The translation is okay but there are a few things here and there that are either lost in translation because of cultural differences or slightly mistranslated. Now, while I'm sure Orelsan agrees with a great deal of what he's saying in this song, not everything is to be taken literally because he was trying to put himself in the shoes of someone who's fed up with this world and who's contemplating suicide. It's basically a character, not everything that is said in this song aligns with his actual views on things.

Yeah, that's Orelsan for you. One of the best french rapper. Just listen to all he's done, mostly masterpieces! And as stated before, he does not think all of what is said (i do reckon he still agrees with a lot he said, but not all, he was just playing the guy that's about to commit suicide)
Hi Uncle D, 🌴🌞 Of course, it's a pamphlet, but not only that. If we interpret the words correctly, he's angry with the whole world.

TBF, It's not a song about all that's going bad in our world and the direction we take right now (the song is old now). It's about hatred and personnal vision we have of ourself. The song goes to tap-in "we hate all the same things", and goes on point we can agree/disagree, and being blind hate on people that don't deserve hate. He's in a spiral because of his hatred. He loose more and more of his humanity the more the song goes on till he loose everything and can't even bear his own existence.
Thank you so much for naming Ren i didn't knew ! i'm french and already knew this Orelsan masterpiece ! thank you ( i usualy don't watch react video, but you do it good)
Like some other comments said, in this song Orelsan plays a guy who is angry against every part of society, so he write a letter to insult them all before killing himself. Orelsan is a rapper who succeeded despite being not from Paris or Marseille and doing rap in his own unique way, too different from this time's standards. His whole journey is told in a documentary series made by his brother who filmed him his whole life. To see how he evolved through the years i recommend : - Changement - Peur de l'échec - ils sont cools (casseurs flowters) - Basique - peon (vald feat Orelsan) - l'odeur de l'essence He also directed and played in a movie that tells his story with his friend gringe (they have a really silly and fun rap duo together : casseurs flowters) and there also are 120 2min long episodes of a funny show with Orelsan and Gringe and the concept is simple: two unemployed guys sat on their couch who says dumb shit. So you have a lot to explore if you like Orelsan !
This song is a banger amongst many other from OrelSan as it transpires his authenticity. The majority of them is worth listening to to grasp the essence of his bright’s personality.. am a forever fan 🤘🏻
La traduction est pas mal mais par exemple la traduction de banlieue par suburb ne fonctionne pas, particulièrement pour les Américains où suburb désigne les cartiers remplis de maisons avec la petite parcelle de pelouse à l'écart de la ville, où vivent surtout la classe moyenne ou les riches. La bonne traduction aurait été hood
Cette chanson matche bien avec Basique "Si tu vois des problème, c'est que le problème c'est toi". Ça reste une bonne chanson de Ras le bol mais étrangement je trouve "Je suis" de Big Flo et Oli plus inspiré dans le même registre
The translation captured the meaning perfectly. Of course a few cultural references (only a few, really ^^) are lost in the process but the whole is faithful to who Orelsan is, a great artist, and a very smart guy ! If French were THE international language, Orelsan would be as famous as Eminem. To my mind, he's the best french rap songwriter ever (and in France, we have a tradition of great rap songwriters. Sometimes, we even compare the best of them to poets) ... Kiss from France 😘
A genius that isn’t enought read! He deserves to be more known. He does’nt discover mathematics equations but he knows how to resume many issues in the world and put it in a good song with good rythm ! Good job to the unknown translator, because never in a thousand year the youtube translator can do a good job like that.
La partie la plus importante de cette chanson, c'est le coup de feu à la fin. Si tu la prends littéralement, c'est parce que tu l'as mal comprise. Le coup de feu signifie que tu te suicide parce que tu enfermes les gens dans tes cases, et que tu les réduits à des opinions trop tranchées. Les gens sont plus que des cases. Il faut pas penser comme ça, parce que c'est un "suicide social" pour toi comme pour la société en général. L'essentialisation est une erreur. Orelsan l'a expliqué plein de fois ;). The most important part of this song is the fireshot in the end. If you take it litteraly, then you didn't understand it. This fireshot means that thinking that way is a suicide because you trap people in small cases and reduce them to that. Your opinions ends up too caricatural. Peoples are more than small cases. Don't think that way because it is a social suicide for you and for society in general. Essentializing people is a mistake. Orelsan explained it many times ;).
