“Amour Toujours” is Clara Luciani’s playful yet sharp look at modern romance. The chorus repeats the French equivalent of the daisy-petal game—a little, a lot, not at all—to show how quickly feelings can swing from devotion to indifference. Luciani pictures love as a private island or a fortress with the drawbridge always up: exciting, exclusive, and also suffocating. Passion here is a beautiful gift wrapped in danger, like “arsenic in a bottle of scented water.” To merge as one, the lovers must surrender “a bit of themselves somewhere,” so the relationship becomes a delicate tug-of-war where someone may end up “devouring” the other.
Despite the refrain “amour toujours” (love forever), the singer admits it often lasts only “not very long.” With witty metaphors and a disco-tinged beat, Luciani warns that Cupid has no mercy, and true love can make you bleed if you are not careful. The song captures the thrill, risk, and bittersweet irony of intense relationships, inviting listeners to dance while reflecting on how much of themselves they are willing to trade for passion.
