about

Do you know the physical sensation of being restless? That exciting yet scary feeling you get in every part of your body, like when a storm is coming? "électrique" is the 1st single from Billie Bird's upcoming album. About the song, she explains, "It's a song about breaking up, making up, or the tipping point between the two. I'm talking about an asymmetry in the perception of the love relationship. One person doesn't want to confront the fact that the relationship has eroded, while the other is going through violent inner discharges that urge them to urgently find a way out of the situation."

lyrics

Dis-moi 
On s’aimait comme des dingues
Aujourd’hui, nous en sommes là
Plus d’euphorie, ni d’ivresse
Juste une odeur de tabac froid
On s’emmerde, on s’enlise
J’en peux plus qu’on s’éternise
C’est plus nous, c’est complexe
Et de ta bouche 
Un rien me vexe

Je suis électrique
Choque-moi 
Je suis prête pour une fin épique
Je suis électrique
Magnétique 
Voltaïque 
Je suis électrique
Choque-moi
 Je suis prête pour une fin mythique
Je suis électrique
Magnétique 
Erotique

C’est quoi tous ces « je t’aime »
Penses-tu vraiment ces mots-là ?
Tu crois être en eaux saines, mais c’est
Un marécage pour moi 
On s’éreinte, on s’épuise 
C’est plus nous, c’est grotesque
1’000 ampères au compteur 
Je disjoncte

Ooh oooh
Choque-moi
Ooh ooh ooh
Choque-moi

Je suis électrique
Magnétique
Erotique 
Je suis électrique
Magnétique
Voltaïque
