Psychédélices - pretty obvious

[dreamer]

I just listened to to her song "Psychédélices" closely for the first time and translated the lyrics for myself. I think it's very likely that she has experimented with magic mushrooms or even LSD (or maybe Jeremy wrote the lyrics to that song? The lyrics speak for themselves. Why else would she want to have a song like that on the album?


D'où est d'où vient l'homme
C'est la question qui nous taraude
D'où est d'où est l'âme
Qui donc a inventé le code

Avant toi tant d'autres ont cherché
A le toucher le ciel
Même artificiel

Doué pour voler
L'oiseau existe ta jalousie
Ferme les volets
Tu pourrais te prendre pour lui

Acide est la vie qui t'entoure
Autour de moi l'amour
A si peur du vide

Psychédélices
L'hélice s'éclipse
Tu bois le calice
Jusqu'à l'hallali

Psychédélices
Il n'y a qu'Alice
Pour croire aux merveilles
Apres le réveil
D'où est d'où vient l'homme
Petit marcheur dans le réel
D'où sont ses atomes
De quelle étoile de quelle étincelle

Tu crois que ton corps a des ailes
Que l'ange Gabriel
Est là pour l'annonce

Doux est le satin
Quand la nuit noire s'habille de white
Ta lampe d'Aladin
Soudain brille de cinq cent mille watts

Acide est le temps qui s'en va
Vacille autour de toi
Tu n'en reviens pas

Psychédélices
Délisoleil
Tu bois le calice
Jusqu'à l'hallali

Psychédélices
Il n'y a qu'Alice
Pour croire aux merveilles
Apres le réveil


There are so many references to psychedelic drugs/experiences in this text. It can't be a coincidence.

Alizée is certainly ready for it, according to Leary:

"Acid is not for every brain - only the healthy, happy, wholesome, handsome, hopeful, humorous, high-velocity should seek these experiences. This elitism is totally self-determined. Unless you are self-confident, self-directed, self-selected, please abstain."

[Roman]

Jean Fauque wrote the lyrics.

Fauque is on shrooms O_O

dreamer, I don't think Lili would do hardcore drugs like shrooms or LSD, if ANYTHING, the limit would have to be something minor like smoking (nicotine), but I just refuse to believe she'd consume anything that could harm her body, save the occasional alcoholic beverage

[dreamer]

Didn't she say that "Psychédélices" was her favorite song on the new album? Now why could that be? And why are you so sure that she wouldn't try it?
BTW: Shrooms and LSD don't harm your body, alcohol and nicotine are much more dangerous in that respect.

Acid can screw you up man. My friend's friend and some bad acid and now she thinks she is a glass of orange juice and you cant touch her because shes afraid she will spill.

rofl, no disrespect to your friend or your feelings, but that sentence just made my day, especially when i imagine it. The only thing i know that can cure such a serious illness is probably pouring cold hard fact into her brain. no pun intended. Push her over and tell her shes not OJ. Of course that might result in her thinking she's dead.....Oh well, she can't be in a worse shape then she is now, can she?

Uh...I'm pretty sure she's on record as saying that "L'Effet" is her favorite song on Psychédélices, actually. 'Love of daughter' tends to trump 'love of shrooms'...

Can I ask what's with the sudden upsurge of curiousity over Lili's experimentation with controlled substances, or lack thereof, lately? Did she, like, do a cover of 'Mister Tamborine Man' or something that I'm not aware of? Or are we just this bored?

The latter, most assuredly . These random ponderings should curtail as the concerts steadily approach. Wasn't Lili supposed to perform on Star Academy in September, or has that been cancelled?
