In 2005, Vitalic's debut album, OK Cowboy was released on Different / PIAS Recordings. Pascal states that all of the instruments used in the album are synthesized. His official website states that "the only thing he can't fake is the emotion that galvanizes his music."
His song "Trahison" from OK Cowboy was used in the trailer for the 2007 French film Naissance des Pieuvres. His song "Poney Part 1" was featured in the Pleix film Birds. It was announced by Festival Republic that Vitalic would be playing both the Reading and Leeds Festivals in the UK in August 2009.
Vitalic's second studio album Flashmob was released in 2009. The first single, "Your Disco Song" is available for streaming at Vitalic's MySpace page. He has spoken a great deal about the new disco influence on Flashmob.
The Past
Vitalic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
youth will have its flings and that's why
our story just never existed
and that night belongs to the past...
"The Past" by Vitalic is a song that talks about nostalgia and moving on from a past relationship. The lyrics are melancholic as they convey the singer's feelings of finality and acceptance. The first line, "here we are, the final credits," suggests the end of a movie or a story. The singer is acknowledging that it's the end of their relationship, and they have to accept it.
The second line, "youth will have its flings and that's why," talks about the temporary nature of youthful relationships. The word "flings" implies that these relationships were short-lived and not meant to last. The third line, "our story just never existed," could be interpreted in two ways. One, it could mean that the relationship was never real or wasn't as significant as the singer initially thought. Two, it could mean that the relationship is now over, and the existence of the story is now in the past.
Finally, in the last line, "and that night belongs to the past," the singer conveys a sense of finality. The night they had together is now in the past, and there's no way to go back. The song implies that the singer has now moved on from the relationship even if it left a scar. The melancholic melody of the song also adds to the somber mood of the lyrics.
Line by Line Meaning
here we are, the final credits,
We have reached the end, the closure of our story or perhaps just a chapter, where the credits start rolling in movies.
youth will have its flings and that's why
The time of our youth is meant for us to explore our options and go wild with experiences, that's why we tend to have casual relationships and affairs.
our story just never existed
Between us, there was never a committed relationship or something that could be called love or connection. Our interactions were just another passing moment, now gone.
and that night belongs to the past...
That particular night, with all its happenings and memories, belongs to the past and cannot be relived, repeating that experience is not possible now or in the future.

siento decepcionarte, esta canción la usaron unos japoneses donde una tipa le limpia el sucio del prepucio a un tipo que parecía tener meses sin bañarse x.x
