The electricity is just a cover up for all that. The electricity does not relate to the love story any way. The real story is just written with alternative words. With words of electricity.
I disagree. It is a song about two lovers (whether they're real people or not I don't know), but the electricity theme isn't just alternate words. It's a reference to something impacting on love: invisible currents of energy, connecting two people who are separated in space and time (note the recurrent mention of both of those, space and time), overcoming that separation, joining like an electromagnet, which pulls even at what it isn't touching. Also the danger of personal erasement in such a powerful love (electrocution), with passion being the only protection.

It's a powerful theme. Although I could be mistaken, I would expect that it was Alizée herself who most likely proposed the theme, although it was of course Mylene who wrote the actual lyrics. I understand that the two of them worked together like that.
