Aujourd'hui Dans La Rue
Wunderbach Lyrics

The lyrics of Wunderbach's song "Aujourd'hui Dans La Rue" explore the life of someone who is excluded from society and spends their time hanging out on the streets. The first two verses ask what is currently happening in this person's life, questioning the status of their friends and their current existence. Whilst some friends remain, they find themselves frequenting the bars and streets of their hometown on Friday nights. The following verses explain how the person spends their nights today compared to the past. Although locations have changed, the individual remains at the entryways to various bars, occasionally getting into altercations with bouncers. The lyrics suggest that this lifestyle may not be better than the past, and although the individual claims to be proud of their life, some nights they aren't so sure if they want to continue down that path.

The repetition of "tu traines dans la rue" throughout the song emphasizes the individual's attachment to the streets, and their inability or unwillingness to move on. Through the different verses, Wunderbach introduces the listener to the dichotomy of feeling proud and having regrets about one's own life choices. This theme is common in many songs, but in "Aujourd'hui Dans La Rue," it is particularly powerful as the listener is introduced to a character that is excluded from society, with little hope of finding a way out.
