Heros
Jean-Michel Rotin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Le Guitar Hero
Il a les doigts fatigués
Il joue trop de solos
Avec son groupe en tournée
Il a mal au dos
Mal au cœur et mal aux idées

Le Guitar Hero
Il a le blues déprimé
Cassé son vibrato
À trop le torturer
Il a le moral
Tout au fond de ses souliers!

Il voudrait rentrer chez lui
Retrouver sa p'tite amie
Il voudrait dormir huit jours
Il voudrait se saouler d'amour

Ras-le-bol des radios
Des télés, de la promo! Woh!

Il en a marre
De ses chansons
Des limousines et des avions!

Le Guitar Hero
Il a le rock déprimé
Les oreilles qui prennent l'eau
Et la voix dans les souliers!

Il voudrait rentrer chez lui
Retrouver sa p'tite amie
Il voudrait dormir huit jours
Il voudrait se saouler d'amour
Vivre dans le désert
Annuler tous ses concerts!

Le Guitar Hero
A la guitare débranchée
Il veut vendre ses motos
Et ses caisses customisées
Il a mal au dos
Mal au cœur et mal aux idées!




Le Guitar Hero
A la guitare fatiguée!

Overall Meaning

Jean-Michel Rotin's song "Héros" is about a well-known musician, a guitar hero, who is feeling overwhelmed with the demands of his profession. He is tired of constantly touring with his band, playing too many guitar solos, and dealing with the physical and emotional toll it is taking on him. The song portrays a man who is burnt out and looking for a break from the constant pressures of the music industry. He is looking for a way to escape the limelight and return to a simpler life.


The lyrics depict the guitar hero as someone who has lost his passion for music - his vibrato is broken, he is unable to come up with new creative ideas and he is tired of playing the same songs. He longs to be in the comfort of his home with his girlfriend, to sleep for days and get drunk on love. The endless routines of promotional events, performances, and media appearances no longer appeal to him, and he wishes to be away from it all.


The chorus repeats the phrase "Le Guitar Hero" to emphasize the singer's weary and drained condition, with the song ending on a melancholic note as he is unable to let go of his guitar, a symbol of a life once rich with music. The swirling guitar riffs and melancholic lyrics mix to produce a sad, yet honest narrative that gives a personal insight into the life of a guitar legend.

Ça me donne une vybz MJ version créole 😍😍😍😍

@philippepharel1817

Ma favorite de tout son répertoire connu. J'adore ce son... JMR est certainement le chanteur Zouk le plus talentueux de sa génération. Malheureusement sa carrière n'est pas à la hauteur de son génie musical.

@mizikkreyol

Formidable artiste ! Merci pour le partage !

@yttiiz

Un avant-gardiste, un très très grand artiste malheureusement peu apprécié à sa juste valeur.
