Outro
MC Solaar Lyrics

The lyrics of MC Solaar's song Outro are a reflection of a dystopian future. The song opens with the singer describing himself as being in the future where he is being pursued by a group known as the Synarchie. The line "Et ce sont les robots qui remplacent les cosmonautes" (And it's the robots that replace the cosmonauts) suggests a shift in technological advancement where robots have taken over space exploration. The following line "Y'a plein de philosophes, mais plus d'philosophie" (There are plenty of philosophers, but no more philosophy) highlights the theme of emptiness, where there is an abundance of knowledge but no substance.

The lyrics then take a random turn, mentioning a particular supermarket chain "Euromarché" and the color of their shopping bags. The line "Dulcie September en quête de démocratie" refers to a South African anti-apartheid activist who was assassinated in France. The song then takes on a nostalgic turn, invoking popular French fictional characters such as Jackou le croquant, Chéri-Bibi, Capitaine Flam, and others. Finally, the song ends with the lines "Il y a des satellites je cours si on m'alpague...Erreur sur la personne! Erreur sur la personne!" (There are satellites, I run if they catch me... Mistaken identity! Mistaken identity!), which reinforces the idea that even in the future, identity, and individuality remain essential, and any confusion or mistake is unacceptable.

Overall, MC Solaar's Outro is a thought-provoking and poignant reflection on the future where technological advancements may have replaced traditional values but human feelings and emotions remain unchanged.