As a french guy the translation was alright, there where a few shortcuts here and there like: "fdj= française des jeux" they translated it into french lottery, it's basically the same but it's a nationwide known brand. They did that cuz it's simpler, anyways i totally agree with you D on your comments about the video i've been watching you for a couple days/weeks love the vibes you're awesome😉❤
Sauf qu'il est passé complètement à côté du sens de la chanson. Il se réjouis de pouvoir bavarder 3h de chaque sujets évoqués. Il a raté le fait que ces sujets de succèdent et tournent dans un spirale, spirale dans un enchainement de haine que le personnage finit par retourner contre lui-même. La spirale est représentée sur l'écran, dans le sens d'écriture qui pivote régulièrement à 90°. Se resserre de plus en plus. Et à la fin on entends le coups de feu, on voit la balle transpercer, "suicide" est le 1er mot dans le titre. C'est clairement explicite, ça demande juste un pas de recul pour comprendre. Et c'est ça l'intérêt dans cette chanson.
11:58 that’s true, as long as you don’t risk your life by going in what someone else considers the wrong bathroom :( It’s amazing to see you gradually fall in love with our dear little Orel’ , I loved watching your 3 videos about him 😊
Ohh yes, in France, we also know Tom McDonald and Ren!!! I love them both. Orelsan is a great writer. I love "L'odeur de l'essence". You should check it out !!! More over, not only the song, but the clip too is great !!!! Love to you, and you all !!!! 🕊🤍🪽
Hi @Reactions by D and friends 👋 French here How comes YOU of anyone is bringing this song to me, beats me ! I'm not into rap, maybe i'm a little too old, but trying to keep 'up to date' in the musical tendancies... As pointed out in other comments, some of his rant is lost in translation, but most of it is shining thru. The translator is not at fault, that is really translating the ideas, just some stuff are cultural, very specific to France, and therefore can't be translated in real time, one would need a memoire to explain some single sentence statements 😅 I stand by 'the translation is as good as one could be' ! As for the rant itself, he figuratively points his finger everywhere it hurts, with nothing or next to nothing to complain about, that is truth if anything ever was. I've almost completely withdrew myself from 'civilisation' in 2011, i thought for personal reasons, but now i have this words to explain, and i feel my reasons were not as personal today. So strange this comes to me now, just after what is probably the worst day in the history of USA, when supremacist groups, religious leaders and finance gurus are winning the right to destroy 1 of the 2 fundamental texts of your laws, in fact the main pillar, the Constitution, the other 1 being the Declaration of Independance, the bedrock of your laws, at stakes too because your new leader is openly 'for sale'. Weird how words can save or destroy, depending on who talks and who listens ! Hoping this comment will find you and your followers in good health, optimistics, and wishing the best for all of you human beings 🖖
C'est le fils illégitime de Trust et de Diams ? 😆 Je fais une allergie foudroyante au rap en général mais là, je suis scotché par l'écriture ( et en plus je comprend ce qu'il dit 😅) ... Du coup j'ai bien envie d'en écouter plus.
C'est dommage cette allergie car il y a dans le rap énormément d'artistes qui écrivent réellement bien et dont les morceaux valent vraiment une écoute. Leurs thèmes peuvent être parfois très similaires à ceux des rapeurs que vous n'aimez pas, mais ils les abordent avec une réelle patte et selon moi, certains sont de vrais magiciens de la langue française
You should really listen to the whole Orelsan's discography, wild poetry + crazy punchline, one of the best writter of his generation, always pinning terrible truth with so much emotion in his voice, or roleplaying the characters he created through his songs.
Masterpiece exactly. Even if he is a successful artist he is underrated. I love Orelsan's state of mind modesty and the real definition of to be french.
In french there is obviously à lot of subtilties, plays with words and impact in choices of words. But, you got it for essential. It's like read and re-read and re-re-read a poem to got all you can get
im french 29 years old and Orel-san has been there with his music since i was an adolescent and im still listening to it he has done a lot of different work and yeah for me its the french Eminem , funny things is that i think he got a lot of influence from Eminem when you listen to "Perdu d'avance" its some freaking good old shit for me
He is a Franch rapper from normandie, he shot that video (and others ) in normandie. He also has a documentary about his career on Prime (second season show how he made his new album during covid).
