"Such a shame to believe in escape
A life on every face
And that's a change, till I'm finally left with an eight
Tell me to react, I just stare
Maybe I don't know if I should change
A feeling that we share...
It's a shame
(Such a shame)
Number me with rage, it's a shame
(Such a shame)
Number me in haste, it's a shame
This eagerness to change
It's a shame..."

This has been discussed elsewhere. It's a portmanteau of two French words, "psychédélique" and "délices," meaning "psychedelic" and "pleasures" respectively. So basically, the album name means either psychedelic pleasures, or pleasures of the mind.

it means she's moved on from sweets to drugs. which means she's an adult now.

out with gourmandises, in with psyche-delicacies.

He might just be waiting for the official return to happen before he updates it. He has already updated the link to the official site, so thanks Brad

Stupid question and probably not appropriate but, sweets to drugs? Is it saying she does drugs or just maturity kicking in?

Doesn't have to mean drugs. Psychédélique has exactly the same two meanings as the English psychedelic, i.e. it can be a noun meaning an LSD-like drug, or it can be an adjective meaning mind-expanding. Also, psychédélices could be a compound of psyché and délices, and not include psychédélique at all! (Although the suggestion of it is there even so.)

So we have a whole complex of associations:

Mind-expansion
Mystical enlightenment
Mental pleasure
Spiritual pleasure
Psychedelic drugs

Thumbs up

I'll take that album as real or fake. Excitement is reaching an all time high for me. Never got so impatient for any other artist before Alizee.

Well, that's gonna throw cup of gasoline on whether the previously "revealed" "cover art" is genuine debate.
