Petite Fable
Olivia Ruiz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

De la belle et la bete je suis les deux
Mon antre est une vaste comédie
Je suis seule malgré l'ombre de vos yeux
Le silence attise ma folie
Cendrillon j'ai rayé ta citrouille
Avec l'aiguille de mon talon dodu
Comment etre vraie quand on me souille
Mon pied nacré a besoin d'etre nu

J'ai donné mon corps au diable
Enfin j'ai sauvé mon âme
Je m'enfuis de la fable
Je ne ressens pas de blâmes
Le vilain meurt , reste le beau
C'est ma vie de château

J'ai fini par tout perdre et tout gagner
Ne me jugez pas apprenez moi

Je suis entière, je suis hantée
Ne me regardez pas , vivez moi
Moi je suis la petite princesse, fière
Sans parures et sans couronnes
J'ai vu le serpent, la faiblesse
C'est toute nue que je me donne

J'ai donné mon corps au diable
Enfin j'ai sauvé mon âme
Je m'enfuis de la fable
Je ne ressens pas de blâmes
Le vilain meurt , reste le beau
C'est ma vie de château

Je me fous de ce que l'on raconte
Ma vie est la si cela vous chante

Je suis sortie grandie de ce conte
Moi je ris, je bondis et je chante

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Petite Fable by Olivia Ruiz describe a complex character that embodies both beauty and beastliness. She lives in a vast comedy, alone despite the shadowy presence of others. This solitude drives her to madness, as she struggles to maintain her authenticity in a world that soils her. She has cast aside the fairy tale of Cinderella, and instead taken control of her own destiny. She has given herself over to the devil, but in doing so, has saved her soul. She has discarded the trappings of royalty and instead embraces her true self, vulnerable and exposed. She is proud of who she is, and sees the value in her experiences, even those that have brought her pain. Ultimately, she exults in her liberation, laughing, leaping, and singing in triumph.

The song is a powerful meditation on identity, freedom, and self-expression. It celebrates the courage it takes to reject societal expectations and challenge convention in order to find one's true self. The imagery used in the lyrics evokes both the grotesque and the beautiful, highlighting the duality of human existence. With its powerful, emotional vocals and stirring instrumentation, Petite Fable is a compelling exploration of the human spirit.
