      Yeah it takes on a different meaning in the context of Arcane.

    Let me introduce you to Pomme.
    Her real name is Claire Pommet and her stage name is Pomme which means Apple in french.
    She is 28 yo, from Lyon in France, and is multi-talented :
    - amazing voice: she often exposes her beautiful lower range but there are songs where she exposes amazing upper range : check her duet with Aurora where she harmonizes on top of Aurora in the second chorus ,
    - great instrumentalist: she plays guitar, autoharp, piano, cello, vocoder, banjo, synthetizer, …),
    - she composes and writes almost all of her songs.
    - She is also an actress (lead role in the movie "La Vénus d’Argent" released in November 2023) and
    - She is a writer ( she wrote a book for the youth titled "Sous les paupières").
    She erupted on the french musical scene about 10 years ago, with some covers and duets or even chorals on YT, when she was 18 yo .
    A lot of creativity and muscality exposed already, as you can see here in this cover of Chainsmokers « Don’t Let Me Down » th-cam.com/video/qFNZRJv1gzA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ddlO2ARPbPAJkHda
    In 2015/2016, she got even more noticed thru her supporting acts of famous french artists such as Vianney.
    Then late 2017 she had her first own stage performance in Paris and she released her first Album "A peu près".
    She wrote 2 songs on this first album.
    But since then, she has composed/written ALL songs from their next 3 albums: the second album "Les Failles", released in 2019, the 3rd called "Consolation" released in august 2022 and a recent one in 2024 titled "Saisons".
    She is famous in France: she has won the Best Newcomer Album award in Les Victoires de la musique 2020 (France music award ceremony) and she has won the Best Female Artist award in the 2021 edition.
    She lives half of the year in France and the other half in Montreal, Canada, where she has found love and a place to be even more connected to nature.
    She starts to be recognized on the international scene as well:
    - Aurora is a fan of her (Pomme also is a fan of Aurora since 2015) and Pomme was the first featuring on an Aurora album (wonderful duet called "Everything matters" th-cam.com/video/yX8bYwl9rKc/w-d-xo.html ) , they started a nice friendship, we can expect some additional collab in the future.
    Aurora covered her Adieu mon Homme and Pomme covered Aurora’s The Seed.
    - Billie Eilish also stated she is a fan and subscribed to Pomme’s channel: she recently said in an interview that she met Pomme during her first trip to France when she was only 15yo. She had an artistic (only?) crush and they have stayed in touch since then. Of course, Pomme is also a fan of Billie and made a very beautiful french cover of Bad Guy with an autoharp.
    - She is also highly praised by Julia and Angus Stone or Asaf Avidan that picked her for the opening of their concerts in France in 2018 . Julia invited her later to cover her hit Big Jet Plane with her autoharp on the album Songs for Australia (record from many artists to fund the battle against fires in Australia) and Julia , when she decided to sing a song in french, also asked Pomme to write the lyrics of a french translation of her hit Dance. They performed recently several duets together.
    - Pomme is also friend with Angèle, the famous belgian singer, they made several covers of each other and performed regularly as guests and in duet in their respective concerts
    - Pomme just completed in May-June 2024 a tour in Canada / US / Mexico
    - She just released a duet with Stromae titled "Ma Meilleure Ennemie" which is part of the soundtrack of Arcane Season 2 tv series. It topped the ww music trend in YT.
    Pomme plays autoharp since she is 14 yo, she explained she discovered this instrument as an absolute fan of the folk and country music ( fan of Joan Baez, Dolly Parton, ...)
    She defines her music as Authentic, Acoustic and Sad. She said there is always hope in her songs however.
    For some of her songs, hope is visible at the surface and some others, you have to dig down.
    Her songs relate to the Nature and the environment, to her own story and family, to different social issues (eg La lumiere is a song on Alzheimer's disease) and also her experience as a young lesbian girl.
    She said she is transforming her dreams and nightmares into songs or visuals for her videos.
    Her lyrics are poetic, she loves to leave room for personal interpretation and reinterpretation.
    This is something she discussed with Aurora recently in a live stream and they were both in the same direction here (as for many other things BTW). You can check this incredible conversation (in english, after the first couple minutes from Pomme in french): th-cam.com/video/mOQWFUkXrM0/w-d-xo.html.

    French here. The lyrics sung are definitively "Je t'aime, je t'attends" (I love you, I'm waiting for you). Although I can see how "Je t'aime, je te quitte" (I love you, I leave you) would make perfect sense in the situation of Jinx and Ekko, if not more

    The real saying in French is "Mieux vaut être seul que mal accompagné" wich mean "Better be alone than be poorly accompanied" (I’m a French speaker so sorry if my translation is clumsy) Stromae change it so it’s sound a bit sarcastic and fit better the couple he was singing about ❤

    Hey! I love your content
    Regarding the part about the saying, Stromae once again performs a brilliant and subtle sleight of hand because the real saying is, 'Better to be alone than in bad company.' By taking this saying and interpreting it in reverse, he shows how the deep desire to be with someone he knows is harmful makes him convincingly believe that the saying supports his choice, even though it doesn’t.

    Obviously there’s the more explicit meaning of this song, how this guy is mortal enemies with his childhood friend in his own world and when thrust into this other reality falls in love with another version of her, coming to see that everything he hates about his version of her is because of things that happened to her and that he gave up on her too soon. And the undercurrent of the song being that he cannot stay with her in this world because he has responsibilities in his own world, people he needs to help, not least of all his own mortal enemy, his beautiful curse. All these horrible things that have happened, the venom, the good things that could have been and all that could be. All wrapped up in this package of romantic, young love he needs to enjoy while it lasts.

    Also, you got it exactly right about the best enemy/friend. Stromae does these 'double entendres' all the time, in this case "ennemie" (enemy) sounding close to "amie" (friend). I'm not sure if "fuis-moi" (run from me) was also intended to sound close to "suis-moi" (follow me)

      You know what's worse? Not having context, which is exactly what the song is trying to portray. You have to watch the show to be able to understand the complexity of the situation. But that's what reactions are at the end of the day. I'm not complaining.

      ​@Gevo-tube or you know, he could at least watch more than 5 seconds, pause then continue on with hearing the song because the flow of the song is one of the most important things in it. If you continously pause and let your mind focus on other things even for a little bit, then you'd have completely ruined the flow of the song and your mind won't be able to paint the full picture of the song with your imagination, therefore making the whole song meaningless imo.
