The “Me…” therefore references the egocentric side of adolescence (theme that is repeated again in “l’Alizé”). |
If I can add my modest contribution:
"Lolita", (the young girl who turn on older man in the book) is the character Mylène choose to "create" when she decides to produces music for an another artist than her.And she chooses the young Alizee Jacotet for the part. It was both an artistic and a commercial choice.. ( i think)
Mylène love ambiguity. She know that could be provocative to have this song sing by a real teen...

"C'est pas faute à moi !" could be understanding as the claim of a girl who pretend to still behave like a child althought she know she now a woman who turn men on.
She pretend it's not her fault, but she know doing this irritate men around her. it's a kind of game. The purpose of Mylène is to make the people understand that she's not so innocent. ( dispise what she say)

Half cotton, half wool = mi-coton, mi-laine ( Mi-laine = Mylène.)
