Fausse route
Vulgaires Machins Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Je vais bifurquer
Je suis désactivé
Par une surcharge d'imposition irréalistes
J'ajouterai à ma liste
De me sortir du jeu et tendre la main
Pour mieux être hors de cette route
Qui ne mène a rien
Pour se questionner, en réanalyser
La substance même
Qui nous avale comme par éthique
Ils t'endorment et te dictent
De t'embarquer, t'enliser à pieds joints




Prisonnier de l'effort
Dans une course qui ne sert à rien

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Vulgaires Machins's song Fausse route (False route) speak of a feeling of being overwhelmed and disempowered by unrealistic expectations and pressures. The singer expresses their desire to veer off course, to exit the game and extend a helping hand to others who may be in a similar predicament. They feel trapped in a pursuit that ultimately leads nowhere and question the values that drive society to consume blindly and work tirelessly without purpose. The lyrics suggest a need for self-reflection and a collective re-examination of the societal norms that dictate our actions and restrict our freedom.


The line "Je suis désactivé" can be translated to "I am disabled" which can be read as a commentary on mental health issues that can arise from societal pressures, stress, and burnout. Through the use of metaphors such as being trapped in a game, being swallowed whole by a substance, and being a prisoner of an effort that is futile, the song poetically depicts the sense of hopelessness and alienation that can be experienced by individuals who struggle to keep up with the demands of a society driven by productivity and consumption.


In summary, "Fausse route" is a call for introspection and a critique of the pressures that modern society places on individuals to conform and to sustain unsustainable lifestyles that ultimately lead to a false sense of fulfillment. The song challenges its listeners to rethink the purpose of their actions and to question the values that drive their consumption and work ethics.
