Sur Ma Route

Black M's song 'Sur Ma Route' is a poignant reflection on the journey of life, filled with trials, tribulations, and moments of doubt. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a life lived on the road, metaphorically representing the ups and downs that everyone faces. The phrase 'une vie de roots' suggests a raw, unfiltered existence, where the singer encounters numerous obstacles and hardships. This life of 'roots' is one where the singer has to constantly adapt and survive, often without the luxury of stability or comfort.

The song delves into the emotional and psychological struggles that come with such a journey. Black M speaks of moments of doubt and uncertainty, walking without knowing where he is headed. The lack of financial security ('dans ma poche, pas un sou') and the reliance on family highlight the vulnerability and resilience required to navigate life's challenges. The lyrics also touch on the theme of isolation, noting that when one hits rock bottom, there are few people to turn to, emphasizing the importance of family and the fleeting nature of friendships.

'On m'a fait des coups en douce' and 'mon cœur en souffre' reveal the betrayals and emotional pain that the singer has endured. Despite these hardships, there is a sense of perseverance and acceptance. The imagery of a 'pirate naufragé' (shipwrecked pirate) with a damaged crew symbolizes the singer's resilience and determination to keep moving forward, even when everything seems lost. The song ultimately conveys a message of enduring strength and the relentless pursuit of one's path, no matter how difficult it may be.
