This band gives positive vibrations, stepping outside the French rap box. The alchemy between the intruments and the main rapper/DJ/band leader 20Syl, results in a appreciable coherence.
The lineup includes muscians Matthieu Lelièvre (on fender rhodes) Hevré Gogard (on bass), and Antoine Saint-Jean (on drums) with DJ Greem and 20Syl (MC), both members of C2C, the DJ crew, 2003-to-2006 DMC World DJ Team Championships winner.

Hocus Pocus Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

1, 2, 3, 4...

Yeah...

Normal...

Yeah, hein,

(Refrain)
Tu es Normal,
Tu respectes chaque critères,
Normal,
Et pas un cheuveu de travers,
Tu es Normal,
Ton destin linéaire,
Normal
Et ça c'est le monde à l'envers

Il revait d'un fils en blouse blanche,
Tu revais costume et de monter sur les planches,
A table ton père répetait "Ecoute fiston",
Pendant qu'dans ta tete résonnaient les trois coups de batons,
Il te voyait déjà faire médecine,
Et tu te voyais réciter Racine,
Tu soignes tes Malades Imaginaires,
En regrettant Molière

(Refrain)
Mais tu es Normal,
Et les yeux rarement ouverts,
Normal,
Un voile sur les paupières,
Tu es Normal,
Tout tes reves au vestiaire,
Normal,
Et ca c'est le monde à l'envers

Il revait d'une vie en robe blanche,
Tu revais robe noire, justice pour que les choses changent,
A Noel, on t'disait "Alors, c'est pour quand le bébé?",
Pendant qu'dans ta tete résonnait un nouveau plaidoyer,
Il te voyait déjà la bague au doigt,
Avec un mari blanc, comme toi,
Tu l'embrassais ce jour là,
En te demandant "Pourquoi?"

(Refrain)
Mais tu es Normal,
Tu respectes chaque critères,
Normal,
Et pas un cheuveu de travers,
Tu es Normal,
Ton destin linéaire,
Normal
Et ça c'est le monde à l'envers

Tu es Normal...

Yeah...

Suis-je Normal?

Es-tu Normal?

Normal...

Il revait que tes pages restent blanches,
Tu revais belles phrases et parfois de revanche,
Souvent il disait "Faut que tu trouves du taf",
Pendant que dans ta tete naissait ce paragraphe,
Il te voyait derrière un bureau faire tes 35heures,
Il te parlait d'ici et tu revais d'ailleurs,
Comme d'hab: t'écoutait à peine tes vieux,
Et pointait à l'ANPE

(Refrain)
Mais tu es Normal,
Tu respectes chaque critères,
Normal,
Et pas un cheuveu de travers,
Tu es Normal,
Ton destin linéaire,
Normal
Et ça c'est le monde à l'envers,
Mais tu es Normal,
Et les yeux rarement ouverts,
Normal,
Un voile sur les paupières,
Tu es Normal,
Tout tes reves au vestiaire,
Normal,
Et ca c'est le monde à l'envers

Tu es Normal,

Normal (x3)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hocus Pocus's "Normal" describe the pressure to conform to society's expectations and standards. The song starts with the repetition of counting up to four, setting a rhythmic and upbeat tone. The main chorus repeats the phrase "Tu es normal" (You are normal) several times, emphasizing the societal pressure to fit in and conform to predetermined criteria. The verses describe different scenarios in which the subject is not fulfilling their parents' expectations or their own dreams, but instead are following a linear and conventional path. For example, the first verse describes a father who wanted his son to become a doctor, but the son's dreams were in theater. Similarly, the next verse describes a woman who wanted to pursue a career in law, but was pressured into marriage and starting a family.

Throughout the song, the lyrics suggest that conforming to society's expectations can lead to a mundane and unfulfilling life - a "normal" life. The phrase "Et ça c'est le monde à l'envers" (And that's the world upside down) at the end of each chorus emphasizes the idea that the pressure to conform turns the natural order of things on its head. The repetition of the phrase "Tu es normal" throughout the song reinforces the idea that society's expectations of what is normal are often limiting and can prevent individuals from pursuing their true passions and dreams.

Superbe. C'est fou: moi qui suis un ennemi inconditionnel du rap et du hip-hop actuel, j'commence vraiment a adorer ces styles musicaux grace a hocus pocus ! Voila enfin un musicien qui redonne son sens aux initials Rythm And Poetry...
