The original lineup consisted of Katty Besnard, Marine Neuilly and Zazie Tavitian who met each other in Mansart High School where they bonded over their love of rock 'n' roll music. At the end of 2003, they met Louise Basilien at a The Libertines gig, and she became their fourth girl, the bassist. Listening to The Beatles, they took their name "Plastiscines" from a lyric in the song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

After the release of their first album LP1 Zazie left the band because she felt like she was not a strong enough drummer. Caroline was hired as a replacement for the tour, but was not an official member of the band. During the recording of their sophomore album, About Love, Anaïs Vandevyvere joined the band as the newest drummer. They were signed to Nylon Records.

In February 2011, Marine left the band. Katty, Louise and Ana continue as a three piece band. They released their third album Back To The Start in 2014.

In February 2016, Katty and Ana released the first single of their more alternative rock side-project Arizona Twins.

La Règle Du Jeu
Plastiscines Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Je t'ai montré comment tu devais jouer
Et je ferais en sorte que tu ne triche pas!
Devant tes yeux, tous les dés sont lancés
Je joue, joue, joue avec toi!

1, 2, 3, 4!

Refrain:

Tu avais dit que tu accepterais,
La Règle Du Jeu! La Règle Du Jeu!
Maintenant je me retrouve seule dans ce
Jeu dangereux! Jeu dangereux!
Tu avais dit que tu accepterais...
La Règle Du Jeu! La Règle Du Jeu!
Maintenant je me retrouve seule dans ce
Jeu dangereux! Jeu dangereux!

Nous étions d'accord,
Le jeu était codé...
Je jouait le fou et tu était mon roi!
J'ai perdu ma vie sur le talier...
Tu joue, joue, joue contre moi!

1, 2, 3, 4!

Refrain:
Tu avais dit que tu accepterais,
La Règle Du Jeu! La Règle Du Jeu!
Maintenant je me retrouve seule dans ce
Jeu dangereux! Jeu dangereux!
Tu avais dit que tu accepterais...
La Règle Du Jeu! La Règle Du Jeu!
Maintenant je me retrouve seule dans ce
Jeu dangereux! Jeu dangereux!

Au départ, moi je n'attend que toi...
Tu grimpe à l'échelle pour attrapper l'oie!
Je ne suis peut-être pas celle que tu crois...
Je perd, perd, perd contre toi!

1, 2, 3, 4!

Refrain:
Tu avais dit que tu accepterais,
La Règle Du Jeu! La Règle Du Jeu!
Maintenant je me retrouve seule dans ce
Jeu dangereux! Jeu dangereux!
Tu avais dit que tu accepterais...
La Règle Du Jeu! La Règle Du Jeu!
Maintenant je me retrouve seule dans ce
Jeu dangereux! Jeu dangereux!

Règle du jeu! Jeu dangereux!
Règle du jeu! Jeu dangereux!
Règle du jeu! Jeu dangereux!

Règle du jeu! Jeu dangereux!
Règle du jeu! Jeu dangereux!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Plastiscines's song "La Règle Du Jeu" (The rules of the game) can be interpreted as an analogy for relationships, where one person is teaching the other how to play the game of love by setting the ground rules, but the other person ends up breaking them and playing unfairly. The singer is warning her partner not to cheat, as all the dice are already rolled, and she is playing along with them in the game of love. However, despite their initial agreement, the partner ends up playing against her and causing her to lose everything. The singer is left alone in this dangerous game, wondering where they went wrong.

The repeated refrain of "Tu avais dit que tu accepterais, La Règle Du Jeu!" (You said you accepted the rules of the game!) highlights the broken trust and the feeling of betrayal that the singer is experiencing. The imagery of playing cards, with references to the king and the fool, reinforce the idea of a power dynamic in the relationship, where one person is trying to control the game and the other is trying to trick their way out of it.

Overall, the lyrics to "La Règle Du Jeu" offer a poignant message about the fragility of trust in relationships, and how love can sometimes be a dangerous game.
