Séquences
L'Impératrice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Séquences)
Plan serré je danse
Deux mille regards, quelques acteurs
(En transe)
J'attends l'aurore pendant des heures
Solo sur les planches
Une ombre s'élance
Travelling avant, prochaine étape
(Silence)
Mes vêtements glissent au son du clip
Étendue sur les draps, belle comme au cinéma
Et je suis comme Emmanuelle, héroïne en panorama
Romance aléatoire
Un scénario sans histoire
Mon corps en plan séquence
S'évapore sur l'écran noir
The lyrics of L'Imperatrice's song Sequences describe the feeling of being on stage and performing, as if in a movie or on a set. The first line "Sous les projecteurs" (Under the spotlights) sets the scene for a performance, and the following lines "Plan serré je danse/Deux mille regards, quelques acteurs" (Close-up I dance/Two thousand looks, some actors) suggest that the performer is in the midst of a scene, with many eyes on them. The line "J'attends l'aurore pendant des heures" (I wait for dawn for hours) adds a touch of patience and anticipation to the scene, as if the performer is waiting for the moment to shine.
The second verse describes the feeling of being solo on stage, with the line "Solo sur les planches" (Solo on the boards). The line "Mes vêtements glissent au son du clip" (My clothes slide to the sound of the clip) suggests that the performer is moving with the music or a pre-recorded video. The chorus "Étendue sur les draps, belle comme au cinéma/Et je suis comme Emmanuelle, héroïne en panorama" (Spread out on the sheets, beautiful like in the movies/And I'm like Emmanuelle, heroine in panorama) seems to describe a character caught up in a fantasy world, almost living in the movie itself.
Overall, the lyrics of Sequences speak to the idea of performing and living in a fictional world, as if on a movie set. The song captures the thrill and anticipation of being in the spotlight and the feeling of being a part of a larger production.
