Yelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Je te vois en bas, somnoler
Accroche-toi à moi, c'est fêlé
Ce qu'on voit de là, je te promets
Les animaux dansent dans le Safari Disco Club
Les animaux dansent dans le Safari Disco Club
Les animaux dansent dans le Safari Disco Club
Je veux goûter à tout je veux goûter
Connaître le goût du péché
Croquer dans ta pomme empoisonnée
Je tombe dans les pommes à l'hélium
Ça y est
Les animaux dansent dans le Safari Disco Club
Les animaux dansent dans le Safari Disco Club
Les animaux dansent dans le Safari Disco Club
Les animaux dansent dans le Safari Disco Club
The lyrics of Yelle's song Safari Disco Club describe a journey into a wild and dreamlike world, where the singer of the song is flying away from the mundane world below. She invites someone to hold on to her, even though things in this new world may be a little bit cracked or crazy. The promise she makes is that from this high vantage point, they will be able to see things in a completely new way.
The chorus of the song repeats the same phrases, that the animals are dancing in the Safari Disco Club. This repetition creates a hypnotic effect, emphasizing the surreal and otherworldly atmosphere of the song. The idea that animals are dancing in a club is a metaphorical and playful way of expressing the idea that anything can happen in this world, and that the normal rules of reality don't apply.
The next verse of the song describes a desire to experience everything and to taste the forbidden fruit. The use of the metaphor of biting into a poisoned apple (a reference to the story of Snow White) indicates a willingness to take risks and to embrace the unknown. The final line of the verse, where the singer falls into the helium-induced sleep, adds to the overall sense of disorientation and whimsy.

Peux-tu me voir m'envoler
Can you see me fly away?
Je te vois en bas, somnoler
I see you down there, dozing off
Accroche-toi à moi, c'est fêlé
Hold on to me, it's crazy
Ce qu'on voit de là, je te promets
I promise you, what we see from up here

Connaître le goût du péché
To know the taste of sin
Croquer dans ta pomme empoisonnée
To bite into your poisoned apple
Je tombe dans les pommes à l'hélium
