{Oxmo}:
A-li-zee
Who is getting real1
Lift-off
{Alizée}:
Melancholy in the collimator
Even in my bed, without a computer
Dreaming of a spiral staircase
Spiral snail, spiral
Pack your bags for the invitation
Choose the jersey based on inspiration
I leave in a breath and it's the detonation
Detonation, a detonation
You hear it when your man is bad
A kiss and I take off
This is the phenomenal vein
Destination, a destination
To retire for a trip
Living in capital letters
Take off in a shell2
Escape
It's an escape
{Chorus}:
Fall back for a takeoff, no altitude3
I escape in my shell, for certainty4
Without going back to my starting points
Seeking a star for a date
Make a stopover in my constellation
At ease in my bubble shell
Sadness has no place
This air sickness is tireless
Be careful, pay attention
Reloaded when I get out of there
At his side, I feel there
His eyes give me some
Palpitation, palpitations
Come and kiss me in your petals
My mother-of-pearl skin and your golden pearl
I go in when the angels sleep
Situation is the situation
{Chorus}
When my shell is in the hollow of the wave
You can only cry one milligram
Tinkerbell is my only co-pilot
It's from my bubble that we go to action
Inside I am the antidote
Everything will unfold as we had
Planned. Plane ? But it's not an airplane
Like a plane but the wings of a bird
Takeoff, no altitude
I escape in my shell, for certainty
{Chorus}
{Oxmo}:
No landing even if you're wise ... Beach5
1. It seems there is not particular meaning to this sentence. It merely is a way to introduce her.2. The shell was chosen because "coquillage" rhyme with "décollage", because a shell makes you think of holydays, and because a shell has a spiral making your head spin.3. This is a lift-off in her bed, not in an airplane, so there is no altitude.4. It is not clear why she talks about "certitude". Maybe, it is again for the rhyme, with "altitude".5. She wants to take off all the time, and even for a strong young man, that may not be easy to be her partner.
