Hocus Pocus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Interesting Facts ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Il paraît qu'on se déplaçait avant pour zapper, ça c'est étonnant!
Maintenant, 250 chaînes et la parabole.
Avant, 250 pages et même pas ras-le-bol.
La littérature, et dire qu'un jour ça a été fun,
Mais j'troquerais pas tout Zola contre ma Playstation,
(Hey hey) ma nostalgie a des limites,
Et la technologie efface même un passé indélibile (Right).
A l'époque d'Eve et Adam, sans le béton et l'air nauséabond,
Sans les gaz d'échappement qui font monter le mercure,
Dur de supporter l'air pur.
Refrain: Mais comment on faisait avant?
Mais comment on faisait sans?
Mais comment on faisait, comment on faisait,
Comment on faisait, comment on faisait, comment on faisait avant?
Mais comment j'faisais avant hein? Sans le net et mon phone
Pour liquider mon solde et kiffer l'insomnie?
Des destins scellés illico-presto,
Un clic, un texto, ciao!
Mais comment on faisait avant, sans la chirurgie?
Il paraît qu'quand t'avais une sale gueule, c'était pour la vie.
Mais comment on faisait avant hein? Avant que la science progresse?
Des rumeurs disent qu'à l'époque les gens mourraient de vieillesse
Non maintenant, les virus ont tout infesté,
Avant, il paraît qu'on s'aimait sans peur des MST.
Qu'on kiffait sans Despé et qu'on riait sans hit,
Seulement maintenant on redescend vite
Refrain
Maintenant, les mec regardent la beauté intérieure.
C'est ça! Un tas de faux culs qui kiffent sur les faux seins.
Faut pas s'voiler la face, le naturel c'est loin
Et si t'as pas le style à la mode t'es rien!
Mais comment on faisait avant les clips pour avoir le style?
Avant le style pour porter les sapes de 80 en l'an 2000?
Avant l'an 2000 pour rire du futur d'antan:
Combinaisons argentées et véhicules volants.
Hier on se disait: Demain sera un jour meilleur
Demain on se dira: Hier on faisait une petite erreur!
Comment comment comment on faisait avant? C'est vrai
Et au fait comment on fera après?
Refrain
The lyrics of Hocus Pocus's song "Comment on faisait" describe the contrast between the past and present, highlighting how technology has transformed our lives while also erasing some of our traditions and values. The song starts by questioning how we used to change channels on the TV before the invention of the remote control. It then goes on to compare the limited number of channels and countless pages of literature to the overwhelming array of channels available today. The singer acknowledges the benefits of technology but suggests that it has come at a cost, eroding our memories and making us forgetful of our past.
The second verse shifts the focus to the impact of the internet and mobile phones on our social lives, making it easier to communicate but also more impersonal and superficial. The song also comments on the changes in societal attitudes towards physical appearance and the changing fashions over time. The lyrics suggest that we have lost our sense of authenticity and genuine connection with each other, while becoming more superficially obsessed with material possessions and appearance.
Overall, the song invites the listener to reflect on the changes that have taken place in the world and the way we live our lives. It prompts us to question whether we have sacrificed something meaningful in exchange for technological advancements and whether it is possible to go back to the simple yet authentic ways of the past.
