Attraction spins a playful aerial metaphor for the age-old quest for real love. The singer imagines herself as a pilot waiting for just the right gust of wind. Ordinary breezes like routine or career ambition feel empty, so she refuses to let them sweep her off course. What she craves is a “vent du plaisir” – a breeze filled with genuine affection strong enough to lift her into the sky and give her that weightless, panoramic sense of bliss. If love is not “in the air,” she would rather keep her feet on the ground than chase a misleading draft.
In each verse she weighs two forces: gravity on Earth that keeps her safely grounded, and the seductive pull of the open sky. Friends (likened to hardworking ants) promise security through labor and stability, yet her heart wants the sparkling adventure of true romance. The song ends with a charming paradox: whether she is standing on solid ground or soaring among the clouds, she will move only when she feels the authentic attraction of love. Until that moment arrives, she waits, confident and curious, letting lesser winds blow past.
