Mescaline
L (Raphaële Lannadère) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ta muse sm,
Ta mescaline,
Ton obsession.
Je voudrais être
Ta seule bohème,
Tes fleurs, ton spleen,
Ou ton poison.
Et souveraine,
Sans un bijou,
Sans accessoire,
Au mieux, peut-être,
Mais mis en scène,
Quelques dessous
De dentelle noire.
J'suis rien qu'une amoureuse,
Au coeur étrange et blême.
J'suis rien qu'emmerdeuse,
C’est rien, je t'aime.
Jouer les songes
D'une nuit d'été,
Et ses violons,
A l'heure d'hiver,
Comme un mensonge
Maquillé,
Pour le pardon,
Ou la prière.
Dans un sanglot,
Se fabriquer
Juste ce qu'il faut
De mystère.
Ombre, ricil,
Rouge mouillé,
Violet mélo,
Sourire amer.
In "Mescaline," L (Raphaële Lannadère) expresses a desire to be all-consuming - to be her lover's muse, his mescaline, his obsession. She also wants to be his only Bohemian, his flowers, his spleen, or even his poison. The desire to be everything to her lover is palpable in her lyrics. She talks about wanting to stay silent but sovereign, without any accessory or jewelry, and at best, a few black lace undergarments. She also wants to play the dreams of a summer night and its violins, even in winter, dressed up like a lie for pardon or prayer. With a sob, she fabricates just enough mystery with shadows, mascara, purple melodies, and a bitter smile.
