Sur la route de l'oseille, j'y ai laissé des plumes, entre les gros spliffs et les saloperies qu'on humes, pres d'un quart de siecle a vadrouiller sur le bitumes, pas qu'des choses dont jsuis fier mais le tous j'assume, j'attend plus rien d'personne, c'est pas les beau discours qui rechauffe quand je frissonen j'ai pris l'poteau rose en pleine tronche, quand on eclaire agen la vie c'est trash, si ma penséprofonde avait un intitulé sa serait sa, qui aillent tous ce faire enculé, j'ai du mal a rester correct, et puis la musique m'envahit, mais merde il nous écrase comme des insectes.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Flynt's song "Skit" depict a life on the road in pursuit of money and success, full of drugs and questionable decisions. The opening line, "Sur la route de l'oseille, j'y ai laissé des plumes," translates to "On the road to the money, I've left some feathers," implying that the singer has sacrificed some part of themselves in the process. The next line continues the theme of drug use, stating that they have inhaled "saloperies" or "filth." The following line reveals that the singer has spent nearly a quarter of a century on the streets, and while they are not proud of everything they have done, they own up to it all.

The chorus of the song expresses a sense of disillusionment and detachment from the world around them. They don't expect anything from anyone, and words alone do not provide them with comfort when they are shivering in the cold. The lyrics allude to some kind of traumatic experience, warning that when one sheds light on life in Agen, it is "trash." The final lines express a sense of frustration and anger towards the world at large, culminating in a desire for everyone to "go take it up the ass."

Overall, "Skit" paints a bleak portrait of a life on the fringes of society, characterized by substance abuse, aimlessness, and a deep-seated sense of disillusionment.
