Lyrics
Dans un sommeil éternel
Refers to being in an eternal sleep
Je suis le spectre de la rose
Identifying as the spirit or essence of a rose
Et je t'appelle
Calling out to someone
Spectre, spectre of my dream come back to me
Requesting the return of a dreamlike figure
Where have you been
Asking where the figure has been
Deceptor, weave your spell I'll come willingly
Asking the figure to use its deceptive powers
Why can't you see
Questioning the figure's inability to see
I wanna be your one and only
Expressing a desire to be the only one for someone
Please tell me you'll be mine
Seeking assurance of being claimed by the person
Don't wanna feel sad and lonely
Not wanting to experience sadness and loneliness
My heart is on the line
Feeling vulnerable and emotionally exposed
Nectar drew me into your endless embrace
Being drawn into an endless embrace by a captivating essence
Without a trace
Disappearing without leaving any evidence or trace
Protector; tells me he will always keep me safe
Expecting protection and promises of safety
There's no escape
Feeling trapped without any way out
I wanna be your one and only
Reiterating the desire to be the sole focus of affection
Please tell me you'll be mine
Requesting confirmation of being chosen by the person
Don't wanna feel sad and lonely
Expressing the fear of feeling isolated and sad
My heart is on the line
Showing vulnerability with emotions at stake
When you're gone
Feeling lost and incomplete when the person is absent
I am lost
Expressing the dependency on the person's return for salvation
Come back and save me again
Reiterating the longing to be the sole focus of affection
I wanna be your one and only
Seeking confirmation of being chosen by the person
Please tell me you'll be mine
Resisting the emotions of loneliness and sadness
Don't wanna feel sad and lonely
Emphasizing the personal vulnerability in love
My heart is on the line
Reaffirming the personal emotional investment
Ô toi, qui de ma mort fus cause
Referencing someone being the cause of the speaker's death
Sans que tu puisses le chasser
Stating that the person cannot banish the speaker's presence
Toutes les nuits mon spectre rose
Asserting that the spirit of the rose visits every night
À ton chevet viendra danser
Reinforcing the presence of the rose's spirit by the bedside
Mais ne crains rien, je ne réclame
Assuring that there's no demand for religious rituals
Ni messe ni De profundis
Clarifying the scent of the rose as the essence of the speaker's soul
Ce léger parfum est mon âme
Asserting arrival from paradise through the fragrance
Et j'arrive du paradis
Claiming arrival from paradise as the essence of the rose
