Intro
Shan'l Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mais fait attention, quand on y entre on y reste souvent Camisolé.
Au faite je ne me suis pas présentée: Shan′l Is My Name.
Ici je parle de moi, c'est vrai
Je chante comme j′ai mal, comme Je Me Bats Pour Réussir.
Tu sais, des amours frappent à ma
Porte, ils avancent À La Queue Leu Leu.
Mais parfois je me demande Où Est Le Gars qui va me faire vibrer.
Pardon si je te choque, il m'arrive de parler Comme Un Homme.
Et d'oublier que dans votre monde ce amour là, c′est un Amour Interdit
Je parle aussi de toi Maria,
J′espère que tu te reconnaîtras, c'est mon premier album.
Tu l′attendais et moi je t'attendais
Avant de l′écouter you Better Think, car je suis assez speciale.
Tu Vas Te Waze, tu vas découvrir Qui Est La Fille Dans Mon
Miroir et après ça je te laisse choisir qui est la Number One...
The lyrics of Shan'l's song Intro deal with the artist's personal journey and experiences, inviting the listener to join her on a voyage to the center of her universe. The opening line, "Je te propose un voyage, voyage au centre de mon univers" ("I propose a journey, journey to the center of my universe"), is an invitation to the listener to come along on this introspective journey. However, Shan'l warns that this journey may lead to becoming institutionalized, or "camisolé."
Shan'l then introduces herself, stating "Shan'l is my name" and admits that she's singing about herself. She sings of her struggles, stating that she sings like she's in pain and that she fights to succeed, all while being pursued by suitors ("des amours frappent à ma porte"). She wonders where the man is who will make her vibrate, but also admits to feeling empty without sex. Shan'l acknowledges that sometimes she speaks like a man and forgets that love in your world is forbidden. She even mentions another woman named Maria who inspired her to create her first album.
Overall, the song speaks to the personal experiences of Shan'l, while also touching on themes of love, sex, and gender. It's an invitation for the listener to get to know her and her music on a deeper level.
