Les Crêpes Aux Champignons is a deliciously dark tale served with a sprinkle of humor. At first, Olivia Ruiz’s narrator sounds like any lovelorn partner: she waves from her window, promises tasty mushroom crêpes, and even offers to do her sweetheart’s homework if he just comes back. Her lively, almost childish bargaining feels light… until you notice the knife she keeps vowing to put away.
As the verses pile up, we learn he has been gone for 606 mornings. Neighbors shout that she is crazy, that she is the one who “did him in,” but she refuses to accept it. The repeated chorus—part nursery rhyme, part haunting refrain—shows a woman trapped between denial and guilt, clinging to mundane comforts while her mind unravels. This contrast of cozy domesticity and chilling obsession makes the song a witty, unsettling exploration of love, loss, and the thin line between devotion and madness.
