[Intro] [Verse 1]   Did you ever read Albert Camus?   The bit about how you got to turn away from the world to understand it Did you feel this too? I was in a mindless kind of queue        But then I went and put myself right out Found things just got a bit wilder [Chorus]   Haven’t you heard right?   It’s a truly absurd life   Tomorrow you could be a big hole And the next day you could be a king Can’t return to my old ways   When the nothingness held up the days   And now come to think of it I only got out of bed for you       [Verse 2]   I used to think nothing of the end   Repeating each day was my forte Spinning out time like a spider with a web Devouring every second I was fed         But then I went and sailed right out got lost Found things just got a bit lighter [Chorus] Haven’t you heard love?   It’s a truly absurd love   Tomorrow you could be a big kiss And the next day you could be a stone Can’t return to my old lives   Quite oblivious to all of the signs   And now come to think of it I only got out of bed for you      [Bridge] Invited to the feast Only had one grape Always arrived ahead of time But turned out I was late I can see now the world does not care That is okay with me So I never needed a boat to sail out to the sea [Chorus] Haven’t you heard right?   It’s a truly absurd life   Tomorrow you could be a big hole And the next day you could be a king Can’t return to my old ways   When the nothingness held up the days   And now come to think of it I only got out of bed for you Haven’t you heard love?   It’s a truly absurd love   Tomorrow you could be a big kiss And the next day you could be a stone Can’t return to my old lives   Quite oblivious to all of the signs   And now come to think of it I only got out of bed for you

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque la quête de sens dans un monde souvent absurde, comme le suggère la réflexion d'Albert Camus. L'artiste parle de la nécessité de se détourner des conventions et de sortir de sa zone de confort pour véritablement comprendre la vie. Il exprime l'idée que tout peut changer en un clin d'œil, oscillant entre des extrêmes, de la vacuité à des moments d'euphorie. Le narrateur se remémore une période où il vivait en pilote automatique, répétant les mêmes gestes sans réfléchir. Puis, il découvre que faire face à l'absurde, à la légèreté et à l'amour lui permet de redéfinir sa réalité. Au fond, tout cela se résume à la douce folie de l'amour, qui semble être la seule raison valable de quitter son lit chaque matin. C'est dans ce contraste entre l'ordinaire et l'extraordinaire que se trouve la beauté de l'existence.
