Fast
Samba De La Muerte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
New York in the hottest peak days of summer.
Sit in a park and watch the world walk by.
Surrounded by giant towers of mirrors.
Why don't we jump on a plane with no info?
Not care about anything, do it our way.
Just grab a bag, take a cab and go right away.
I would be up for a dance in Nigeria.
Fela will open the doors of his temple.
Let's feel the pulse of the heart of Nigeria.
Forget ourselves in the beat and let sweat flow.
Why don't we jump on a plane with no info?
Deep in our seats we can dream by the window.
Just grab a bag, take a cab and go right away.
Make up our minds as to where we just wanna go.
There's nothing up to the power of Norway.
Where sunny weather in no time yields to snow.
The craggy mountains diving into the lakes.
Really caught our eye where they still grow.
Why don't we jump on a plane with no info?
Not care about anything, do it our way.
Just grab a bag, take a cab and go right away.
Hop on a plane from Morocco to Mexico.

J’habitais en 1998-2000, dans un appart au dernier étage de cette même tour (appart situé au centre), avec évidemment la même vue, et mes amis l’appelaient « le phare d’herouville » , pour ces faisceaux de lumière que l’on pouvait apercevoir de loin, la nuit, avec une ambiance lumière noire, appartement qui a vu beaucoup de personnes passer... avec des soirées enfumées... et musique electro en continue.... je suis tombé sur ce clip par hasard... c’est incroyable ! j’ai gardé des photos et vidéos de cette période, c’est troublant comme similitude.
@SambaDeLaMuerte
Merci Jérôme pour cette anecdote ! Oui quelle vue effectivement ! À bientôt !
