Tellier's first album, L'incroyable Vérité (The Incredible Truth), was released in 2001. Tellier went on tour with Air in support of the album. The track " Fantino" off the album was chosen by Sofia Coppola for the soundtrack to her 2003 film "Lost in Translation". Tellier followed L'incroyable Vérité with his second studio album Politics (2005). A particularly popular song from Politics was "La Ritournelle", a string-led tune, which featured Nigerian drummer, Tony Allen of Fela Kuti fame. "La Ritournelle" was remixed by various artists, notably in Britain by Metronomy.
Since the release of Politics, Tellier has also recorded an acoustic album of his more popular songs, Sessions (2006). The album was repackaged for the British market as Universe (2006), to include both highlights from the French CD, as well as compositions from Tellier's score for the film Narco.
His third studio album Sexuality was produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo of Daft Punk. Like his previous album Politics, Tellier used a single term as title and theme of the album.
On 7 March 2008, it was announced by Bruno Berberes, head of EBU delegation in France, that Tellier would represent France in the Eurovision Song Contest 2008. It was held in Belgrade on 24 May 2008. Tellier sang "Divine". This was the first time in the history of the contest that the nominated French entry was to be performed largely in English, which caused controversy, leading to Tellier pledging to increase the amount of French in the song prior to the competition itself.
The colour of your mind
Sébastien Tellier Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
OO OO OO OO OO OO, I bless you
I'm loving you
Punish you
OO OO OO OO OO OO Lovin' blue
OO OO I steal you
OO OO OO OO OO OO I bless you
Repent you
OO OO OO OO OO OO Lovin' blue
Lovin' Blue
Mass for you
And the tanks fly
So So So high
Lovin' blue
Fall in too OO
A mass for you
And the tanks fly
So So So high
He said come into
Love prophetic blue
The color of your mind
Come stand up and feel fine
The lyrics in Sébastien Tellier's song, The colour of your mind, are cryptic and require careful examination to fully understand their meaning. The opening lines of the song, "OO OO I love you / OO OO OO OO OO OO, I bless you," suggest that the singer is expressing his love and admiration for someone. However, the next line, "I'm loving you / Punish you / OO OO OO OO OO OO Lovin' blue," introduces a darker tone to the lyrics, hinting that the singer's love for this person is masochistic in nature. The repeated refrain "Lovin' blue" suggests that the color blue is symbolically important in some way.
The second verse, "OO OO I steal you / OO OO OO OO OO OO I bless you / I'm loving you OO / Repent you / OO OO OO OO OO OO Lovin' blue," continues with the themes of love and punishment, with the singer now admitting to stealing this person away. The final lines of the song, "He said come into / Love prophetic blue / The color of your mind / Come stand up and feel fine," suggest that the singer is receiving some kind of spiritual guidance or revelation, and that the color blue is associated with these mystical experiences.
Overall, The colour of your mind is a complex and enigmatic song, with lyrics that hint at themes of love, devotion, and spiritual awakening, but also contain darker undertones of control and punishment.
