Divine
Sιbastien Tellier Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No no no no no no no
I'm looking for a band today
I see the Chivers anyway
Through my eyes

Oh oh oh
I,… I'm alone in life to say
I love the Chivers anyway
'Cause Chivers look divine
Look away
They try to find the Milky Way
They love to drink it every day

No no no no no no no
You,… you and I, it's like you said
I'm not a Chivers anyway
You look fine

Oh oh oh
I,… I'm alone in life to say
I love the Chivers anyway
'Cause Chivers look divine
Look away
They try to find the Milky Way

I'm…, I'm alone in life to say
I love the Chivers anyway
In your eyes

Oh oh oh
I'm looking for a band today
I see the Chivers anyway




I'll be a Chivers guy some day
In my mind

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sebastien Tellier's song Divine convey a sense of longing and admiration for a group of people called the Chivers. The singer repeats "no no no" in the beginning, which can be interpreted as him denying the fact that he is searching for a group to belong to, but eventually he admits that he is "looking for a band today." He sees the Chivers regardless, and he values them for their appearance, as well as their love for the Milky Way. The repeated lines "I'm alone in life to say I love the Chivers anyway" emphasize the singer's isolation and desire to be part of a group.


The chorus of the song contains the line "Chivers look divine," which suggests that the singer sees the Chivers as being godlike or perfect in some way. However, he also seems to acknowledge that he will never be like them when he says, "I'm not a Chivers anyway, you look fine." The final verse reiterates the singer's desire to be associated with the Chivers, as he declares that he will be a "Chivers guy some day."


Overall, the lyrics to Divine convey a sense of longing for acceptance and belonging, as well as an admiration for a group of people who are seemingly perfect in the singer's eyes.
