Flex
Django Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, flingue, flingue par terre ils diront que j'suis casse-pied
Tu n'as que très peu d'intérêt comme une chute au handball
Je suis venu cacher le soleil comme un million d'archers
J'suis matrixé par les putains depuis Mulholland Drive
J'vis dans le passé comme un arquebusier parmi snipers
J'me sens comme Jake Gyllenhaal devant son ami Cypher
Dans la nuit j'ai fait le tour mon frangin tu ne me connais pas
Mais je vais finir par tous les fumer comme dans Taxi Driver
Yeah, frappe rouge et vise l'écusson
Pétasse, aujourd'hui ça fait 7 ans que les verres sont cassés
Yeah, silencieux je vise le coussin
Je ne suis bon que dans La Haine, appelle-moi Vincent Cassel
Je suis migraineux frangin, mais ne me prend pas la tête
Tu ne fais que prêcher rapidement comme un pasteur coké
Tout est carré chez moi, l'univers est parallèle
Mais j'ai dû casser la démarche un peu comme Keyser Söze

Près de ma putain je flex
Près de ma putain je flex
Près de ma putain je flex
Près de ma putain je flex
Près de ma putain je flex
Près de ma putain je flex
Près-près de ma putain je flex
Près de ma putain je flex

J'ai perdu les pédales comme une automatique
Je suis déboussolé mais je ne perds pas le nord
Tu passes ta vie à la rêver devant X Factor
Mais tu n'es pas à ta place on dirait Pearl Harbor
Mon ami le monde est mauvais tel un mal au maybach
J'ai le corps du machiniste et la dégaine à Keith Ape
Revêtu le kimono pour attirer les geishas
Mal aimé toute ma vie je compose dans le noir comme Ray Charles
Entre nous ce n'est pas fini, ça n'a jamais commencé
Mais tu étais mon héroïne et j'étais Kurt Cobain
Ça fait longtemps que je n'ai plus le cup à Kirko B
Dans mon domaine je suis nommé brillant comme Kobe
J'arrive pieds nus, t'as tes lacets défaits
Ils sont trop petits, j'ai dépassé l'Everest
T'as pas l'air au courant, y a pas AC/DC
MDMA, j'ai déclassé l'effet

Près de ma putain je flex
Près de ma putain je flex
Près de ma putain je flex
Près de ma putain je flex
Près de ma putain je flex
Près de ma putain je flex
Près-près de ma putain je flex
Près de ma putain je flex

Overall Meaning

In Django's song Flex, the artist expresses his sense of detachment from the rest of the world while also describing his complex relationship with a woman. He opens the verse by stating that people call him "casse-pied" (pain in the neck) when he falls to the ground. He then describes himself as having little interest, just like a ball falling in handball. Django suggests that he has made it his mission to hide the sun like an archer, referencing the Greek myth of Apollo who pulled the sun across the sky with his chariot. However, this character's decline and downfall due to arrogance resonate with the artist's message. He admits that he feels so influenced and manipulated by pleasure women that it is as if he were trapped in a Matrix-like reality. The lyrics contain references to Jake Gyllenhaal's character in the 2001 movie Donnie Darko, as well as, Travis Bickle, the singer in Martin Scorsese's movie, Taxi Driver. These references reveal the artist's fascination with cinema and the exploration of human psyche, often represented in these films.


Django talks about his difficulty adapting to the present day situation, comparing himself to a shot gunner among snipers. He is out of place in this fast-paced environment, feeling like he is trapped in the past. He experiences anxiety and refers to himself as 'Vincent Cassel' in La Haine (Hate), whose turbulent character expresses the social and economic inequality of the French suburbs. He speaks about his vision being clouded with migraine pain but tells people not to stress him out. He recites the story of Keyser Söze, a character in the movie The Usual Suspects, who manages to deceive everyone by playing different roles. Django explains that he had to break his usual routine, implying that he has also had to make changes in his life.


In conclusion, the lyrics to Django's song Flex are a collage of pop-culture references and personal experience, depicting a character that is disconnected with the world and very much focused on his self-expression.
