Divine
Sébastien Tellier Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The lyrics to Sébastien Tellier's song "Divine" are somewhat cryptic, leaving the meaning open to interpretation. The repetition of "no no no" and "oh oh oh" give the impression of someone searching for something, and the lyrics seem to touch on themes of loneliness, desire, and a yearning for something beyond oneself. The repeated reference to "Chivers" suggests that this is a group or a place that the singer is drawn to, perhaps as a way of escaping their current situation.
The lyrics suggest that the Chivers are something to aspire to - they "look divine" and "try to find the Milky Way" - and the singer seems to long to be a part of their world. However, there is also a sense of distance between the singer and the Chivers; they are not "a Chivers anyway" and are "alone in life to say" that they love them. This could suggest that the Chivers represent an unattainable ideal, or a lifestyle that is out of reach for the singer.
Overall, the lyrics to "Divine" are enigmatic and intriguing. They convey a sense of longing and desire, but the exact meaning is left up to the listener's interpretation.
