Sky

Sky, sky

Sky, you'd never told me

that she was a sorceress

I wouldn't be surprised

if she played her tricks on me

I had a nightmare

I was overdrawn

I got my sight back

in the green Ferrari

Iron

She fell from the sky

Sky

Yeah

She's a sorceress

'ceress

She fell from the sky

Sky

Yeah

You tell her you love her

But it's fake

You wanna change

the course of things

You followed your soul

to the very bottom of the pit

Today, you saw

your biggest flaw

Meaning

Life isn't like you think

That means

everything's just a matter of choice

It's over, but I keep

the most beautiful pictures

Go tell them

that it was a beautiful story

Sky, you'd never told me

that she was a sorceress

I wouldn't be surprised

if she played her tricks on me

I had a nightmare

I was overdrawn

I got my sight back

in the green Ferrari

Iron

She fell from the sky

Sky

Yeah

She's a sorceress

'ceress

She fell from the sky

Sky

Yeah

You follow me everywhere

even through my struggles

I lied to you the day

we were watching the sea

There's nothing else to do

given the shards of glass

Haunted by doubts

and the fear of losing you

Sky-sky-sky-sky

you'd never told me

that she was a sorceress

I wouldn't be surprised

if she played her tricks on me

I had a nightmare

I was overdrawn

I got my sight back

in the green Ferrari

Iron

She fell from the sky

Sky

Yeah

She's a sorceress

'ceress

She fell from the sky

Sky

Yeah

She fell from the sky

Yeah

She's a sorceress

She fell from the sky

Yeah

She's a sorceress

SONG MEANING

Look up at the ciel (sky)! In this hypnotic track, GIMS sings about a woman so dazzling she seems to have “fallen from the heavens.” He calls her a magician because she twists reality: one second he is trapped in a nightmare of debt, the next he “regains his sight” inside a flashy green Ferrari. The repeated chant “Elle est tombée du ciel” captures that surreal rush of love that feels impossible, risky, and wonderfully unreal all at once.

Yet beneath the glitter GIMS slips in a life lesson. He confesses to lies, doubts, and finally spotting his “plus grand défaut” – believing life would bend to his wishes. Love, he realizes, is built on choices and honesty rather than illusion. So while this romance ends, he chooses to keep its “plus belles images” as a souvenir. CIEL mixes dream-like fantasy with self-reflection, reminding us that even the most magical love stories must eventually land back on solid ground.
