🎶 Mon Dieu song analysis

- The singer asks God to allow her to spend more time with her love.

- She lists different periods of time (one day, two days, eight days, etc.) and says that for each of these periods she would be willing to do something (worship him, tell him she loves him, create memories with him, etc.).

- The last stanza reveals that the singer's love is gone and she pleads with God to bring it back.

- Even though she knows she may have been wrong/made a mistake, she still wants to spend time with her love.

- The singer's repetition of "my God" throughout the song can be interpreted as showing the desperation she feels.
