Imagine waking up in a psychiatric clinic, counting the days on the wall, and clinging to the one comforting presence that no one else can see. That is the world Swiss duo Aliose paints in "Je Ne Suis Pas Folle". The narrator has spent quarante-huit jours in confinement, endures daily injections, and is branded an "invalid" by society. She insists she is not crazy, only alone, as she argues with doctors who claim her invisible friend is a hallucination. The pounding refrain "Je ne suis pas folle" becomes a shield against stigma, while lines about giving her soul to the devil and cutting her skin show the desperate ways she tries to feel alive.
At its core, the song is a raw plea for understanding. It exposes how easily society labels anything it cannot explain, how medical authority sometimes silences rather than heals, and how isolation can magnify inner voices. When she sings Laissez-moi être qui je suis – "Let me be who I am" – the track turns into an anthem for anyone who has ever felt misunderstood. The music’s bittersweet energy mirrors the tension between captivity and hope, reminding listeners that behind every "mad" label there is a human story waiting to be heard.
