Cramé

Cyclope L'héritier's song "Cramé" delves into the chaotic and often tumultuous life of a young person navigating the urban landscape. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a lifestyle marked by substance use, self-reflection, and a sense of being overwhelmed by the pressures of city life. The repeated references to being "pété sous cannabis" and "pété sous cheese" suggest a reliance on substances as a means of escape or coping mechanism. This is further emphasized by the feeling of being "cramé," or burnt out, which reflects a state of exhaustion and disillusionment.

The song also touches on themes of self-reliance and resilience. The artist mentions having "ramé," or rowed, to achieve his current status, indicating a journey of self-made success despite the challenges faced. This is juxtaposed with the sense of being constantly analyzed and judged by others, as seen in the line "J'sens l'regard qui m'analyse." This scrutiny adds to the pressure and stress experienced by the protagonist, contributing to the overall sense of being trapped in a cycle of stress and self-destruction.

Cultural references and slang are prevalent throughout the song, adding authenticity and grounding the narrative in a specific urban context. The mention of "Poutine" and "Boussif" adds a layer of cultural commentary, perhaps alluding to figures of power and strength. The use of French street slang and colloquial expressions further immerses the listener in the world Cyclope L'héritier is describing, making the song a raw and honest portrayal of life on the edge in a modern city.
