Sauvage

La Grande Sophie's song "Sauvage" is a poetic exploration of self-discovery and the liberation that comes from embracing one's untamed nature. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who feels lost in their own world, yet finds solace in the freedom of their thoughts. The imagery of being "perdue dans ma bulle" (lost in my bubble) and "tout près des nuages" (close to the clouds) suggests a sense of detachment from reality, where the protagonist allows their mind to wander freely.

The repetition of the word "sauvage" (wild) throughout the song emphasizes a transformation or awakening. This wildness is not portrayed as chaotic or destructive, but rather as a return to a more authentic self. The protagonist stops speaking and becomes "suspendue" (suspended), indicating a pause from the external world to focus on inner thoughts and feelings. This introspection leads to a shedding of societal expectations and a reconnection with one's true nature.

The song also touches on the theme of dreaming, as highlighted in the lines "Quel doux cocktail / Qui nous appartient / Celui de rêver" (What a sweet cocktail / That belongs to us / That of dreaming). This suggests that the act of dreaming is a personal and liberating experience, one that allows individuals to escape the constraints of everyday life and explore their deepest desires. "Sauvage" ultimately celebrates the beauty of embracing one's inner wildness and the freedom that comes with it.
