Alphabetical

Thanks for the music.

I love how strange these lyrics are given that it's such a beautiful and lightly sad song. It almost seems like some things were lost in translation considering they're French, but yet their other lyrics tend to be very coherent.

The best part is when he says "everybody says I shouldn't mess with you no more"...so direct and a little heartbreaking after all that odd stuff about 'files being deleted' and 'being recruited by someone.'

I have to agree that it seems like something important has been lost in translation, but actually I quite like that, and I often find myself wondering what on earth it's all about.

The only vaguely coherent theory I have is that it's some kind of matrix-style science fiction story, where the narrator has been cast out as a renegade: his file has been deleted. However he expects to be recruited to a band of rebels? Maybe ... or maybe not.

Then again, maybe it's not supposed to be a story at all, but perhaps an expression of the more typical emotions of rejection, alienation, confusion, and embattled hope. The 'alphabetical' concept could perhaps be expressing the arbitrariness of life: success or failure in work and in love does not always seem deserved, but you have to keep hoping the next opportunity comes around soon.

this song is so beautiful

this song is so beautiful

Well, it seems something is missing on translation, but not sure, I can find a great meaning of this song:

"Everybody knows that it really doesn't matter at all All the good things that I've done I'm up against the wall How come My file has been deleted"

Well, it looks like something missed here, but not sure. It seems he means that all the good things he deed doesn't matter, for any reason. He's against anyone. All the good things he did has deleted.

"If this is what they want I can tell you that the order's alphabetical Don't you get it, sooner or later I'll be recruited by someone"

After-crisis of a broken heart. Or, perhaps it can be a broken heart that try to show what he's okay. "Don't you get it, sooner or later I'll be recruited by someone". I think he means that he lost her, but he'll find another girl so he ain't feels sad. Which, as I said, may show for a broken heart, or an after-crisis of a broken heart.

"Everybody knows that it really doesn't matter at all Everybody says I shouldn't mess with you no more If you see me on my own Drive on"

Here it seems he do love her, but he knows she don't. And he don't wants her to mercy him. And if she sees him on his own, ignore.

"If I were dismissed I would've gotten much more If I wasn't that kind I wouldn't care at all Sooner or later Sooner or later Sooner or later I'll change my whole perspective"

This makes me confused a bit. "if I were dismissed"? Now, it's like he's saying, that he broke up with her. And not her with him.

"Isn't it better? Sooner or later Sooner or later Sooner or later I'll change my whole perspective I'll be recruited by someone"

Isn't it better? Sooner or later, I'll find my way, my girl. You'll find your way, your guy.

Amazing words, amazing music, amazing song.
