Attention
Les Sales Majestés Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Qui guette tous les enfants de France
Que leurs aînés ont oubliés
Attention à la dictature
De l'argent qui cherche à exclure
Que leurs aînés ont fabriqué
Et attention à la vengeance
Entendez-vous la douleur
De ceux qui rêvent au bonheur ?
Et voyez la déchéance
De tous les enfants de France
Attention à tous ces vieillards
Qui vivent sans partage et sans gloire
Ces gens abrutis de pouvoir
Leur seul but est de t'assommer
D'augmenter les difficultés
Pour t'empêcher de réagir
Et attention à la vengeance
De tous ceux qui souffrent en silence
Entendez-vous la douleur
De ceux qui rêvent au bonheur ?
Et voyez la déchéance
De tous les enfants de France
The lyrics of Les Sales Majestés's song "Attention" speak to the dangers facing the children and youth of France. The first verse warns against the "degradation" or decline that awaits the children who have been forgotten by their elders. The second verse speaks to the "dictatorship" of money, which seeks to exclude and marginalize, a situation constructed by the previous generation. The third verse calls attention to the plight of those who suffer in silence, as the powerful seek to increase their own power by making life more difficult for the average person.
In the chorus, the lyrics draw attention to the "vengeance" of those who have been oppressed and marginalized, and make a plea for people to hear and understand their pain. The lyrics then urge people to pay attention to the "degradation" of the children of France, who are being left behind.
Overall, the song is a call to action, urging people to pay attention to the injustices faced by the younger generations and to work towards a better future. It's a reminder that the actions of the present generation have a profound impact on the future, and that we must be vigilant in fighting against inequality, oppression, and injustice.
