The song “La poupée monte le son” is a tribute to the immortal song with which Luxembourg won Eurovision 1965, 60 years ago – “Poupée de cire, poupée de son“. The song deals with female empowerment and liberation from outdated and limiting social patterns. The overall message is a call for women to rise above limiting perceptions, make their voices heard, and take control of their lives:
- Resistance to traditional perceptions: The speaker in the song opposes the perception that she is a “perfect doll” who only smiles and stays silent according to the man’s will.
Independence and power: She declares that she is not a marionette and cannot be manipulated, but takes control into her own hands. - Changing times: The song emphasizes that this is a new era, with new rules, where women are not dependent on men.
Breaking stereotypes: The speaker rejects the idea that she is as fragile as porcelain or as flexible as plastic, and emphasizes her need for freedom and independence. - New voice: “The doll turns up the sound” is a metaphor for women making their voices heard and demanding to be heard in society.
- New generation: The song describes the speaker as an echo of a new generation, without the old limitations and perceptions.
