In 2013, Adélaïde Chabannes posted an ad on EasyZic, a social network for musicians, to which Raphaël Faget-Zaoui replied.
They met in Paris in the Pigalle district. During this meeting, the 17-year-old guitarist-cellist played Jimmy by Moriarty. They decided to form a band and rehearsed on Sundays, first singing songs in English before choosing to sing in French, inspired by bands like La Femme and Fauve2. The band's first name was Milky Way, but it was renamed Therapie Taxi in June 2016 with the arrival of two new members: Felix Gros on guitar and keyboards and Renaud Bizart on drums (also met through EasyZic)
Their first single as Therapie Taxi was Salop(e). This song was a big hit on the internet7 and several record companies were interested in the band, and finally Panenka Music signed them to a contract.
Hit Sale (2017-2019)
In March 2017, they released an EP6. They perform on stage in small provincial venues and in festivals6, such as Rock en Seine. They released a first single from their future debut album, Coma idyllique3. It was followed by Hit Sale featuring Roméo Elvis, which was the most listened-to track on the new talent playlist on Spotify3 and reached number 18 in France and number one in Belgium. It will be certified in Belgium and France as a golden disc.
On 2 February 2018, they released their first album Hit Sale. They celebrated this release with their first concert in a large venue, at La Maroquinerie in Paris6. From March, they started a tour to promote their first album accompanied by two new members: Vincent on guitar and Ilan on drums. In addition to this tour, they performed at several festivals. They were one of the nineteen artists to record a cover version for the first album produced by the Deezer platform. They sang Aline by the singer Christophe. On 16 November 2018, they released Hit Sale Xtra Cheese the reissue of their album with eight new tracks and two remixes by Yuksek and Contrefaçon.
In 2019, they finish their spring tour at the Zenith in Paris, and they perform at the Scène Bagatelle at Solidays and the Scène de la Plaine at Garorock on their summer tour. On 29 August 2019, at the end of their Poitiers concert, the band announced that their "Hit Sale" tour was over and that Vincent Duteuil and Ilan Rabaté (the musicians who had accompanied them throughout the tour) were officially part of the band.
Cadavre exquis and separation (2019-2021)
On 6 December 2019, their second album Cadavre exquis was released, consisting of 16 tracks, of which only two were already on streaming platforms. In August 2020, the band announced the cancellation of their tour for the autumn due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The band announced their separation on 2 December 2020 via social media, along with a final EP called Rupture 2 Merde and a farewell tour.
On 8 January 2021, the band released their farewell EP called Rupture 2 merde, which contained 7 tracks. On the same day, the video for the song Été 90 was released. They gave their last three sold-out concerts at the Zénith in Paris on 6, 7 and 8 October 2021.
Coma Idyllique
Therapie TAXI Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
J'évacue toute ma haine et je meurs
Comme une bombe dans un concert
Un Soleil dans l'hémisphère, je meurs
Mon corps se déchaîne
Je danse à perdre haleine et je meurs
Je suis un amoureux du vice
Un putain de terroriste et je meurs
Sers-toi un dernier verre
Je veux que tu finisses par terre
J'veux m'envoyer en l'air
Goûter l'atmosphère
Vas-y oublie tout, oublie tout
Vas-y oublie tout, oublie tout
Dans cette jeunesse abyssale
Je cherche mon idéal et je meurs
Coincé entre un whisky coca
Et un shot de tequila, je meurs
Du rhum à chez moi
Je sens qu'il n'y a qu'un pas mais je meurs
Ça y est, je cherche la sortie
Le sens de ma vie et je meurs
Sers-toi un dernier verre
Je veux que tu finisses par terre
J'veux m'envoyer en l'air
Goûter l'atmosphère
J'excelle mon lexique dans la tise (ha ha)
J'me socialise, j'improvise (ha ha)
Je minimise mon analyse (ha ha)
Je cicatrise dans l'alcoolisme (ha ha)
Au fond, je crois que j'agonise
Au fond, je crois que j'agonise
Sers-toi un dernier verre
Je veux que tu finisses par terre
J'veux m'envoyer en l'air
Goûter l'atmosphère

The lyrics to Thérapie taxi's song "Coma idyllique" express the reckless abandon of a young person's nightlife in Paris. The singer describes their experience of letting go of their anger and frustration through dancing and partying. They feel like a bomb exploding at a concert, a sun shining in the hemisphere, and a lover of vice or a terrorist. The use of these metaphors reveals the intense emotions that the singer is feeling and the danger they are willingly exposing themselves to.
The singer wants to forget everything and get lost in the atmosphere of the party. They seek their ideal in the chaos of their surroundings, caught between whiskey-cola and tequila shots. They feel that alcoholism is their only escape and that they are slowly dying. The repetition of the lines "Sers-toi un dernier verre" (Pour yourself one last drink) and "Je veux que tu finisses par terre" (I want you to end up on the ground) reflect the singer's desire for oblivion and the destructive nature of their lifestyle.
Overall, "Coma idyllique" is a bleak yet honest portrayal of the French youth culture that celebrates excess and indulgence.