Ce que j'aime dans cette chanson c'est que tout le monde en prend dans la figure, y compris nous même. Il attaque toutes les personnes et institutions qui merdent complètement. On ressent une énorme haine et bizarrement, à la fin de la chanson je ressens comme un gros soulagement, une libération, et du coup je me sens en paix. Au final ce n'est pas vraiment de la haine mais plus un exutoire pour relâcher la pression. Cette chanson est effectivement une oeuvre d'art. Si tu veux un autre rapeur qui balance des grosses claques de vérité je te conseilles d'écouter Keny Arkana (une rappeuse). - Ordre Mondial. - Hé connard. - La mère des enfants perdus. - V pour Vérité. - Odyssey d'une incomprise. - Ils ont peur de la liberté. - Victoria. - L'usine à adulte. Etc etc etc etc En vrai écoute toutes ses chansons. J'aime 95% de ces chansons dont plusieurs me font pleurer tellement c'est profond. C'est la meilleure rappeuse de France. La plupart des rappeurs le reconnaissent. Elle est loin au dessus.
I know Orelsan but I discovered this one at the same time as you ! Orelsan is one of the most beautiful musical talents in my opinion. If you liked it... I advise you to discover other songs from his repertoire! As for me, I would advise you to listen to the song "rentrez chez vous" by BigFlo & Oli... it's upsetting I think...
This song portays a character who's fed up with everything. I think many things come from what Orelsan thinks or thought at the time but pushed to an extreme. In real life he's a more moderate guy. A talented one.
7:10 Well, to be honnest, orelsan tell he didn't understand how people could think he really think what he wrote. everyone is attacked by this song, because it's the story of a man (a character) that gonna do a mistake, a big mistake to say the least. "l'odeur de l'essence" surely is much more near of what he think ... and much more recent too.
I'm French, and the most impressive thing about his song is that it lasts 5min40 and he doesn't stop singing while only having rhymes on each line of his text (impossible to realize this with the translation). 5min40 (!!!) from a letter from a suicidal man who hates the world
i love your energy man ! and the fact that that you are talking about the world situation without putting any country in a box, any of the things Orelsan talked about in that song prolly is a thing in every contry that exist.. sadly.
This is the first time a guy is able to tell so much truth in such a short time, unbelievable! And the cherry on the cake is that he is Belgian, the only country where you can say whatever you want without ever being heard lol
Hoping this comment gets seen, indeed he is playing a character and he's a genius writer. For the story of it, from Orel's words himself, he inspired from Edward Norton's character in 25th hour. The guy knows that's in 24 hours he'll be in jail for the next 12 years or so. So there's a scene he's looking at himself in the mirror and saying "farewell this, goodbye that" talking honestly about everything and everyone that he hates in society. That's Orelsan's inspiration. But the artist is not conveying his own thoughts and opinions in there, he just did what he does best, writing excellent lyrics. Listen to "la petite marchande de porte clef". Now that's militant.
Ça date mais elle est toujours autant d’actualité. Merci pour ce partage. Je t’invite pour la prochaine à écouter le même artiste avec la chanson « défaite de famille », c’est bien plus fun 😂
This song was realesed in 2012 😅 I would not say he is the french Tom McDonald, but yeah this song is a freacking masterpiece. He has been compared to Eminem multiple times, first because he's white in a black music genre, but mostly because of his provocative and humoristic lyrics Orelsan said once that the lyrics are inspired by the movie 25th Hour with Edward Norton. There is a scene when the guy talks to himself in a miror, and during 5 minutes dissing everybody in the entire world 😂
Orelsan is beyond his characters. He isn't the guy of this song hating everything, he is the one writing and performing it to show how being so negative leads to self destruction. He tends to think everything he is expressing here, but not at the same level nor for the same reasons and goals. For instance he is way more against alt right than against wokism, but mainly attacks wokes at same level as fascists because he is picturing someone hating everything, plus he knows they'll make a lot of buzz online, which coming from them is great publicity. Through his interviews (and his private life) he shows being against any discrimination, any toxic human exploitation, and any system generating it. If you're against wokes you'll likely face some internal conflicts by enjoying Orelsan, because he is one of them. XD
j'écoutais ce sons quand j'avais 8 ans grâce a mes grand frère jetait hype par le clip je comprenais pas réellement les paroles mais je les connaissais par cœur
This song explodes like bomb in your face... It's about all the hatred in this unfair world, it's about our inner contradictions because we are in some ways victims/ guilty of the system we're putting in, that can be frustrated to live with all those paradoxes and you are aware of that, this can turn into a rage against the system, a system who generates eternely winners/loosers
I mean good that you think it still apply to our world, it really shows his timeless ability, this song is like from a decade ago. you should listen to l'odeur de l'essence, a song of his, similar to this one, but from 2021.

