A year later, she met Caravan Palace bassist Antoine Toutsou through her parents and the pair played their first live show in 2004. Six months later, her backing group was expanded to three people when Higelin and Toutsou were joined by Sébastien Hoog and Vincent Polycarpe. She left school at the age of 15 in order to concentrate on a career in music.
In 2006, Higelin released her first extended play and the following year she opened for Iggy & the Stooges at the Printemps de Bourges music festival. She consequently embarked on a tour of France, which consisted of over thirty dates. On 8 June 2009, her eponymous debut studio album, Izia was released in France. In some reviews, the album garnered comparisons to Janis Joplin. The album performed reasonably well in the French albums chart, achieving a peak position of #31 and staying in the top 100 for 17 consecutive weeks.
She released the album So Much Trouble in 2011, and La Vague in 2015. Since 2012 she has also been active as a film actress.
So Much Trouble
IZIA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody moves away
Everybody knows the colour
Everybody seems to pray
Everybody claps their hands
Everybody wants to play
Everybody knows each other
Everybody tries to follow
Everybody seems to care
Everybody wants to succeed
Everybody seems to fail
And I cause so much trouble
And I cause so much trouble
And you're trying to keep
All your fantaisies away
But you can't make it all the way
And you're trying to keep
All your fantaisies away
But you can't make it all the way
Everybody makes some mistakes
Everybody says it's fate
Everybody lives for himself
Everybody wants to change
Everybody forgets your name
Everybody knows your face
Everybody wants to be first
Everybody ends up last
Everybody needs a lover
Everybody finds a friend
Everybody knows each other
Everybody moves away
And you're trying to keep
All your fantaisies away
But you can't make it all the way
And you're trying to keep
All your fantaisies away
But you can't make it all the way
Everybody knows each other
Everybody moves away
Everybody knows the colour
Everybody seems to pray
Everybody claps their hands
Everybody wants to play
Everybody knows each other
Everybody moves away
Everybody tries to follow
Everybody seems to care
Everybody wants to succeed
Everybody seems to fail
And I cause so much trouble
And I cause so much trouble
And you're trying to keep
All your fantaisies away
But you can't make it all the way
And you're trying to keep
All your fantaisies away
But you can't make it all the way... yeah!
The lyrics of "So Much Trouble" by IZIA shed light on the complexities of human relationships and the struggles that come with living in a society where people come and go, constantly chasing their aspirations. The song touches on themes of companionship, individualism, and the fear of being forgotten.
The repetition of "Everybody knows each other, everybody moves away" suggests that the people in the song's universe are well acquainted with each other, but their departures are inevitable. The line "everybody lives for himself, everybody wants to change" implies that people have different goals and that everyone is fighting for themselves. The chorus, where the singer admits to causing trouble, may suggest that she is aware of her impact on others but cannot help herself.
These lyrics are a commentary on the human condition and the universal struggle of longing for human connection amidst the chaos of life. The song is a lamentation of the impermanence and isolation that plagues modern society.
