On me dit

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On me dit que bientôt nous verrons les missiles
Que la fraternité est déjà à l'asile
On me dit c'est l'amour qui va sauver le monde
(C'est ça)
Je vous dis que l'amour gît déjà dans sa tombe
Le spectacle est sublime
Et le peuple se noie
(soumets-toi)
L'apologie du crime
Des dollars plein les doigts
(soumets-toi)
C'est la loi de la jungle, la vraie divinité
(Soumets-toi)
Et à la fin du jeu, on sait qui va gagner
(Soumets-toi)
On me dit
On me dit d'obéir
On me dit soumets-toi
Et prends garde à toi !
On me dit que demain nous serons des millions
(Bravo)
Dociles et bien dressés pour la vaccination
L'horizon médical pour unique infini
(Oui)
Des aiguilles dans le ciel qui suturent la nuit
Le soleil se fait rare mais j'en vois qui rigolent
(soumets-toi)
En costard italien à mille mètres du sol
(Soumets-toi)
Il faut choisir son camp, le moment est venu
(Soumets-toi)
Car la peur est à l'œuvre et malheur aux vaincus
(soumets-toi)
On m'a dit
On me dit d'obéir
On me dit soumets-toi
Et prends garde à toi !
On me dit que nos rêves ne sont plus que poussières
Les atomes se débattent pour un peu de lumière
On m'a dit d'être heureux, de ne pas m'éloigner
(On m'a dit)
Automate épanoui dans un conte de fées
On m'a dit
On me dit le bonheur est une anomalie
Il n'y a plus que des rats et de pales utopies
Des insectes rampant dans les grands réseaux froids
Qui surveillent nos paroles et chacun de nos pas
C'est ce qu'on m'a dit
C'est ce qu'on m'a dit
C'est ce qu'on m'a dit
On me dit d'être fier
De nos brûlants cerveaux
Qui préparent bien au chaud
Nos hivers nucléaires
On me dit que la science est l'esprit du futur
On enterre les consciences sous le béton des murs
C'est ce qu'on m'a dit
C'est ce qu'on m'a dit
On me dit que l'histoire est écrite à l'envers
Que le meilleur commence mais l'étau se resserre




Quand viendra mon tour je fermerai les yeux
La nuit m'emportera dans ses bras silencieux

Overall Meaning

In the song "On me dit" by Demago, the lyrics express a sense of societal disillusionment and a warning about the dangers of blindly obeying authority. The lyrics point out the destructive nature of human behavior and the consequences of not questioning the status quo.


The first verse suggests that there is a belief that missiles will soon be visible, indicating an imminent threat. The mention of "fraternity" being confined to an asylum suggests that the sense of unity and brotherhood is in decline or being disregarded. The lyrics emphasize that love alone cannot save the world as it is already buried in its own grave. The spectacle mentioned here refers to the chaos and suffering in society, and the people are drowning in it. The lyrics also criticize the worship of money and the prevalence of crime.


The second verse touches on themes of conformity and control. The lyrics state that in the future, the masses will be docile and obedient in the face of widespread vaccination. The medical horizon is portrayed as the only infinite possibility, but it is also associated with needles stitching up the night sky, symbolizing the potential dangers of blindly accepting medical interventions. The lyrics highlight the irony of those in power, represented by people in Italian suits a thousand meters above the ground, who can afford to be indifferent to the suffering of others. The lyrics warn that the time has come to choose a side, as fear is manipulating society, and those who lose will face dire consequences.


The third verse explores the disillusionment of dreams and the diminishing hope for a better future. The lyrics lament that dreams have become dust, and the atomic world is fighting for a glimmer of light. Happiness is portrayed as an anomaly, and the lyrics suggest that our society has become a cold, dystopian place where insects crawl through vast networks, surveilling our every word and step.


The final verses tackle themes of intellectual suppression and the bleak outlook for the future. The lyrics criticize the belief that science represents the future, as it buries consciousness beneath the walls of conformity. History is depicted as being written in reverse, where the best is yet to come but the grip of control tightens. The lyrics also suggest a resignation to a silent, inevitable fate, where the night will carry away the singer in its embrace.


Overall, "On me dit" reflects the artist's concerns about the loss of individual freedom, the dangers of blind obedience to authority, and the bleak future that awaits if society continues on its current path. The lyrics encourage critical thinking, questioning societal norms, and standing up against oppressive forces.
