Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Spécialement dédicacé à tous ceux qui sont motivés (motivés motivés motivés)
Spécialement dédicacé à tous ceux qui ont résisté par le passé
Ami entends-tu le vol noir des corbeaux sur nos plaines
Ami entends-tu les cris sourds des pays qu'on enchaîne
Ohé partisan ouvrier paysan c'est l'alarme
Ce soir ennemi connaîtra le prix du sang et des larmes
Motivé motivé, il faut rester motivé
Motivé motivé, il faut se motiver
Motivé motivé, soyons motivés
Motivé motivé, motivé motivé
C'est nous qui brisons les barreaux des prisons pour nos frères
La haine à nos trousses et la faim qui nous pousse la misère
Il est des pays où les gens au creux des lits font des rêves
Chantez compagnons dans la nuit la liberté vous écoute
Motivé motivé, il faut rester motivé
Motivé motivé, il faut se motiver
Motivé motivé, soyons motivés
Motivé motivé, motivé motivé
Ici chacun sait ce qu'il veut ce qu'il fait quand il passe
Ami si tu tombes un ami sort de l'ombre à ta place
Ohé partisan ouvrier paysan c'est l'alarme
Ce soir ennemi connaîtra le prix du sang et des larmes
Motivé motivé, il faut rester motivé
Motivé motivé, il faut se motiver
Motivé motivé, soyons motivés
Motivé motivé, motivé
On va rester motivé pour le face à face
On va rester motivé quand on les aura en face
On va rester motivé pourvu que ça se sache
On va rester motivé, sans... (motivé motivé)
Motivé motivé, il faut rester motivé
Motivé motivé, il faut se motiver
Motivé motivé, soyons motivés
Motivé motivé, il faut se motiver
Motivé motivé, on va rester motivé pour le face à face
Motivé motivé, on va rester motivé quand on les aura en face
Motivé motivé, on va rester motivé on veut que ça se sache
Motivé motivé, on va rester motivé pour la lutte des classes
Motivé motivé, on va rester motivé (x 4)
Motivé motivé...

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I hope you know that the lyrics of this song are not from Zebda. Actually, they are the lyrics of "le chant des partisans", which is the song of the French Resistance fighter. It has been written in 1943 in London and immediately became the hymn of the Resistance against the nazis. The mentionned "enemy" means the nazis and therefore, somehow the violence of the lyrics is justified. It is a song of fraternity, of fight against fascism, a call to resistance. Today the song is still sung to call to fight against xenophobia, thanks to Zebda. Our generation (20 to 30 years old) did not know the war but still the original song is really moving, so Zebda's song is great but not as much as "le chant des partisans"...
