Placebo
3. Turn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Si j'o.d demain, tu sauras que j'étais pissed off
Faut que je m'éloigne et fasse une croix sur mon passé dark
Pop a Perc ou fume des Woods jusqu'à pass out
J'ai toujours un peu la crainte qu'les flics bust down
Quand mon argent sale sera propre, j'serais en costard
V.V.S sur ma Rolex et dents iced out
Yeah haan
J'dirais plus que ma place en bas, qu'mon avenir est pas assez beau
J'changerais pas l'fusil d'épaule, ils veulent la paix, c'est non
J'veux accomplir l'impossible, ça va m'prendre un placebo
J'sais c'est quoi la vie de pauvre, est ben moins passionnante
J'ai toujours le sourire aux lèvres comme un dépressif
J'ramène la lune, j'pars dans l'ciel avec étoile tournevis
Dernier tour de piste, yeah, j'glisse
Étourdis comme l'aiguille de mon tourne-disque
Pieds nus dans la neige a contempler l'vide
Conscients du piège ont fait qu'alimenter l'vice
Ils sont devant l'cierge, ils attendent l'Antéchrist
On s'dirige vers la berge ou devant l'précipice
Soit j'marque soit ma passe est décisive
Ceci dit, être trop bavard, j'y remédie
Pas assez calme, j'roule encore je re-médite
Si tu trouves le million, est-ce que tu remets l'fric
The lyrics of 3. Turn's song "Placebo" reflect feelings of frustration, desire for change, and a struggle with one's past. The artist contemplates their own mortality, stating that if they were to die tomorrow, this song would be included in their best-of compilation. This suggests a sense of urgency in expressing their emotions and experiences.
The artist expresses the need to distance themselves from their dark past and make a fresh start. They mention using substances like Percocet or smoking marijuana until they pass out as a way to cope with their troubles. This serves as a metaphor for temporarily escaping reality or numbing emotional pain.
There is also a fear of encountering the authorities, with the mention of the artist being cautious about potential police raids. However, they aspire to a future where their illicit means of making money become legal and they can wear expensive clothes and jewelry.
The artist acknowledges that their current situation is not ideal and wants to achieve the impossible, which they refer to as taking a "placebo." This implies that they have a desire for change and seek something that will help them overcome their difficulties.
The lyrics also touch upon the artist's struggle with mental health. Despite feeling depressed, they maintain a smile on their face, perhaps as a coping mechanism or a façade to hide their true emotions. They metaphorically bring up images of bringing the moon and exploring the sky, which might reflect a desire for something greater in life.
The final lines of the lyrics pose a hypothetical question about finding a large sum of money. It suggests that if someone were to come across such a fortune, would they invest it or reinvest it? This can be interpreted as a reflection on the importance of making wise choices and not repeating past mistakes.
