Mer De Fumistes
Vulgaires Machins Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

C’est sûrement un cauchemar
C’est sûrement juste une farce
Une culture insipide de blagueurs en série
De bouffons, de mépris

Tellement nulle, tellement vide
Tellement fade et stérile
Je nage dans la connerie, je dors debout
Enragés où êtes-vous?

Quand je baigne dans une mer de fumistes
Quand je baigne dans une mer de fumistes

Hier est une catastrophe
Aujourd’hui est une farce
Aujourd’hui est morbide
Heureusement t’as pas de futur possible

Tellement nulle, tellement vide
Tellement fade et stérile
Ça recommence dans l’absurde
Qui m’inspire la révolte, qui m’aligne vers la sortie

Et je baigne dans une mer de fumistes
Et je baigne dans une mer de fumistes

Tellement fade
Tellement vide




Et je baigne dans une mer de fumistes
Et je baigne dans une mer de fumistes

Overall Meaning

The first verse of Vulgaires Machins' song "Mer de Fumistes" is a commentary on the state of culture and society. The singer is overwhelmed with what they perceive as a sea of people who are empty, humorless, and contemptuous. They describe it as a nightmare or a joke, and the people in question are portrayed as clowns and pranksters. The singer feels like they are drowning in stupidity and that nobody around them is genuinely outraged about anything. They call out for other angry people to join them in protest against this state of affairs.


The second verse continues this theme, with the singer describing the current day as a joke and a tragedy. They are glad that there is no future for them in this context, because the whole thing is so stale and sterile. The singer feels trapped in an absurd cycle of meaningless events and longs for a way out. Once again, they emphasize the emptiness and vacuity of the people around them, and how frustrating it is to be surrounded by people who don't seem to care about anything.


Overall, "Mer de Fumistes" is a song that expresses deep frustration with the culture and society of its time. The singer feels like they are surrounded by people who don't care about anything, who are content with an empty and meaningless existence.
