Overall Meaning

The song Terminus by Laurette La Perle is about the daily struggle of commuting by bus in Congo. The lyrics tell the story of a passenger who is not surprised by the early morning call of the rooster, but is surprised by the bumpy and rocky road ahead. The passenger endures the journey like a bull, with no sense of fatigue. The second verse talks about the arrival of Laurette La Perle on the scene, and how people are drawn to her music. The third verse speaks to the qualities of the bus driver, how he's knowledgeable about each intersection and the busy hours. The passenger encourages the driver to take shortcuts, and to put his skills to the test.


The song then talks about how the passenger is transported to another world when she listens to music on the bus. The lyrics describe how even though the bus takes her to the superstore, if she misses her stop, she will end up at the final destination, Terminus. The following verses continue to talk about the journey and the experiences of the passenger and driver. The final verses of the song talk about the importance of safety, specifically the seatbelt and airbags, which are essential for survival in a car crash.
