My head's in the clouds

I smoked all the Cali

I'm often in a bad mood

Like I'm hit by a disease

Every one of my mistakes takes me further from heaven

I'm disappointed by humans

I dreamed of changing galaxies

That poor life? It's over, bro

Only fakes, that's done, real talk

I'm rolling with two-three soldiers on Avenue de la Grande Armée

Watch how a traitor ends

Only fakes, that's done, real talk

There's still a few determined brothers, soldiers of a big army

We fly Morocco-Algeria if tomorrow I'm sentenced

Bit by bit, Mama's getting old

I'm her dark side all year long

With time we heal

But the heart can't heal

I'm nine millimeters away from making him bleed out

Nobody steps on my honor, we ain't asleep

I dreamed of being a millionaire, I end up heart-broke

We pay the singer for the party when the guitar applauds

Jealousy drives you crazy

Whatever we say, people talk anyway

There's the full kit for war

Their names written in the planner

I'm like a criminal with insomnia

Nobody steps on my honor, we ain't asleep

Car from Italy, clothes by Dolce-Gabbana

I'll spend the winter in Asia, chilling in a cabana

Once we've done it I'll light a Havana

That's one enemy less

If I take the thing in hand

We don't know each other

If the cops come at six in the morning

I'm struggling bad

Too often wasted, the triple-filtered hit me

I roam in Villepinte, making bros

I dream of having the guard's keys

I arrive on foot

I leave in a Bentley, f*ck the court

We fly Morocco-Algeria if tomorrow I'm sentenced

Bit by bit, Mama's getting old

I'm her dark side all year long

With time we heal

But the heart can't heal

I'm nine millimeters away from making him bleed out

Nobody steps on my honor, we ain't asleep

I dreamed of being a millionaire, I end up heart-broke

We pay the singer for the party when the guitar applauds

Jealousy drives you crazy

Whatever we say, people talk anyway

There's the full kit for war

Their names written in the planner

I'm like a criminal with insomnia

Nobody steps on my honor, we ain't asleep

SONG MEANING

**"INSOMNIE" invites us into one of those restless, smoke-filled nights when the mind refuses to switch off. Maes floats between daydreams of million-dollar success and the harsh reality of street life, his head literally in the clouds after “fumer toute la Cali’.” From luxury brands and Italian cars to the concrete corners of Villepinte, he paints a life that is equal parts glamour and danger. The constant threat of betrayal keeps him on guard, a self-described “criminel atteint d’insomnie” who never lets anyone trample his honor.

Behind the flex and bravado, the song is surprisingly vulnerable. Maes worries about his aging mother, counts the emotional cost of every mistake, and admits that time may heal, but a wounded heart still bleeds. Talk of escaping to Morocco or Algeria shows his craving to leave the chaos behind, yet jealousy, gossip, and street vendettas keep pulling him back. In short, “INSOMNIE” is a nocturnal confession: a soundtrack for anyone juggling big dreams, bigger temptations, and the sleepless anxiety that comes with protecting both their wallet and their soul.
