ODYSSEE Lyrics in English Fard
Odyssee translates to "Odyssey", referring to a long, eventful, and adventurous journey. It's a word that evokes a sense of epic struggle and self-discovery.
In the song, Fard uses "Odyssee" to describe his life's tumultuous path, from his youth in the streets to his rise as a rapper. He sees his journey as a personal odyssey, filled with challenges, growth, and a constant search for meaning, making it a central theme of the track.
"Odyssee" is Fard looking back over his own life story, from a cocky thirteen-year-old in new Nikes to the rapper he became, and finding that none of it made the loneliness go away.
The verses move through real chapters: childhood streets and first girlfriends, the twin towers falling when he was eighteen, friends who ended up in prison or died too young, and parents growing older while he was busy chasing fame. Fame itself gets no romance here. He is blunt that the money, the girls and the hype never filled the gap underneath.
The chorus borrows the language of Homer's Odyssey: drifting far out at sea, carrying too much ballast to sink, navigating only by the stars because there is no one left to ask for directions. That image of being completely alone, even while surrounded by everything he once wanted, is the real subject of the song.
