They became known in 2000 with their first release, "Lady (Hear Me Tonight)", a "french-flavour" house track with heavy pop and disco influences, which featured a sample from Chic's "Soup For One". The track became an instant #1 across Europe, and was followed up by other singles "Chillin'", "What I Mean" and "No More Tears". With this last single, they started calling themselves Modjo Band.
After "No More Tears" they started their respective solo careers, with Romain Tranchart remixing songs from various artist like Res ("Golden Boys"), Shaggy ("Sexy Lady"), Mylène Farmer ("California") and post producing the likes of Everynote's "Once Upon A Time". Yann released a very Queen-esque album, reaching some success in France.

What I Mean
Modjo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What I feel about the meaning of my life
What I need, what I feel
What I like to say and what I lie about
What I can't get, choose to it
I get out of my mind
The world's just up my feelings
I should rare my way back home right now
('Cause I gave her everything I got)
I can't stand the way she broke my heart
('Cause I gave her)
All my dreams, all my hopes
Are the things I love and that I use to know
God, I pray every day
But I feel so empty since you went away
What I can't get, choose to it
I get out of my mind
The world's just up my feelings
And I just can't even cry
I should rare my way back home right now
(Because I gave her everything I got)
I can't stand the way she broke my heart
(Because I gave her)
What I can't get, choose to it
I get out of my mind
The world's just up my feelings
And I just can't even cry
This moon will last forever
Or maybe till I die
So why keep holding on
Until I get another time
I should rare my way back home right now
(I'm gonna give her everything I got)
I can't stand the way she broke my heart
(No I can't stand the way you broke my heart)
I should rare my way back home right now
('Cause I gave her everything I got)
I can't stand the way she broke my heart
I should rare my way back home right now
I can't stand the way she broke my heart
The lyrics to Modjo's song "What I Mean" speak of the complexities of one's emotions, self-reflection, and the feeling of emptiness after losing someone they love. The chorus "What I mean, what I am, what I feel about the meaning of my life, what I need, what I feel, what I like to say and what I lie about" highlights the struggle of expressing oneself truthfully and the struggle to find meaning in life. The first verse speaks of feeling overwhelmed with emotions and feeling like the world is suffocating. The second verse talks about losing someone they love, which leaves them feeling empty and lost. The lyrics suggest that the singer is trying to find a way to move on from their heartbreak and to find their way back home.
