La debandade
Tryo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Il est temps de suivre la route des Boys Band avant que notre arc débande !
Il est temps de plomber le reggae ici bas
faire d'la musique populaire qui danse facilement sur les pas.
Il est temps de trouver les douces mélodies commerciales
Qui font hélas le rythme de la vie.
Petit producteur ! Viens donc vers moi
Crache tes thunes et détournes toi de moi !
Je n'ai rien à dire rein à faire hélas rien à chanter

Mais il paraît que nos putains de gueules leur plaît ! hé ! Hé !
Il est temps de suivre la route des boys band avant que notre arc débande
Il est temps d'envahir la Frnace entière par notre clip
Faire luire notre corps body buildé sous l'soleil des tropiques
laisser chemise ouverte poils offerts vcheveux laissés dans le vent
se laisser glisser sur la mer bleue par un catamaran
Petit producteur
emmène nous là-bas
au pays des femmes de la thune, de la coke !
"Oula !"
je n'ai rien à dire rien à faire mais en attendant

crache le maximum de bouzouffe et droit au vent !
Il est temps de suivre la route des boys bans avant que notre arc débande !

Overall Meaning

In this song, Tryo is mocking the music industry, particularly the newfound obsession with boy bands and the commercialization of music. The lyrics suggest that it is time for them to abandon their artistic integrity and follow the path of boy bands in order to avoid dwindling popularity. The use of the metaphor "avant que notre arc débande" (before our bow collapses) implies that their music career, like an archer's bow, is at risk of losing power and effectiveness if they do not conform to the current trends.

The lyrics also touch on the idea of creating music solely for commercial success, disregarding any artistic value or personal message. Tryo uses sarcastic language to describe the process of making popular music, referencing selling out to record labels and using catchy, commercial melodies instead of true expression. They even suggest that physical appearance is more important than musical talent, as they describe their bodies and suggest filming a music video in which they show off their bodies.

Overall, Tryo is conveying a message of disappointed satire towards the music industry, highlighting the shallow and superficial values that have become prevalent in the industry.
