A Côté
Mademoiselle K Lyrics

In Mademoiselle K's song "A Côté," the singer expresses her frustration with always being "à côté," or on the side, of things, whether it be missing appointments or simply not being in the right place at the right time. She rushes to her appointments but time still passes her by. The energetic "WA!" that interjects the lyrics is almost a cry of frustration. The singer feels that she is always a step behind and never on top of things. She uses the metaphor of boiling an egg to describe her impatience and the feeling that she could easily mess something up. In the end, she dismisses her frustration, ending with the dismissive "bla bla bla."

The song expresses the common feeling of expecting too much from oneself and feeling like a failure because of it. The metaphor of an egg boiling is a playful way to convey impatience and the fear of messing up. The song also emphasizes how quickly time passes and how important it is to make the most of it. All of these feelings are conveyed in overlapping lyrics and the energetic "WA!" interjections, creating a sense of urgency and frustration.
