[Deepwaters]

I absolutely agree, this doesn't do it.

I don't get where Anthony is seeing this as a relationship going downhill that Alizée is trying to piece back together. That's not stated in the lyrics anywhere, and my sense is that Anthony is just reading that meaning into them.

What I sense instead is that the two lovers are separated by space and time: "Quand tu es sur terre," and all the references to both space and time keeping them apart. She has to imagine their coming together. She must divine his intentions. They desire each other under high tension, but there are no power outlets -- no way of actually making physical connection.

Everything is done from a distance, a spark of electric current, or an electromagnet.

There simply isn't enough sadness or anger in this song to merit Anthony's interpretation IMO.

Watch the video for this song. There's always a distance between Alizée and that gymnast. They come close together several times, but never touch.

Edit: Also, right from the first line -- "univers" is singular, not plural. It's not "our universes," it's "our universe."
