ASD

Mademoiselle K's song 'ASD' delves into the complexities of human emotions and the struggle to find meaning in a seemingly indifferent world. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who feels smooth and unblemished, yet finds the ground beneath them equally smooth and unyielding. This metaphor suggests a lack of friction or challenge, leading the protagonist to seek out thorns to attach to their surroundings, symbolizing a desire for depth and authenticity in their experiences. The 'rides d'expression' or expression lines on their forehead further emphasize a longing for genuine emotional engagement and the marks that come with it.

The recurring imagery of a 'champ de ronces' or field of thorns represents the protagonist's internal landscape, one that is barren and uninviting, yet deeply personal and real. The use of 'aveugle et sans defonce' (blind and without intoxication) highlights a state of raw, unfiltered existence, devoid of artificial highs or distractions. This stark reality is both a source of pain and a badge of honor, as the protagonist embraces their natural, unadorned state, complete with its scars and imperfections.

The song also touches on the theme of self-destruction and healing. The act of 'jouer a se rayer' (playing at scratching oneself) with nothing but the scent of fresh air as a stimulant suggests a form of self-inflicted pain that paradoxically brings a sense of relief or clarity. The mention of 'cours de braille' (Braille lessons) implies a journey towards understanding and navigating this thorny existence, even when sight is obscured. Through 'ASD,' Mademoiselle K explores the beauty and struggle of embracing one's true self, thorns and all, in a world that often values smoothness and superficiality over depth and authenticity.
