Let's be angels
Demanding angels
Drops of water
In the ocean
Handsome boys
Long sobs
And all the girls
Who go on a mission
But you
How do you see
Their life from above
Do you see
What's happening
Sometimes, I walked on water
Sometimes, I felt strong
There's Beauty and the Beast
And all those
Who lose their heads
But who could've believed
We'd relive those days
I'm the devil
A powerful danger
Don't let me
Fall from high up
Sometimes, I walked on water
Sometimes, I felt strong
There's Beauty and the Beast
And I dream
That you're still there
Sometimes, I walked on water
Sometimes, I felt strong
There's Beauty and the Beast
And I dream
That everything's even more beautiful

SONG MEANING

“La Belle et la Bête” sweeps you into a twilight world where halos mix with eyeliner. Indochine sprinkles the lyrics with images of angels, ocean droplets, handsome boys, and girls on secret missions, hinting that we are all fragile and fearless at the same time. The song feels like walking through a mirror: one side shimmers with innocence, the other crackles with danger.

In the chorus the singer flips from miracle to menace, claiming he can “walk on water” before confessing he might be the devil himself. Beauty stands for hope and the loved one who may still be watching “from above,” while the Beast embodies the inner chaos that begs not to fall from grace. By the end, the dream-pop tale invites us to embrace both sides of the coin—because believing in a future “even more beautiful” is the real act of courage.
