Paralleles De Montsegur
Esperit
Roi De Fous
Ma couronne est posée sur la tête
Qui voit toujours au fond des personnages hideux
Qui disent oui, qui disent non
Où en est la raison?
Mon plaisir est d'être dans mon lit
Où des lanières de cuir m'entravent les poignets
A l'abris des délires
Des dangers du monde

Je suis un Roi de fous
Et mon royaume est construit de blanc
Blancs, mes serviteurs et mes sujets
Sont tous à mes pieds

Mon Empire est cerné de barreaux
Ainsi mes gens dociles ne peuvent en sortir
Pour guérir leur folie
Pour qu'ils restent avec moi

Je suis un Roi de fous
Et mon royaume est construit de blanc
Blancs, mes serviteurs et mes sujets
Sont tous à mes pieds

Mon père aussi était Roi de fous!
Grand-père aussi, Roi de fous!




Certains disent qu'eux-mêmes étaient tous fous
Ils disent aussi que je suis fou, si fou!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Etienne de Crecy's "Prix Choc" describe the mindset of a mad king. The first verse mentions "Personnages hideux," or hideous characters that say yes or no, pointing towards a lack of reason and intellect in those around the king. He claims that his pleasure is being in his bed, where leather straps bind his wrists and he is safe from the "delirium" and "dangers of the world." The chorus describes him as a "Roi de fous," or a mad king, whose empire is surrounded by bars, where his obedient subjects are trapped with him, unable to attain sanity.


The second verse again reiterates the king's pleasure in being confined and his belief that his kingdom is built on white, which symbolizes his madness. He speaks of his empire being surrounded by bars, which suggests that he is aware of his craziness and wants to control it by trapping himself and his subjects. The final lines mention his father and grandfather were also mad kings, and he himself is viewed as insane, a suggestion that perhaps his madness is inherited.