The song goes to tap-in "we hate all the same things", and goes on point we can agree/disagree, and being blind hate on people that don't deserve hate. He's in a spiral because of his hatred.
He loose more and more of his humanity the more the song goes on till he loose everything and can't even bear his own existence.
Thank you so much for naming Ren i didn't knew ! i'm french and already knew this Orelsan masterpiece ! thank you ( i usualy don't watch react video, but you do it good)
Like some other comments said, in this song Orelsan plays a guy who is angry against every part of society, so he write a letter to insult them all before killing himself.
Orelsan is a rapper who succeeded despite being not from Paris or Marseille and doing rap in his own unique way, too different from this time's standards. His whole journey is told in a documentary series made by his brother who filmed him his whole life.
To see how he evolved through the years i recommend :
- Changement
- Peur de l'échec
- ils sont cools (casseurs flowters)
- Basique
- peon (vald feat Orelsan)
- l'odeur de l'essence
He also directed and played in a movie that tells his story with his friend gringe (they have a really silly and fun rap duo together : casseurs flowters) and there also are 120 2min long episodes of a funny show with Orelsan and Gringe and the concept is simple: two unemployed guys sat on their couch who says dumb shit.
So you have a lot to explore if you like Orelsan !
This song is a banger amongst many other from OrelSan as it transpires his authenticity. The majority of them is worth listening to to grasp the essence of his bright’s personality.. am a forever fan 🤘🏻
The english translation is pretty much accurate, of course you're missing some rhymes but the message is there.
La traduction est pas mal mais par exemple la traduction de banlieue par suburb ne fonctionne pas, particulièrement pour les Américains où suburb désigne les cartiers remplis de maisons avec la petite parcelle de pelouse à l'écart de la ville, où vivent surtout la classe moyenne ou les riches.
La bonne traduction aurait été hood
@@damienb_unique et Josephine ange gardien, m'étonnerait qu'ils aient la réf ;)
Ça vaaaaa , ça chipote mdr 😅
En fait ce son a été inspiré du monologue d'Edward Norton dans le film La 25ème Heure
Cette chanson matche bien avec Basique "Si tu vois des problème, c'est que le problème c'est toi". Ça reste une bonne chanson de Ras le bol mais étrangement je trouve "Je suis" de Big Flo et Oli plus inspiré dans le même registre
You can look his movie named "Inachevé" it's very good if you like his work.
Un bonjour de France, j'aime beaucoup ce que tu fais ! :)
6:19 "Il est génie, il est incroyable" tout est dit merci
13 ans que je l'écoute et a chaque fois la même claque c est ce qu'on appel un classique
The translation captured the meaning perfectly. Of course a few cultural references (only a few, really ^^) are lost in the process but the whole is faithful to who Orelsan is, a great artist, and a very smart guy !
If French were THE international language, Orelsan would be as famous as Eminem. To my mind, he's the best french rap songwriter ever (and in France, we have a tradition of great rap songwriters. Sometimes, we even compare the best of them to poets)
... Kiss from France 😘
"The french Eminem" Yeah, definitly ! This guy is really good in his art !
A genius that isn’t enought read! He deserves to be more known. He does’nt discover mathematics equations but he knows how to resume many issues in the world and put it in a good song with good rythm ! Good job to the unknown translator, because never in a thousand year the youtube translator can do a good job like that.
@@204Dj it's big star in France
La partie la plus importante de cette chanson, c'est le coup de feu à la fin. Si tu la prends littéralement, c'est parce que tu l'as mal comprise. Le coup de feu signifie que tu te suicide parce que tu enfermes les gens dans tes cases, et que tu les réduits à des opinions trop tranchées. Les gens sont plus que des cases. Il faut pas penser comme ça, parce que c'est un "suicide social" pour toi comme pour la société en général. L'essentialisation est une erreur.
Orelsan l'a expliqué plein de fois ;).
