Given the reference to seeing things in black and white in the next line, some people think this may also be a reference to Corsican nationalists (who dress all in black).

yep ... thats why i kinda just passed it over, and said 'single minded extremists' .. cover all the bases .. lol

There's no way Alizée is referencing Corsican's tension in a song. You have to be very competent to sing political stuff in France. She and even Farmer wouldn't be taken seriously but probably laughed at big time! Not their domain, worse, not their competence!

I really like getting this 'French perspective' .. One thing is for sure, I am going to have to re-do those subtitles

I wouldn't care if it's a pain to do it. They're good enough...

Mylene definitely makes some political references in a few of her songs and interviews (comments about Le Pen, America, etc.). Usually in subtext, of course, but I'm not surprised she sneaks them in there.

That's cool as a way of explanation. Thanks. That makes me think of the bozos who fly a Confederate flag and actually still talk about seceding from the Union. (I don't know if that ever actually happens anymore, but I think I've heard of it happening.) I mean come on people, the Civil War ended like a hundred fifty years ago and everyone knows we're all happier being one country now. I'd just tell them, 'oh, SHUT UP!' (I need the smilely with the annoyed eye roll)

Unfortunately, people do say that stuff (seceding from the union)

Of course, that has NOTHING to do with Lili! I love AFrenchie's translations - and i'm sorry if i missed it, but what does "L'E-mail a des ailes" translate as, i'm having no luck with any online translator lately (my computer at home is refusing to acknowledge the internet!).
