Lisa
Jeanne Mas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jaloux timide se pose sur elle
statue dentelle sur un ciel mou
poupée humaine qui s'en fout
Lisa s'enfuit de ses rêves
se retrouve et puis s'oublie
de ses lèvres se dégage un sourire
Lisa s'étire et se démêle
glisse dans un mirage textuel
déclaration presque sexuelle
à l'homme que je porte dans mes veines
Je lui dirai des mots sensuels
Passion nouée d'un arc en ciel
Le provoquer par mes erreurs
Le suffoquer de ma douceur
Lisa s'enfuit de ses rêves
se retrouve et puis s'oublie
de ses lèvres se dégage un sourire
Lisa se retrouve si frêle
cache le bonheur dans un cri
le recherche le respire à l'infini houu
L'effleurer du bout de mes doigts
M'empoisonner de son parfum
Et retenir entre mes mains
L'éclat stupide de mon chagrin
Lisa s'enfuit de ses rêves
se retrouve et puis s'oublie
de ses lèvres se dégage un sourire
The song Lisa by Jeanne Mas is a poetic tribute to a woman named Lisa who seems to be lost in her own dreams and thoughts. The lyrics describe her as a delicate and ethereal figure, who is unaware of the world around her, and who seems to be content in her own world. The song starts with the description of a morning, where Lisa wakes up, and a jealous and timid gaze falls upon her. She is compared to a lace statue against a soft sky, and called a human doll who doesn't care about the world. The following verses talk about Lisa's journey within herself, how she escapes into her own dreams, finds herself, and then forgets where she is. She smiles, unaware of her surroundings, and then stretches and unfolds herself to slip into a textual mirage. She confesses her feelings to the man she loves, provokes him with her mistakes, and suffocates him with her sweetness. In the end, Lisa is described as fragile, but she hides her joy in a scream, searching for it and breathing it infinitely.
The song reflects the idea of escapism, where a person loses themselves in their own thoughts and dreams, and how delightful this experience can be for some. Lisa is portrayed as a dreamer who creates her own world full of mirages and illusions. She is compared to a human doll whose existence is of no consequence to the world around her. The lyrics also describe a melancholic love story, where the singer desires the man in her veins, but is also torn by the foolishness of her pain. The words evoke a vivid image of a woman who is lost in her thoughts, yet it is a space where she finds herself, forgets herself, and lives a life that is both her own and one that nobody else can comprehend.
