Lyrics: I wipe away the tears from all your depths From wire to cellar without opinion I am the lily that you export In extremis from door to door In the twists and turns that you borrow from me I trace with a wide stroke of absinthe That rises up my nose Upstream of cetaceans I paint Cézanne's blue tongue Brandished in red peony Asking me for everything backwards And I suspect that you get lost in it. Julien Doré's song "Piano Lys" combines poetic and abstract imagery to convey a sense of introspection and confusion. The lyrics seem to describe the protagonist's emotional journey as they navigate through various experiences and emotions. The phrase "J'essuie les larmes de tous tes fonds" can be interpreted as the singer wiping away the pain or tears from someone's depths, metaphorically representing their emotional struggles. The line "De fil en cave sans opinion" suggests a sense of exploration and introspection without any fixed opinions or judgments. The line "Je suis le lys que tu exportes" metaphorically portrays the protagonist as a lily being exported, possibly symbolizing their vulnerability or fragility in their experiences. The usage of "en porte-à-porte" indicates a continuous journey or pursuit. The subsequent lines about tracing with absinthe and the rise of it up the nose symbolize the protagonist's heightened senses or perception, possibly indicating the impact of certain experiences or emotions. The mention of painting "Cézanne's blue tongue" can be seen as a representation of artistic expression and the beauty found in unconventional or abstract forms. The reference to being asked for everything backwards suggests a sense of distortion or confusion in communication. Overall, the song portrays a complex emotional landscape and the exploration of one's inner self, with elements of introspection, vulnerability, and artistic expression.
