- 1. На френски Tout seul dans mon placard […] („Съвсем сам в своя килер […]“) означава, че героинята вече е приела да бъде момче и че ще продължава да се оприличава на такова до края на песента, използвайки мъжки род. Под „килер“ се има предвид английският израз to come out of the closet („да изляза от килера/гардероба“), който се е превърнал в жаргон на ЛГБТ обществото за това, когато човек осъзнае сексуалната си ориентация и я обяви публично. В случая се има предвид точно обратното – героинята се крие в килера и не иска да излезе от него, т.е. да обяви публично ориентацията си.
- 2. Чернотата в случая може да разбира по два начина:
