The song "La parisienne" by Marie-Paule Belle tells the story of a woman's journey of self-discovery and acceptance in the city of Paris. Initially, the narrator feels out of place in the capital, as she does not conform to the stereotypical image of a Parisian woman. She is not trendy, eccentric, or a vegetarian, and she feels judged for not fitting in.
As she meets a group of friends who are part of a communal lifestyle, she realizes that she still does not fit their expectations either. She is not promiscuous, a crossdresser, or masochistic. These experiences make her question her identity and seek the help of a doctor.
The doctor reveals that her obsession is sex, and advises her to embrace it. From this point on, the narrator starts to conform to societal expectations of what it means to be a "true" Parisian. She becomes sexually active, indulges in popular cultural interests, and adopts an eco-friendly lifestyle.
The underlying message of the song seems to be about the pressure to conform and the struggle to find one's identity in a society that imposes certain expectations. It highlights the irony that the narrator only finds acceptance and success when she conforms to societal norms, even if it means sacrificing her authenticity. Ultimately, the song conveys a sense of irony and critique towards the pressures of fitting into a particular image or lifestyle.
