Resistance
ADX Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Si ton cerveau éclate
Si ta vie n'est faite que d'ordure
Hanté par les menaces
Le mal de vivre n'est pas ce que tu crois
La loi pour tous, ou chacun pour soi
Dans ce monde
Résistance
Dans ce monde
Diviser dans le choix des armes
Paroles ou bien combats
Difficile de sécher tes larmes
Quand tu portes ta croix
Dynastie d'un temps révolu
Subir dans le mépris
Ton image est le cri de la rue
Prends garde à cet oubli
The lyrics of ADX's song "Résistance" capture the struggles of individuals who find themselves against the wall and dealing with difficult situations. The lyrics speak to those individuals who feel like they are hitting their heads against the wall, who are struggling to make their way through life amidst threats and obstacles.
The first verse speaks about the pain and suffering experienced by the singer - the feeling that their life is just a series of struggles and obstacles that they cannot overcome. The lyrics argue that the real cause of this pain and misery is not what it seems - it is not simply the inability to find happiness or meaning in life. Instead, the real problem is the stark choice between "the law for all" or "each man for himself." This "choice" is a reflection of a broader social and political reality that forces us to pick sides and join the fight or risk being left behind.
The chorus of the song, "Résistance dans ce monde" (Resistance in this world), is a rallying cry for the individuals dealing with these struggles. They are being called upon to resist the forces that are seeking to divide them and break them down. The second verse talks about the difficulty in choosing between "words or fights" and dealing with emotions that are difficult to manage.
Overall, the song captures the struggles of individuals who are trying to resist a world that seeks to keep them down. The lyrics are poignant and powerful, speaking to the experience of so many people who find themselves dealing with difficult situations.
