SONG MEANING

“L’Assasymphonie” is a wordplay that blends assassin and symphony, and the song feels exactly like that: a dramatic, nocturnal duel between dark thoughts and soaring melodies. Florent Mothe sings as a tortured artist who cannot sleep, stalked by a “killer symphony” in his mind. The lyrics paint a picture of insomnia, envy, and self-destruction: he resents lovers, fights the inner enemy that “fĂȘtes his defeats”, and drowns his fears in chaotic music. Every line swings between elegance and violence, turning his mental turmoil into a grand, if unsettling, musical performance.

At its core, the song is about jealousy and obsession. Inspired by the character of Salieri in Mozart, l’OpĂ©ra Rock, Mothe’s narrator feels talentless next to the brilliance he longs for, so he vows his nights to requiems, curses, and blasphemy. The “assasymphonie” becomes both weapon and refuge, a place where he can kill his phobias with dissonant chords while admitting that his own harmony “sounds false.” The result is a flamboyant confession of envy wrapped in theatrical rock, perfect for anyone who loves a bit of operatic drama with their angst.
