Drôle de mentalité
Djadja & Dinaz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Et j'compte sur personne, j'attends qu'mon heure sonne, nan nan nan nan
Et, des fois, j'm'isole, j'me pose plein d'questions, nan nan nan nan
Et j'ai qu'une envie, c'est d'me barrer
Comme ça, y a personne au moment où j'vais serrer
C'est la vraie vie, pas une série
T'as vu ces mecs-là, j'leur donne même plus un sourire
J'me battais pour l'terrain, j'parle d'acheter un terrain
Là, j'me balade tout seul dans l'Mercedes
J'lui dis d'changer d'couleur et d'mettre mon CD
Il faut des ous-s, voilà cous'
J'observe pétard à la bouche
Il faut des sous, un point c'est tout
Bébé, rejoins-moi dans la douche
Il faut des ous-s, voilà cous'
J'observe pétard à la bouche
Il faut des sous, un point c'est tout
Bébé, rejoins-moi dans la douche
Drôle de mentalité
Et j'compte sur personne, j'attends qu'mon heure sonne, nan nan nan nan
Nan nan nan nan
Et, des fois, j'm'isole, j'me pose plein d'questions, nan nan nan nan
Et ça s'répète
Moi, j'kiffe ses formes, elle, elle kiffe les hommes, nan nan nan nan
Nan nan nan nan
J'fais grave des efforts mais j'vais tout laisser, nan nan nan nan
T'auras rien d'ma part, ça, vous l'savez
Il fait l'Montana plein d'coke dans l'nez
On m'appelle du placard, placard
Envoie des mandats, on va cantiner
D'mande aux gens qui m'connaissent, j'suis resté l'même
On va pas durer longtemps, regarde la vie qu'on mène
T'as la haine, tu démarres le TDM
Si ça rafale, fais belek aux ADN
Autoroute du soleil, on a foncé
Cabriolet, on va bronzer
P'tite escale à Alicante
Tout l'année, on a compté
Arrêtez d'porter l'œil (arrêtez d'porter l'œil)
Y a rien, j'mets du monoï (y a rien, j'mets du monoï)
J'suis défoncé d'la veille (j'suis défoncé d'la veille)
Mais, frère, j'ai plus sommeil
Drôle de mentalité
Et j'compte sur personne, j'attends qu'mon heure sonne, nan nan nan nan
Nan nan nan nan
Et, des fois, j'm'isole, j'me pose plein d'questions, nan nan nan nan
Et ça s'répète
Moi, j'kiffe ses formes, elle, elle kiffe les hommes, nan nan nan nan
Nan nan nan nan
J'fais grave des efforts mais j'vais tout laisser, nan nan nan nan

The lyrics to "Drôle de mentalité" by Djadja & Dinaz convey a sense of disillusionment and a desire for escape. In the opening lines, the artist expresses a feeling of isolation and contemplation, waiting for their moment to come. They feel let down by others and no longer find joy in interacting with certain people. The mention of "serrer" (making moves) implies a need to take action and make connections when there is no one around to witness it. This highlights a longing for genuine human connections rather than superficial interactions.
The lyrics also emphasize the significance of money, as the artists mention the need for "ous-s" (slang for money). They observe the world around them, perhaps feeling disheartened by the materialistic nature of society, symbolized by observing with a cigarette in their mouths. The repetition of the phrase "Il faut des sous" (we need money) emphasizes the importance placed on financial success. The mention of inviting someone to join them in the shower may symbolize a desire for intimacy or physical pleasure, which can also be seen as a representation of their longing for escape from their current circumstances.
The chorus, "Drôle de mentalité" (Strange mentality), repeats throughout the song, capturing the underlying sentiment of the lyrics. The artists find themselves in a situation where they feel disconnected from others and question their own thoughts and actions. Despite the efforts they make to fit in and adapt, they reach a point where they contemplate leaving it all behind. This reflects a desire for a change of mindset and lifestyle.
The lyrics also touch on the artists' past struggles and the changes they have undergone. They mention the reputation they have earned ("On m'appelle du placard") and how they have remained true to themselves despite their rise to fame. The reference to the "Autoroute du soleil" (sun highway) and the carefree activities that follow, such as tanning and counting all year, portrays a luxurious and indulgent lifestyle. However, it is important to note that this lifestyle may not bring them true happiness or fulfillment.
In summary, "Drôle de mentalité" by Djadja & Dinaz conveys a sense of disillusionment, a longing for genuine connections, and a questioning of one's thoughts and actions. The lyrics also highlight the importance placed on financial success and the temptations of materialism. Ultimately, the artists express a desire for a change of mindset and a chance to leave behind their current circumstances.
