Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jeanne Added's song Lydia are an exploration of the complexities of love and relationships, particularly the way in which we give and receive from our partners. The repeated use of "I" and "You" phrases suggest that the singer is addressing someone directly, and the opening lines - "I please myself, I please you; I find myself, I find you" - suggest a sense of equality and mutual satisfaction. As the song progresses, however, it becomes clear that the relationship is far from perfect. The lines "I fool myself, I fool you; I break myself, I break you" suggest the presence of deception and conflict, while the repeated phrase "my little" suggests a possessive, almost sinister quality to the relationship.

Despite the darker undertones of the song, there is also a sense of surrender and acceptance in the repeated refrain of "I love you." The singer acknowledges the ways in which they give themselves to their partner - both the positive and negative aspects - and ultimately submits to the overwhelming power of love, with the repeated line "you're killing me, Lydia; you're peeling off my skin" suggesting both the pain and pleasure of being drawn into such intense emotions.

Overall, the lyrics to Lydia are a raw and honest exploration of the complexities of human relationships, and the ways in which we navigate the push and pull of love and connection.

wao, un peu absent, je viens de découvrir sur france inter le travail fait, j'ai tout écouté 2 fois pour être sur. Tout est excellent de chez excellent. Je suis impressionné. Le chant, les paroles, la prod, les sons, la cohérence... Alors que je ne connais pas les morceaux, je suis en train de les chanter à donf chez moi, des paroles que je ne connais pas encore et d’improviser avec des contrechants etc... Croyez moi, c'est pas tout les jours (pour info, je suis orga/prog/com depuis 25 piges en rap/jazz/metal/punk/tek/dnb etc. /chanteur lyrique et toutes variétés et dj dark et alternatif et ex-clubeur des 90's, bref, on se connait pas mais je suis du genre à pas valider à la légère et à grave chipoter...) Passez le message et soutenez là, c'est une merveille.
