Addicte Aux Héroines
Patricia Kaas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
J'avoue je suis accro
À la libre Coco
Aux paradis sensuels
De Gabrielle Chanel
J'aime à m'envoyer en l'air
À bord de l'Electra d'Amelia
Oui, j'aime me perdre, me noyer
Dans les fleuves de sexe
La crue des mots d'Anaïs Nin
Écrivain de l'intime et libertine
Sur mes écrans, Garbo envoûtante
Divine défiant le temps
J'adore Marlène, éblouissante guerrière
Mon fétiche en guêpière
Oui, je l'avoue, ces héroïnes sont mon opium
Mes femmes en majuscules
Je succombe aux coups de pinceau
Érotique avant-garde
De Tamara de Lempicka
J'aime à m'injecter le sensuel poison de Suzy Solidor
Alors je danse, je m'étourdis
Je mets mes pas dans ceux de Martha Graham
Chorégraphe du désir
Ces héroïnes sont mon opium
Vous, mes envolées, disparues
Recluses avenue Montaigne et délaissées
Vous, mes héroïnes aux vies consumées
Dévorées de passion
Je vous révèle mon addiction
À vous.
The lyrics of "Addicte Aux Héroines" by Patricia Kaas reveal a deep addiction to heroines, including both real and fictional legendary women who have inspired her. She confesses that her obsession has taken over her life, leading her to immerse herself in the world of fashion, art, literature, and sensuality, all represented by her heroines. Chanel's Coco, the sensual paradise of Gabrielle Chanel, Amelia Earhart's Electra, Garbo's captivating image, Marlène's dazzling fight, Anaïs Nin's intimate writing and libertine lifestyle, and Tamara de Lempicka's erotic and avant-garde paintings are among the heroines that she cites in her anthem.
She reveals that she longs to get lost in the rivers of sex, desire, and passion that these women represent, both in real life and in her own imagination. Martha Graham's choreography of desire, too, provides a source of inspiration to her. Although this addiction to heroines seems to be a dark obsession, she reveals how it's actually a driving force behind her artistry, as these women become muses for her, filling her with passion, beauty, and creativity.