The most important part of this song is the fireshot in the end. If you take it litteraly, then you didn't understand it. This fireshot means that thinking that way is a suicide because you trap people in small cases and reduce them to that. Your opinions ends up too caricatural. Peoples are more than small cases. Don't think that way because it is a social suicide for you and for society in general. Essentializing people is a mistake.
Orelsan explained it many times ;).
As a french guy the translation was alright, there where a few shortcuts here and there like: "fdj= française des jeux" they translated it into french lottery, it's basically the same but it's a nationwide known brand. They did that cuz it's simpler, anyways i totally agree with you D on your comments about the video i've been watching you for a couple days/weeks love the vibes you're awesome😉❤
Sauf qu'il est passé complètement à côté du sens de la chanson.
Il se réjouis de pouvoir bavarder 3h de chaque sujets évoqués. Il a raté le fait que ces sujets de succèdent et tournent dans un spirale, spirale dans un enchainement de haine que le personnage finit par retourner contre lui-même.
La spirale est représentée sur l'écran, dans le sens d'écriture qui pivote régulièrement à 90°. Se resserre de plus en plus. Et à la fin on entends le coups de feu, on voit la balle transpercer, "suicide" est le 1er mot dans le titre.
C'est clairement explicite, ça demande juste un pas de recul pour comprendre. Et c'est ça l'intérêt dans cette chanson.
11:58 that’s true, as long as you don’t risk your life by going in what someone else considers the wrong bathroom :(
It’s amazing to see you gradually fall in love with our dear little Orel’ , I loved watching your 3 videos about him 😊
Au la vache. Je viens de découvrir cette chanson sur ta vidéo. Elle claque. ❤
Ohh yes, in France, we also know Tom McDonald and Ren!!! I love them both. Orelsan is a great writer. I love "L'odeur de l'essence". You should check it out !!! More over, not only the song, but the clip too is great !!!! Love to you, and you all !!!! 🕊🤍🪽
My favorite song by Orelsan is "Notes pour trop tard"
Hi @Reactions by D and friends 👋 French here
How comes YOU of anyone is bringing this song to me, beats me ! I'm not into rap, maybe i'm a little too old, but trying to keep 'up to date' in the musical tendancies...
As pointed out in other comments, some of his rant is lost in translation, but most of it is shining thru. The translator is not at fault, that is really translating the ideas, just some stuff are cultural, very specific to France, and therefore can't be translated in real time, one would need a memoire to explain some single sentence statements 😅 I stand by 'the translation is as good as one could be' !
As for the rant itself, he figuratively points his finger everywhere it hurts, with nothing or next to nothing to complain about, that is truth if anything ever was.
I've almost completely withdrew myself from 'civilisation' in 2011, i thought for personal reasons, but now i have this words to explain, and i feel my reasons were not as personal today.
So strange this comes to me now, just after what is probably the worst day in the history of USA, when supremacist groups, religious leaders and finance gurus are winning the right to destroy 1 of the 2 fundamental texts of your laws, in fact the main pillar, the Constitution, the other 1 being the Declaration of Independance, the bedrock of your laws, at stakes too because your new leader is openly 'for sale'.
Weird how words can save or destroy, depending on who talks and who listens !
Hoping this comment will find you and your followers in good health, optimistics, and wishing the best for all of you human beings 🖖
C'est le fils illégitime de Trust et de Diams ? 😆
Je fais une allergie foudroyante au rap en général mais là, je suis scotché par l'écriture ( et en plus je comprend ce qu'il dit 😅) ... Du coup j'ai bien envie d'en écouter plus.
Le pouvoir d'Orelsan
Si t'es vieu, ca peu te faire penser a Hexagone de Renaud aussi :)
C'est dommage cette allergie car il y a dans le rap énormément d'artistes qui écrivent réellement bien et dont les morceaux valent vraiment une écoute.
Leurs thèmes peuvent être parfois très similaires à ceux des rapeurs que vous n'aimez pas, mais ils les abordent avec une réelle patte et selon moi, certains sont de vrais magiciens de la langue française
Essai dooz kawa .. si tu aimes orelsan tu ne pourras qu'apprécier dooz et ses fabuleux thèmes.
Glad you loved it ! You can go with any of his songs :D they are quite all like this one.
Yes, as you said this is a masterpiece
You should really listen to the whole Orelsan's discography, wild poetry + crazy punchline, one of the best writter of his generation, always pinning terrible truth with so much emotion in his voice, or roleplaying the characters he created through his songs.
