Inspired by the percussive sounds of urban music and the effervescence of old-school rock, we hear in his music the echo of a nonchalant spring-reverb, the warmth of summer evenings, and above all his airy, playful and colourful voice. Using different instruments with a looper, the live set moves skilfully between danceable hits and soaring melodies.
This one-man-band takes us on a journey through his paradoxical world, uniting intoxication and fever in a joyful meditative mix of explosive pop and vintage sounds.
Stupid
Victor Marc Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we should give a minute of our time to listen
Everything is going to shit and you know who's pulling the string
It's a white night with a bad wine you're alone and still
When you think nothing would you rather say something out loud
When you think nothing would you rather say something
Why don't you really know,
If you cannot love, if things are so ugly then you can run
If things are much better in your alternate world with your favorite girl
They could be on your side and fight in your vision
But it just seems like you've tried too hard to bring them back to reason
You've had enough you think you're going mad, you wanna leave this town
It's a bit tough all the people's laughs, when you're shaking your head but words won't come
When you think nothing would you rather say something out loud
When you think nothing would you rather say something
Why don't you really know
If you cannot love, if things are so ugly then you can run
Why don't you really go,
If things are much better in your alternate world with your favorite girl
There are not that many snakes in the water my friend
You might be surprised just how much it wouldn't help to know
The lyrics of "Stupid" by Victor Marc seem to address the frustration and helplessness that can come with feeling like the world is falling apart and that those in power are not acting in our best interest. The opening lines, "You've never seen anything so stupid you say / And we should give a minute of our time to listen" suggest a sense of disbelief and frustration with the state of things.
The lyrics go on to suggest that there may be an alternate world where things are better, but the singer seems unsure of how to get there. "If things are so ugly then you can run / If things are much better in your alternate world with your favorite girl" seems to suggest a desire to escape from the problems of the world, but also a realization that running away may not be the solution.
The line "There are not that many snakes in the water my friend / You might be surprised just how much it wouldn't help to know" is a bit enigmatic, but seems to suggest that there may not be as many hidden dangers or secrets as we might think, and that knowing them wouldn't necessarily make anything better. Overall, the lyrics seem to express a sense of wanting to speak out against the problems of the world but feeling powerless to do so, and considering the possibility of escaping from it all.
