The lyrics of Julien Doré's song "First Lady" convey the story of a woman who is trapped in her luxurious palace and yearns to escape. She reflects on her past experiences with a mysterious man, referred to as Milord, who had once captivated her. In the refrain, the first lady expresses her desire to break free from her current situation, pleading for someone to help her escape. She reminisces about a summer evening when Milord proposed to her on the shores of Long Island. They lived a bohemian lifestyle, enjoying golf and American nights with the taste of Mojitos. However, as time passed, the relationship began to deteriorate. The first lady wonders what has become of their passionate and wild nights, where Milord, in a harsh manner, told her that she was merely his concubine. In the second verse, she recalls their first secret meeting in a shady hotel in the lower-class neighborhood of St-Cloud. Filled with anticipation and fear, she awaited his arrival in a dimly lit and illicit room. The first lady reflects on the power and strength she admired in her American lover. She compares him to a wild stallion in her garden, fulfilling her desires. The physical and emotional scars left by their intense encounters are the only reminders she has of him. Ultimately, the first lady pleads for someone, perhaps Milord himself, to help her escape her gilded cage, expressing her desperation to break free from her suffocating existence. The song portrays a sense of longing, regret, and the desire for freedom from a relationship that has taken its toll on the first lady.
