It looks blurry when I look back

But I could redo, redo, redo everything

Life's short, every day reminds us

Let me redo, redo, redo everything

To make my dream come true, I didn't know how

I had no clue

One day I told my mom, "I'm going to the end of the earth

Then I'll come back"

I'm gonna chase the light, promise, you'll be proud

Of who I become

I was just an earthling, I wanted to see the universe

No, I had nothing special

Forget your dreams, that's not rational

What d'you think?

That you could do better than me?

That you'll do better than your dad?

Life's a maze, where's the exit?

Don't try to reassure me, I think it's even worse

My body screams on the way, few roses, lots of nettles

Why does everything always seem impossible?

Lack of confidence isn't an incurable disease

You have a nice dream and the wake-up is brutal

Eyes wide open in your bed at 5 a.m

You feel like the whole world wants to hurt you

Yeah, life's like that, you know, it doesn't surprise me

One day you win the war, another you lose the fight

I was so hungry I could've bitten the world

Life's only a few thousand seconds

It looks blurry when I look back

But I could redo, redo, redo everything

Life's short, every day reminds us

Let me redo, redo, redo everything

My dreams were too heavy to carry

But whatever, I wanna touch them

All those years I looked for myself

At the foot of the walls of my projects

They said, "Nej, it's not worth it"

But I don't know, I wanted it too much

So I went to get them

The emptiness echoes in the room

There was nobody, I sang in the dark

You know, I shed tears

And for many, that's just a detail

Zero luggage, building C, on the 3rd floor

I wrote pages and pages

Enough to make it my story

I wanted to remake the world from my tower

I met failure on my road

Thanks to the rose and the thorns

Now I know my shoulders are solid

Dad, look at me, I'm filling hearts, I'm filling halls

My poupiyas by my side make me shine like a star

It looks blurry when I look back

But I could redo, redo, redo everything

Life's short, every day reminds us

Let me redo, redo, redo everything

I hadn't even gone round my block

When I already wanted to tour, false start

One day full of hope, the next day depressed in the eyes

I had the flame, enough to wipe them all out

I wanted to craft works of art before even knowing how to draw

I wanted to leave the trap, too much in a hurry to wait my turn

In Toulouse with Nej' when we lost the contests

I rapped loud on the bus, my dreams of glory a cappella

And it drove me even more when I saw they didn't believe

Mind of titanium, I chose with my heart

Ready to fold everything if my familia comes with me

I'd taken the stairs, I heard them in the elevator

I knew it was the right choice the day it broke down

You're looking for the hero of the story

But from the start, it was you

Because it's in the darkest nights

That the stars shine brighter

You're looking for the hero of the story

But from the start, it was you

Because it's in the darkest nights

That the stars shine brighter

It looks blurry when I look back

But I could redo, redo, redo everything

Life's short, every day reminds us

Let me redo, redo, redo everything

It looks blurry when I look back

But I could redo, redo, redo everything

Life's short, every day reminds us

Let me redo, redo, redo everything

SONG MEANING

Tout Recommencer is an uplifting conversation between dreamers who refuse to be caged by doubt. Nej’, joined by the ever–optimistic Bigflo & Oli, rewinds the tape of their lives to show how unclear beginnings, empty pockets and sleepless nights can still lead to bright spotlights. Every “tout recommencer” (start all over) is a reminder that life is short, so why not chase the impossible, book a one–way ticket across the world, rap in a bus, or sing alone in a dark room until the echoes feel like an audience?

The song turns setbacks into fuel: family worries, lost competitions and harsh self-questioning are presented as stepping-stones rather than obstacles. With a beat that pushes forward and lyrics packed with vivid images – “few roses, lots of nettles,” “life is only a few thousand seconds” – the artists invite us to become the hero of our own story. By the final chorus, the message is clear: you can always press reset, believe harder and shine brighter, because stars are seen best on the darkest nights.
