After reading Edie Sedgwicks article, and after listening to this song while reading the english translation I took on a whole new respect for this song. Anyone can relate to stuggling with ones own dark side. I know I have for one. And this song has made me tear up too and I did not know why. A very deep spiritual look into the soul. But at the same time the lyrics are married to a fairly upbeat melodic song. Brilliant. Alizée probably does relate the maturation process at some level to this song. It may be a childhoods end song. Other artists have written songs titled Childhoods End also in the past. Namely Pink Floyd wrote a song by that title.
