**“C’est La Vie” bursts in with a carousel of questions: What is beauty? What is truth? Why do wrinkles appear? Over a joyful “dam-dam” chant, MIKA pokes at life’s biggest mysteries the way a curious child might tug at loose threads. Each verse stacks contrasting images—rain and sunshine, roses and war-torn Lebanon, youth and aging—to show that life is a wild collage of sweet scents and sharp edges. The repeated French phrase c’est la vie (that’s life) works like a shrug and a smile at the same time, reminding us that confusion, sorrow, and delight all belong in the same picture.
By the chorus, the song stops worrying and starts celebrating. MIKA’s solution to uncertainty is simple: let your head keep blooming and dance. Even death is invited to the party, since flowers can grow again after they wither. The music’s upbeat pulse turns the philosophical into the playful, urging listeners to face life without fear, lock the negatives away, and paint every moment with bold color. In short, “C’est La Vie” is a glitter-covered pep talk that says, “Life is messy, so spin with it—petals, wrinkles, questions and all.”