L’odeur de l’essence pour moi c’est la meilleure, même si cette chanson est une des plus belles claques que j’ai pris dans le rap français.
You can listen "Paradis" from him. It's a beautiful one about the woman he loves. It's totally different of this one 😉
Amazon made a documentary in two seasons about orelsan ; "ORELSAN : Montre jamais ça à personne"
Masterpiece exactly.
Even if he is a successful artist he is underrated.
I love Orelsan's state of mind modesty and the real definition of to be french.
In french there is obviously à lot of subtilties, plays with words and impact in choices of words. But, you got it for essential. It's like read and re-read and re-re-read a poem to got all you can get
im french 29 years old and Orel-san has been there with his music since i was an adolescent and im still listening to it he has done a lot of different work and yeah for me its the french Eminem , funny things is that i think he got a lot of influence from Eminem when you listen to "Perdu d'avance" its some freaking good old shit for me
He is a Franch rapper from normandie, he shot that video (and others ) in normandie. He also has a documentary about his career on Prime (second season show how he made his new album during covid).
J'avais oublié à quel point cette chanson est incroyable et le flow continue qu'il tient pendant près de 6 minutes. Une vraie petite pépite d'Orel
"The smell of gazoline" is your next orel song ;)
I love Orelsan, always superb, very impactful texts.
from Orelsan, i love "Des histoires à raconter" and "San"
"This is the French Tom MacDonald!" said as a compliment stings even worse than if this was supposed to be an insult...
very good comparison!
Enjoyed you liked it 😊
Cette montée en puissance et en son de l'apathie à l'explosion : 🤯
yes it's the French Eminen
Best lyrics ever... Hope u enjoyed this Orelsan masterclass, more nervous punchline after puchline! My favourite rap song ever ✌
Tu viens de te prendre une claque, comme nous toutes/tous quand nous l'avons entendu pour la première fois !
Yes it’s the French Eminem! And the accuracy of his lyrics and the veracity of it is stunning
love this song, everything he says is true
Now you have to hear about L'Odeur de l'essence, Manifeste and Paradis
Thanks for your reactions
Merci pour votre réaction. Continuez à découvrir Orelsan. Alain from Normandy, in 🇫🇷
That's French rap and expression liberty ❤ listen kerry James, davodka, hugo tsr ❤😘 thanks for your listen maybe an another french in your playlist?
Another music by Orelsan to recommend to you : "Orelsan - Défaite de famille"
Orelsan a real artist with real words ! 😁🔥
Tellement d'énergie dans cette chanson et tellement de vérité dans ses lyrics.
Je suis content que quelquun l'ait fait découvrir hors de France.
I'm French and yes I call him French Eminem, this guy is awesome, I can recommand you his band with friend of him named Casseur Flowers.
yeah he's our rap man thank yo had listen !
Ce que j'aime dans cette chanson c'est que tout le monde en prend dans la figure, y compris nous même. Il attaque toutes les personnes et institutions qui merdent complètement. On ressent une énorme haine et bizarrement, à la fin de la chanson je ressens comme un gros soulagement, une libération, et du coup je me sens en paix. Au final ce n'est pas vraiment de la haine mais plus un exutoire pour relâcher la pression. Cette chanson est effectivement une oeuvre d'art.
Si tu veux un autre rapeur qui balance des grosses claques de vérité je te conseilles d'écouter Keny Arkana (une rappeuse).
- Ordre Mondial.
- Hé connard.
- La mère des enfants perdus.
- V pour Vérité.
- Odyssey d'une incomprise.
- Ils ont peur de la liberté.
- Victoria.
- L'usine à adulte.
Etc etc etc etc
En vrai écoute toutes ses chansons. J'aime 95% de ces chansons dont plusieurs me font pleurer tellement c'est profond. C'est la meilleure rappeuse de France. La plupart des rappeurs le reconnaissent. Elle est loin au dessus.
I know Orelsan but I discovered this one at the same time as you ! Orelsan is one of the most beautiful musical talents in my opinion. If you liked it... I advise you to discover other songs from his repertoire! As for me, I would advise you to listen to the song "rentrez chez vous" by BigFlo & Oli... it's upsetting I think...
This song portays a character who's fed up with everything. I think many things come from what Orelsan thinks or thought at the time but pushed to an extreme. In real life he's a more moderate guy. A talented one.
