Hors Piste Lyrics in English Poupie

Home / Lyrics Translation / Poupie / Hors Piste

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Hors Piste by Poupie from French to English.

Can't see the road two meters away

I'm picking up speed without thinking

Seriously, I was this close

to making a sensible decision

I don't like hearing "maybe" anymore

or "probably", or "if ever"

I'll think about it later

only once it's over

There's too many people rushing

who'd want to pressure you

just 'cause they got broken

parts, pieces during the mission

But you're in the passenger seat

I don't have a license at the wheel

I told you I'm just passing through

but I don't allow myself that much

I took the longest road

to get there without rushing

My free will is my shadow

so I guard it like a treasure

Can't see the road two meters away

I pick up speed in my mind

I'll think about it later

only once it's over

I'm just passing through and I know it

that's why I've tightened the ties

Do you know how much you love me

are you sure it's certain

Can't see the road two meters away

and if I could see a hundred meters ahead

not sure I'd have done all this

I'd rather not know what's waiting for me

in case I wouldn't like it

Besides, nobody knows what's waiting

but we make plans anyway

just in case our lives

won't boil down to memes

Can't see the road a meter away

Hey, I think I'll never give in

I'm not gonna slow my quest

even if it's starting to lean

Know how to lose but want to win

End up shot, lose my head

go through the worst but heal

I saw hope in parties

I saw the story in my head

it's all blurry but so neat

Can't see the road a meter away

I lost everything but I won

Can't see the road a meter away

I lost everything but I won

Can't see the road two meters away

SONG MEANING

Imagine hurtling down a mountain road so misty you can barely see two meters in front of you. That thrill of uncertainty is the heartbeat of “Hors Piste,” where Spanish-born artist Poupie swaps the safety of well-worn paths for the rush of the unknown. She invites us into the passenger seat, confessing she has no license at the wheel, yet she is determined to set her own speed. Every lyric is a snapshot of carefree acceleration, dodging the constant “maybe” and “what if” that others try to impose.

Under the neon lights of her metaphorical road trip, Poupie celebrates free will as her most precious treasure. She refuses to slow down for fear, outside expectations, or the crash stories of those who gave up mid-mission. Even when the horizon blurs and she “loses everything,” she finds victory in the very act of choosing her route. The song is an anthem for anyone ready to loosen the seatbelt of certainty, embrace spontaneity, and trust that getting a little lost can be the fastest way to self-discovery.
