Comett records a first self-produced EP entitled “Meeting With The Stars”. This EP is in reality a stepping-stone that urges Alex to improve his writing and to define his own musical universe, nurtured by pop, indie, and electronic influences. It is therefore only after several trips abroad (1 year in London and 2 years in Dublin) that the composition of a first album occurs. Back in France (Paris), Alex is able to surround himself with talented and creative people, beginning with Julien G., a drummer and rhythmic programmer who can refine the musical tone of the songs as the tracks are exchanged back and forth from Paris to Tours. Mixing and matching audacity and skills with music, cinema, and graphics, the album will eventually tell a story and will be entitled “My reality is your fiction”. Very soon after, Yoann Auzanneau (a.k.a Ozano), a graphic artist, joins the project, creates the characters, and puts the story in a retro-futurist world. Comett records the full album at “home” in 3 years, the final mixing and mastering is realized by Antoine Chaperon (Grisbi). A first stop-motion video is produced by Les lapins de l’espace (Grandville, I am un chien, Hawa, Bob the monster…) under the direction of Romain Wagner. The video introduces the album “My Reality is Your Fiction” with the single “Once Upon a Time/City of Lights”. With no marketing, the video and the song are quickly taken up by social networks, blogs and other Web sites. Proof of its uniqueness and originality, the single is part of several festivals including the International Festival of the clip (Protoclip), and won an award at the festival clip of Barcelona. Comett will release his first album during 2013 , which will be followed by several gigs.

Comett Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Je suis au milieu du jeu, pourtant je me sens si vieux
Le boss de fin, ce n′est pourtant pas pour demain
Je suis au milieu du jeu, pourtant je me sens si vieux
Bientôt deux fois vingt, je ne suis toujours pas serein

Es-tu si content
Ou fais-tu semblant
D'être Peter pan

Tu ne portes pas de collant
C′est un peu navrant
De craindre le présent
Dès fois c'est trop dur
Je veux la voiture, de retour vers le futur
Penser mes blessures
Mais ils me construisent
Puis ils me détruisent
Au fur et à mesure

Je suis au milieu du jeu, pourtant je me sens si vieux
Le boss de fin, ce n'est pourtant pas pour demain
Je suis au milieu du jeu, pourtant je me sens si vieux
Bientôt deux fois vingt, je ne suis toujours pas serein

Je connais les règles du jeu
Pas de reset je peux faire mieux
Pas de cheat code, de truc véreux
À s′en vouloir, la nuit très tard
Je suis comme çà, j′attraperai pas
Les fautes passées, pas oubliées
Les rendez-vous que j'ai manqué
Ici, une vie, ta vie, c′est elle que j'ai choisi

Je suis au milieu du jeu, pourtant je me sens si vieux
Le boss de fin, ce n′est pourtant pas pour demain

Je suis au milieu du jeu, pourtant je me sens si vieux
Bientôt deux fois vingt, je ne suis toujours pas serein

Overall Meaning

In the song "Reset" by Comett, the singer reflects on being in the middle of life's game, but feeling old and uncertain about the future. The lyrics convey a sense of nostalgia for youth and a desire to reset the past and make better choices. The chorus repeats the line "I am in the middle of the game, yet I feel so old, the final boss is not for tomorrow." This metaphor of a video game boss as the ultimate challenge in life's journey shows that the singer still has many obstacles to overcome.

The second verse questions whether others are truly happy or just pretending like "Peter Pan," who never ages. The use of the phrase "not wearing tights" suggests that the singer is aware of the idea of growing up and taking on more responsibilities. Despite this, the lyrics express the desire to go back in time and fix mistakes, but also acknowledge that those same mistakes have shaped who they are today.

The final verse speaks directly to the listener, saying that the singer knows the rules of the game, that there is no reset button, and that they can only move forward from here. The phrase "here, a life, your life, it is the one I have chosen" suggests that the singer is taking ownership of their decisions and embracing the uncertainty of the future.

Overall, "Reset" is a contemplative and introspective song about reaching a crossroads in life and the struggle to make peace with the past and move forward.
