Dernier métro
The Pirouettes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

J′me casse de ta soirée un peu énervé
J'entends le drum & bass depuis l′escalier
Franchement c'est chaud j'étais sur le point de pécho
Mais là j′ai qu′un seul objectif c'est le dernier métro

Il est 2h passé à ma montre dorée
J′passe la vitesse supérieure dans la cour intérieure
J'fais tomber la couronne de sapin du voisin
Putain j′ai qu'un seul objectif c′est le dernier métro

Faire tout c'qui est en mon possible pour y arriver
Devenir champion d'athlétisme et de corde à sauter
Oh oui, oh oui, oh oui
Savoir rester impassible aux appels de la ville
Oh oui, oh oui, oh oui
Passer ses pensées, éviter la corde sensible

Mon œur va bientôt lâcher si je continue
C′est tellement abusé ce froid dans la rue
Un type m′accoste me propose du spliff
Mais là j'ai qu′un seul objectif c'est le dernier métro

J′ai les Rita Mitsouko dans la tête depuis hier
Ils me hantent donnent à la fête un goût doux et amer
Mais c'est la mort qui l′a assassiné Marcia
C'est la mort qui l'a emmené

Arrivé vers la station y′a une meuf qui coure aussi
Comme elle est plutôt jolie je l′attrape et je lui dis
Si on l'a pas c′est pas grave on partage un taxi
Mais son seul objectif c'est le dernier métro

Faire tout c′qui est en mon possible pour y arriver
Devenir champion d'athlétisme et de corde à sauter
Oh oui, oh oui, oh oui
Savoir rester impassible aux appels de la ville
Oh oui, oh oui, oh oui
Passer ses pensées, éviter la corde sensible

Faire tout c′qui est en mon possible pour y arriver
Devenir champion d'athlétisme et de corde à sauter
Oh oui, oh oui, oh oui
Savoir rester impassible aux appels de la ville
Oh oui, oh oui, oh oui
Passer ses pensées, éviter la corde sensible




Oh oui, oh oui, oh oui
Oh oui, oh oui, oh oui

Overall Meaning

The Pirouettes's song Dernier métro is about the singer's determination to catch the last train of the night, despite various distractions and challenges. The singer starts off leaving a party feeling frustrated and hearing the drum and bass music from the club, but focuses on catching the last metro. As time ticks away and the journey becomes more difficult, including running into someone who offers them a joint, the singer remains steadfast on their goal. They use humor to describe their struggles, such as accidentally knocking over a neighbor's Christmas tree in their fervor to make it to the station.


The song is not merely about catching the last train, but also about persevering despite the distractions and challenges that come with living in a city. The lyrics suggest that the singer is trying to achieve something greater than just getting home on time, as they want to be an "athletics and jump rope champion." Additionally, they want to remain calm and resist the temptation of the city's calls, "eviter la corde sensible."


Overall, Dernier métro is a fast-paced, catchy song about the determination and perseverance required to achieve one's goals. It is an upbeat reflection on the challenges of living in a city and the importance of staying focused on one's objective.

Here's a rough (Google) translation of the lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I'm going out of your evening a little pissed off
I hear the drum and bass from the stairs
Frankly, it's hot, I was on the point of echo
But there, I have only one objective, it is the last metro

[Verse 2]
It is 2:00 am past my golden watch
I shift up a gear in the inner courtyard
I'm knocking down the fucking neighbors' fir crown
I have only one goal, it's the last metro

[Chorus]
Do everything in my power to make it happen
Become an athletics and jump rope champion
Oh yes oh yes oh yes
Know how to remain impassive to city calls
Oh yes oh yes oh yes
Skip thoughts, avoid the chord

[Verse 3]
My heart will soon give up if I continue
It's so abused this cold on the street
A guy accost me offers me a spliff
But there, I have only one objective, it is the last metro

[Bridge]
I've had the Rita Mitsukos in my head since yesterday
They haunt me give the party a sweet and bitter taste
But it was death that murdered her Marcia
It's death that took her away

[Verse 4]
Arrived at the station there is a girl running too
As she is rather pretty, I catch her and I tell her
If we don't have it, it doesn't matter, we share a taxi
But its only objective is the last metro

[Chorus]
Do everything in my power to make it happen
Become a track and jump champion
Oh yes oh yes oh yes
Know how to remain impassive to city calls
Oh yes oh yes oh yes
Skip thoughts, avoid the chord

Do everything in my power to make it happen
Become an athletics and jump rope champion
Oh yes oh yes oh yes
Know how to remain impassive to city calls
Oh yes oh yes oh yes
Skip thoughts, avoid the chord

Oh yes oh yes oh yes
Oh yes oh yes oh yes
