Tordu Tour Du Monde
Tarmac Lyrics

The lyrics of Tarmac's "Tordu Tour Du Monde" convey a sense of wanderlust and existential questioning. The song opens with the singer wondering who they are and if they are merely circling an endless world. The idea of having an uncertain destination is portrayed as strange and comical. The lyrics then describe the singer's apathy towards traveling and sharing experiences with others. The world is seen as twisted and morbid, with the possibility that the sun may not exist. The singer feels bored and deprived in the loneliness of their journey. The chorus repeats the phrase "Tordu tour du monde," which means twisted around the world, as a reminder of the distorted nature of the singer's journey.

The second verse of the song offers a glimmer of hope, as the singer longs for someone to join them in their travels. However, they express doubts about the limited space and dead-end paths that exist in this twisted world. The lyrics suggest that the world needs both the thin and the chubby, as well as people from all walks of life to create a diverse and nurturing environment. The song ends with the idea of being a good neighbor, of being a bridge connecting different worlds or paths.

The lyrics of "Tordu Tour Du Monde" are thought-provoking and vividly painting a picture of the complex emotions travelers experience while journeying across the world. The song's title, "Tordu Tour Du Monde," is an example of what is known as a polyptoton, a literary device that uses variations of the same word to create emphasis. The words "tout de soie la vision," mean "all silk vision," which can be interpreted as a way of describing a luxurious journey. The song's lyrics were written by the band's lead singer, Manu Lods.
