Fais Les Backs Lyrics in English Casseurs Flowters , OrelSan, Gringe

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Fais Les Backs by Casseurs Flowters from French to English.
You've almost lost all your points
And you only fill the reserve when you fill up
When they talk about the future, you say you don't know sh*t
You're paranoid, not even sure your buddies like you
Your girl keeps yelling "Hands up, hands up"
Because you still jerk off like a schoolboy
The further you go, the more you slip back, dodging's what you know best
You crash in the bar car to ride the train for free
Do you wear the same clothes you sleep in
Do you still pick the line where the cashier's the hottest
When the neighbor yells, do you crank the sound louder
Do your couch and your whale body merge
No exercise for years, for years
Smoke break on the stairs, on the first landing
If you set the alarm two minutes before it's time to work
If you're out of sync, off beat, lost, off track
And you'll do great things once you've found which ones
You didn't write the story but you still know it
Do the backs, do the backs
Do the backs, do the backs
Do the backs, do the backs
Do the backs, do the backs
Do the backs, do the backs
So crank the volume and do the backs
Don't give a f*ck about being dishonest
You walk past but never open your mailbox
If you pour another drink to kill yesterday's hangover
Binary chats, primitive thoughts
If it goes off the rails even when she's just a friend
Two minutes after you've f*cked her, the magic's gone
You live by the motto "Not seen, not caught"
Overdrawn at the bank, you can't even afford free stuff
You forget what people tell you in a second
You can't breakdance but you jump in the circle anyway
You can't stand being teased, it often ends in fights
You swing first, right after you say sorry
When she tries to turn you on, you try to dodge her
Because you've still got one week left before you get tested
You never lie but you don't really tell the truth
You're busted, it's over, it's wrapped up, R.I.P
And you'll do great things once you've found which ones
You didn't write the story but you still know it
Do the backs, do the backs
Do the backs, do the backs
Do the backs, do the backs
Do the backs, do the backs
Do the backs, do the backs
So crank the volume and do the backs
If you're always in everything that screws up
And normal people think you're weird
You already know the whole story
So crank the volume and do the backs
Horny porn flick, deficient best friend
You call your family every ten years
Crazy psychotropics, end of the night, sobering up
You don't know we've changed President
Need to destroy yourself to feel alive
Diet based on triangle sandwiches
Every night of the week, it's the third half
Slippery ground, scary fate
And you'll do great things once you've found which ones
You didn't write the story but you still know it
Do the backs, do the backs
Do the backs, do the backs
Do the backs, do the backs
Do the backs, do the backs
Do the backs, do the backs
So crank the volume and do the backs

SONG MEANING

Fais les Backs is a tongue-in-cheek portrait of the ultimate procrastinator. OrelSan and Gringe fire off a long list of everyday fails: dodging train tickets, living on triangle sandwiches, ignoring bank letters, and hitting snooze until the last possible second. Line after line, they tease a character who keeps saying he will do “great things” once he figures out what those things are, yet meanwhile drifts through life in a haze of cheap thrills, paranoia, and half-hearted excuses.

The repeated cry “Fais les backs” ("do the backing vocals") works like a friendly slap. It tells the listener, If you recognize yourself in this mess, stay in the background and just hype the chorus until you finally level up. Behind the humor lies a sharp social commentary on underachievement and self-sabotage, wrapped in catchy beats that make you want to turn up the volume even while you laugh at the bitter truth.
