagery, suggesting that intimacy can be found in the small, strange moments between two people: the act of sliding a small fish between her legs is cheeky and playful, while the idea of "loving backwards" indicates a willingness to defy convention and embrace unconventional connections.

The second verse extends the use of playful imagery to suggest that everything has its rightful place, but perhaps the lovers can be an exception. As mentioned, there are butterflies in the air and ants on the ground, each in their proper place, except for the singers who challenge convention and create their own. The song's philosophy is to embrace a fearless and unconventional approach to love, one in which traditional boundaries and norms are rejected in favor of intimacy above all. Repeating the opening and closing verses serves to emphasize the centrality and significance of the love and relationships in the life of the singer.
