Alcaline Lyrics in English Alizée

Home / Lyrics Translation / Alizée / Alcaline

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Alcaline by Alizée from French to English.

A rhythm

A riff

Not much

The entrance of a gimmick

Click

It takes over

My heart speeds up

My body holds back

But the music made by

The one I'm becoming

An alkaline battery

Some adrenaline

To make my getaway

Some adrenaline

A battery you cuddle

For the great escape

Me, as far away at last

Where nothing, nothing reaches me

Flying off without seeing the end

Eyes closed toward elsewhere

Inner trip in my headphones

Nothing's essential to me anymore

The world doesn't exist

Only the music reveals

The one inside me

An alkaline battery

Some adrenaline

To make my getaway

Some adrenaline

A battery you cuddle

For the great escape

Me, as far away at last

Where nothing, nothing reaches me

Flying off without seeing the end

Everything stops, I see people

Like before, black and white

Passing in slow motion

I don't wanna be here

And the music starts again

I know who I am

An alkaline battery

Some adrenaline

To make my getaway

Some adrenaline

A battery you cuddle

For the great escape

Me, as far away at last

Where nothing, nothing reaches me

Flying off without seeing the end

SONG MEANING

Feel the surge! In “Alcaline,” French pop star Alizée paints music as a live wire that plugs straight into her heart. One catchy riff is all it takes for her pulse to race and her everyday body to morph into a buzzing “pile alcaline” – an alkaline battery overflowing with adrenaline. As the song progresses, she escapes the grey routine around her, closing her eyes and launching into a private voyage where nothing can hurt her and the outside world dissolves.

Why it matters:

Music = energy: the repeated image of a cuddly battery shows how comforting yet powerful a song can be.
Instant teleportation: with headphones on, she soars far beyond reach, proving that true freedom can start inside your own head.
Self-discovery: when the beat drops back in, she knows exactly who she is, refreshed and recharged.

“Alcaline” is a celebration of those moments when a single track flips life from black-and-white to full colour and reminds us that, sometimes, all you need for a great escape is the right song on repeat.
