Get Misunderstood
Troublemakers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Chaque fois que quelquechose a bougé dans ce monde ca a toujours été pour le pire. Voilà pourquoi personne ne bouge, personne n'ose provoquer l'avenir. Il faudrait être fou pour provoquer l'avenir, il faudrait être fou pour risquer de provoquer un nouveau 19 un nouveau 14 un nouveau 37....
- Alors il ne se passera jamais plus rien ? - ..... Si, parce qu'il y aura toujours des fous, des cons pour les suivre et des sages pour ne rien faire"
The lyrics to Troublemakers' song "Get Misunderstood" speak to the idea that people are afraid to take action and provoke change. The first verse suggests that people only want things to happen that they envision, and that they are not always aware of what is actually happening around them. The second verse references historical events, such as the Russian Revolution, and implies that those who create change are driven by a sense of inevitability rather than a desire for change. The chorus implies that while some people are afraid to take risks or take action, there will always be those who are willing to do so, even if it leads to chaos or disaster.
Overall, the song seems to be a commentary on the human condition, and the tension between the desire for stability and the need for change. It suggests that those who are willing to take risks or provoke change are important, even if they may be misunderstood or unpopular.

Personne ne sait ce qu'il se passe aujourd'hui parce que personne ne veut qu'il se passe quelquechose.
No one knows what is happening today because no one wants anything to happen.
En réalité on ne sait jamais ce qui se passe. On sait simplement ce qu'on veut qu'il se passe et c'est comme ca que les choses arrivent.
In reality, we never know what is happening. We only know what we want to happen, and that's how things happen.
En 17, Lénine et ses camarades ne disaient pas : " Nous allons faire la révolution parce que nous voulons la révolution." Ils disaient : " Toutes les conditions de la révolution sont réunies, la révolution est inéluctable. "Ils ont fait la révolution qui n'aurait jamais eu lieu s'ils ne l'avaient pas faite, et qu'ils n'auraient pas faite s'ils n'avaient pas pensé qu'elle était inéluctable uniquement parce qu'ils la voulaient.
In 1917, Lenin and his comrades did not say, 'We're going to make a revolution because we want a revolution.' They said, 'All the conditions for a revolution exist, and it's inevitable.' They made the revolution happen, which would never have happened if they hadn't done it, and they wouldn't have done it if they hadn't thought it was inevitable just because they wanted it.
Chaque fois que quelquechose a bougé dans ce monde ca a toujours été pour le pire.
Every time something has happened in this world, it has always been for the worse.
Voilà pourquoi personne ne bouge, personne n'ose provoquer l'avenir. Il faudrait être fou pour provoquer l'avenir, il faudrait être fou pour risquer de provoquer un nouveau 19 un nouveau 14 un nouveau 37....
That's why no one moves, and no one dares to provoke the future. You'd have to be crazy to provoke the future or risk starting another year of disaster.
- Alors il ne se passera jamais plus rien ? - ..... Si, parce qu'il y aura toujours des fous, des cons pour les suivre et des sages pour ne rien faire
- So, nothing will ever happen again? - No, because there will always be crazy people, foolish followers, and wise people who do nothing.
