Dame de Lotus

idk what this song means, but i just love the song. makes me feel like i'm floating in cool cool water under the night sky. bliss

So, from what I've seen of the translated lyrics (as I'm not a French speaker), I'd garner that Dame de Lotus is talking about the stagnancy of love and how it means to the woman. The lines "Entre deux roseaux tu penches/Étanche, regarde-moi là" ("Between two reeds you bent/Watertight, look at me there") could mean that while the two lovers are making love, one is thinking of someone else and the other wants them to see that they are the one there for them, not the fantasy. The lines "That which matters to the lotus women/I pick the petals off the lotus women/That which matters to the women, women, ah, ah" could be seen as the lover defacing the rival, though the following lines states the original lover as herself being as "no more, no less than a lotus woman" can be read as the original's insecurities, as she herself being a "lotus woman" at first. So to sum this up, the song is about lovers finding others and their insecurities, to me at least.

English:

I am buried alive Happy with myself Under the stagnant waters Think, think of me there

Woman, woman, lotus woman Woman, woman, lotus woman Woman, woman, woman, woman, ah, ah

I am buried alive Happy with myself Between two reeds you bent Watertight, look at me there

That which matters to the lotus women I pick the petals off the lotus women That which matters to the women, women, ah, ah

No more, no less than a lotus woman No more, no less than a lotus woman No more, no less than a lotus woman No more, no less, woman, lotus woman

I am buried alive Happy with myself Under the stagnant waters Think, think of me there

Lotus woman under the reeds Lotus woman bends on water

No more, no less than a lotus woman No more, no less than a lotus woman

Woman, woman, lotus woman Woman, woman, lotus woman Woman, woman, ah, ah Woman, lotus woman
