En Route Vers Le Futur Lyrics in English by Indochine
Vertiges translates to "vertigo" or "dizziness." It's a more evocative and less common word than simple terms for feeling lightheaded, suggesting a profound sense of disorientation or exhilaration.
In the context of "En Route Vers Le Futur," the line "À nous les nouveau vertiges" (To us the new vertigos) implies embracing new, perhaps overwhelming, experiences and sensations as they journey into the future. It captures the excitement and slight apprehension of stepping into the unknown, making it a compelling word choice.
Indochine's "En Route Vers Le Futur" is all about leaving the past behind and embracing what's next. The lyrics, "En route vers le futur moi, je suis prêt pour toi" (On the way to the future, I am ready for you) and "Le passé n'existe plus, les souvenirs ont disparu" (The past no longer exists, memories have disappeared), really drive home this idea of a fresh start. It's like the singer is tired of old stories and the way things used to be, saying, "Je suis las, oui des contes anciens" (I am tired, yes, of ancient tales) and "Je suis las du monde à la fin" (I am tired of the world in the end).
This song feels like a call to adventure, a desire to move forward with someone special. Lines like "Prends-moi la nuit encore une fois / Avec un nouveau cerveau" (Take me for the night one more time / With a new brain) and "On partira à l'aventure, vers des nouveaux futurs" (We will go on an adventure, towards new futures) show a longing for new experiences and a willingness to ignore what's coming, as in "Et ignorer notre avenir" (And ignore our future). It's a really cool anthem for anyone ready to dive headfirst into the unknown, celebrating new beginnings and the thrill of the present moment: "On est dans la vie maintenant / On marchera devant" (We are in life now / We will walk ahead).