7:10 Well, to be honnest, orelsan tell he didn't understand how people could think he really think what he wrote.
everyone is attacked by this song, because it's the story of a man (a character) that gonna do a mistake, a big mistake to say the least.
"l'odeur de l'essence" surely is much more near of what he think ... and much more recent too.
Yeah Orelsan is a really a genius.
You should listen « L’odeur de l’essence » it’s in his last disc
In a interview, he said he was inspired by a scene from the 25th hour ( by Spike Lee).
Une de ses meilleures chansons clairement ❤
Si c'est ça le rap game ce doit être le Boss de fin.. 🤔
I'm French, and the most impressive thing about his song is that it lasts 5min40 and he doesn't stop singing while only having rhymes on each line of his text (impossible to realize this with the translation).
5min40 (!!!) from a letter from a suicidal man who hates the world
i love your energy man ! and the fact that that you are talking about the world situation without putting any country in a box, any of the things Orelsan talked about in that song prolly is a thing in every contry that exist.. sadly.
This is the first time a guy is able to tell so much truth in such a short time, unbelievable! And the cherry on the cake is that he is Belgian, the only country where you can say whatever you want without ever being heard lol
No this is not like a other rapper
This is Orelsan !
Hoping this comment gets seen, indeed he is playing a character and he's a genius writer. For the story of it, from Orel's words himself, he inspired from Edward Norton's character in 25th hour. The guy knows that's in 24 hours he'll be in jail for the next 12 years or so. So there's a scene he's looking at himself in the mirror and saying "farewell this, goodbye that" talking honestly about everything and everyone that he hates in society. That's Orelsan's inspiration. But the artist is not conveying his own thoughts and opinions in there, he just did what he does best, writing excellent lyrics. Listen to "la petite marchande de porte clef". Now that's militant.
Ça date mais elle est toujours autant d’actualité. Merci pour ce partage. Je t’invite pour la prochaine à écouter le même artiste avec la chanson « défaite de famille », c’est bien plus fun 😂
This song was realesed in 2012 😅
I would not say he is the french Tom McDonald, but yeah this song is a freacking masterpiece. He has been compared to Eminem multiple times, first because he's white in a black music genre, but mostly because of his provocative and humoristic lyrics
Orelsan said once that the lyrics are inspired by the movie 25th Hour with Edward Norton. There is a scene when the guy talks to himself in a miror, and during 5 minutes dissing everybody in the entire world 😂
le meilleur morceau d'Orelsan , si je peux me permettre de proposer il y aurait également le morceau " Fahrenheit 451 " du groupe 1984 feat VII ...
That's what depression and desperation does to a human brain, yep. Hopelessness, and nothing seems worth saving.
Orelsan is beyond his characters. He isn't the guy of this song hating everything, he is the one writing and performing it to show how being so negative leads to self destruction. He tends to think everything he is expressing here, but not at the same level nor for the same reasons and goals. For instance he is way more against alt right than against wokism, but mainly attacks wokes at same level as fascists because he is picturing someone hating everything, plus he knows they'll make a lot of buzz online, which coming from them is great publicity.
Through his interviews (and his private life) he shows being against any discrimination, any toxic human exploitation, and any system generating it. If you're against wokes you'll likely face some internal conflicts by enjoying Orelsan, because he is one of them. XD
If you want to hear an "updated" version of this, "l'odeur de l'essence" on his last album is pretty nice
Ce morceau est une pépite. C'est l'histoire d'un mec qui crache toute sa haine avant de se suicider
That french accent is so nice :o
You will probably like

Released 13 years ago and still revelant to this day.
j'écoutais ce sons quand j'avais 8 ans grâce a mes grand frère jetait hype par le clip je comprenais pas réellement les paroles mais je les connaissais par cœur
Inspired by Norton's tirade in 25th Hour
The song is old
But always accurate today, in 2024 🙃
This song explodes like bomb in your face... It's about all the hatred in this unfair world, it's about our inner contradictions because we are in some ways victims/ guilty of the system we're putting in, that can be frustrated to live with all those paradoxes and you are aware of that, this can turn into a rage against the system, a system who generates eternely winners/loosers
I mean good that you think it still apply to our world, it really shows his timeless ability, this song is like from a decade ago. you should listen to l'odeur de l'essence, a song of his, similar to this one, but from 2021.
