BLUES

A2H's song 'BLUES' is a raw and poignant exploration of despair, disillusionment, and the struggles of modern life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man grappling with deep emotional turmoil, societal decay, and personal loss. The repeated refrain 'Bébé, j'suis dans l'blues' (Baby, I'm in the blues) underscores a pervasive sense of sadness and hopelessness that permeates the entire song. This refrain acts as a grounding point, continually bringing the listener back to the central theme of the blues—a state of emotional and existential crisis.

The song delves into various aspects of the protagonist's life, from his interactions with friends and family to his observations of the world around him. He describes a world that is 'louche' (shady) and 'pourri' (rotten), reflecting a deep-seated cynicism and mistrust. The mention of substance abuse, both his own and that of those around him, highlights a coping mechanism for dealing with the harsh realities of life. The lyrics 'J'ai arrêté la dope' (I stopped the dope) and 'J'ai pris un quart de Lexo'' (I took a quarter of Lexo) reveal a struggle to find stability and peace in a chaotic environment.

A2H also touches on themes of violence and loss, with lines like 'J'vais m'exploser la face, pendre un politique' (I'm going to blow my face off, hang a politician) and 'Depuis qu'un frère s'est cané' (Since a brother died). These lines convey a sense of anger and frustration with the state of the world, as well as a deep personal grief. The song's narrative is interspersed with moments of introspection and vulnerability, such as when he speaks to his sister and mother, admitting his blues and seeking some form of solace or understanding. Through 'BLUES,' A2H offers a candid and unflinching look at the struggles of navigating a world that often feels overwhelming and unforgiving.
