La Fin Du Monde
Xavier Caféïne Lyrics

In the song "La Fin Du Monde," Xavier Caféïne portrays a message of rebellion against capitalism and consumerism that has overshadowed the revolution of the past. The lyrics suggest that the previous generation, represented by a character named Gérard, has failed to create a meaningful change, and the current generation is left to question its own values and way of life. The line "Elle était si tranquille, cette révolution, que le dieu de vos enfants c'est maintenant le cash" ("It was such a peaceful revolution that the god of your children is now cash") demonstrates the singer's frustration with how the revolution failed to achieve its goals and instead created a society that prioritizes wealth over everything else.

The chorus "Et si c'est la fin du monde / Je rentre à la maison / Personne ici n'est innocent / Et si c'est la fin du monde / Je la verrai à la télévision" ("And if it's the end of the world / I'll go home / No one here is innocent / And if it's the end of the world / I'll see it on television") serves as a reminder that although people may be aware of the problems and issues surrounding them, they continue to passively watch things unfold rather than take meaningful action.

Overall, the song speaks to the lack of progress and meaningful change in contemporary society and the need to break away from the grip of consumerism and capitalism. The lyrics suggest that the end of the world might be an appropriate consequence for humanity's lack of action and indifference towards pressing global issues.
