Billionaire
Bergmann Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How come I always end up staring at the ceiling
What does it know I don’t
Faudrait que je passe la seconde, veiller n’est pas sage
Des demi-lunes se dessinent sur mon visage
But I can’t help it if I could I’d be a Billionaire by now
Hmmmm Hoooow howww
So much time I’m wasting Lord I know
Do I like it that way
What feels right is exhausting am I wrong
Will I find the right way
Pourtant faut que j’avance
J’ai rodé la salle d’attente
J’rate des trains puis je me réveille
C’est “Un jour sans fin”
Pourquoi j’ai pas sommeil
J’ai trop de pensées, je peux pas me concentrer
Quand est ce qu‘arrive demain
So much time I’m wasting Lord I know
Do I like it that way
What feels right is exhausting am I wrong
Will I find the right way
J’en dors plus la nuit
Oisive et sous vide sans air je suis pas perdue
Mon souffle est retenu depuis longtemps
J’matte le plafond.
Je sais pas ce que j’attends
C’est pas comme ça que je serai millionnaire
Tellement d’heures perdues je le sais
Ça ne peut pas continuer
Se sentir bien, c’est beaucoup de travail on va pas se le cacher
Cash cash cash cash
Trouvez-moi la money x2
Ou j’me cache cache cache cache et je devriendrai pas millionnaire
In "Billionaire", Bergmann is pondering on the direction of his life and all the thoughts that come with it. He is feeling stuck and unsure of what to do with himself, hence the line "Seems I got a lot to think about, how come I always end up staring at the ceiling, what does it know I don’t." He knows he needs to push forward and leave the waiting room he has been stuck in, but he can't help but feel like he's just living the same day over and over again, hence the reference to the movie "Groundhog Day" with the line, "C’est 'Un jour sans fin'".
The chorus, "So much time I’m wasting Lord I know, do I like it that way, what feels right is exhausting am I wrong, will I find the right way," showcases his self-doubt and questioning of his choices. He wonders if he should continue living the way he is, even if it feels exhausting or if he needs to make a change to find the right path for him.
The ending of the song features a nod to the title, "Cash cash cash cash, trouvez-moi la money," where Bergmann expresses a desire for financial success but acknowledges that simply hiding won't make him a millionaire. Overall, the song paints a vivid picture of the inner turmoil one can face when questioning their life's direction and the pursuit of success.
