Aspiration Lyrics in English Zaho de Sagazan

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Aspiration by Zaho de Sagazan from French to English.
Some aspirations
And the spiral begins
For inspiration
Madam caresses madness
But never stops
And never will stop
This voice in the head
That will always bring her back
To her pretty cigarette
Her pretty cigarette
It's her last cigarette
The ones that make your head spin
Some aspirations
And the spiral starts again
For inspiration
I become stupid, everything becomes dense
But never stops
And never will stop
This voice in the head
That will always bring me back
To my pretty cigarette
My pretty cigarette
It's my last cigarette
The ones that make my head spin
Make your head spin
Make your head spin
Make your head spin
Make my head spin
Last cigarette
Last cigarette
Last cigarette
It will be my last cigarette
I want one last cigarette
Last cigarette
Last cigarette
It will be my last cigarette
I want one last cigarette
Last cigarette
Last cigarette
It will be my last cigarette
I want one last cigarette
Last cigarette
Last cigarette
It will be my last cigarette
I want one last
Cigarette
Last cigarette
Last cigarette
It will be my last cigarette
I want one last cigarette
Last cigarette
Last cigarette
It will be my last
Last, last cigarette

SONG MEANING

Aspiration is Zaho de Sagazan’s smoky confession booth, where every breath in becomes a tug-of-war between creativity and craving. The title itself plays on French: aspiration is both the act of inhaling and the spark of inspiration. Over a hypnotic loop, the singer admits that a few drags from her jolie cigarette seem to unlock ideas, yet they also pull her into a dizzying spiral. That inner voice keeps whispering, promising just one last puff, but the “last” never arrives.

Beneath the catchy repetition lies a raw portrait of addiction’s vicious cycle. Each verse mirrors the previous one, underlining how habits replay like a broken record: momentary calm, quick rush of ideas, then the return of guilt and longing. The song feels at once intimate and universal, capturing that delicate line where comfort turns to compulsion. Whether you wrestle with cigarettes, caffeine, or any other fix, “Aspiration” reminds us how easy it is to romanticize our vices—and how hard it is to finally put them down.
