“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.
