Le futur
Dumas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Égarés dans le présent
Depuis deux-mille ans
Attendant un message
Du futur

Égarés dans le présent
Nous eurons l’espace temps (??)
Attendant un message
Du futur

Étendus dans un champ
Les yeux rivés au ciel




Espérant un message
Du futur

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dumas's song "Le Futur" is an exploration of humanity's relationship with time, space, and the unknown. The opening lines speak of being lost in the present for two thousand years, waiting for a message from the future. Through these lines, Dumas is speaking to the human tendency to focus on the past or the future, often at the cost of being present in the moment. The song suggests that, despite technological advances and the ability to traverse space-time, humanity remains lost and waiting for messages, unable to fully understand or appreciate the present.


The second paragraph also speaks to this theme, with the lyric "Nous eurons l'espace temps" hinting at humanity's relationship with time and the challenges of navigating it. The repeated message of "attendant un message du futur" reinforces the idea that humanity is always waiting for something, perhaps a sign or a message, that will help unlock the mysteries of the universe. The final verse, with its image of people lying in a field, gazing at the stars, suggests a sense of awe and wonder at the vastness of the universe, something that remains ungraspable despite humanity's attempts to understand it.


In conclusion, Dumas's "Le Futur" is a powerful meditation on humanity's place in the universe and our constant search for answers to life's biggest questions. Through its lyrics, the song speaks to the human need for connection, understanding, and a sense of purpose in a universe that is often cold and indifferent.
