Demain Il Pleut

Guerilla Poubelle's song "Demain Il Pleut" is a raw and poignant exploration of disillusionment, existential angst, and societal critique. The lyrics paint a picture of a world where hope seems futile, and the future is bleak. The opening lines, "A quoi ça sère on est tous mort / A quoi tu sers je t'aime encore," set the tone for the song, expressing a sense of futility and lost love. The repeated refrain, "Je m'emmerde / Demain il pleut," underscores a pervasive sense of boredom and the inevitability of a gloomy tomorrow.

The song delves into themes of political disillusionment and personal despair. Lines like "Chez moi j'vote pas / J'suis pas chez toi y fait trop froid" and "J'ai perdu mon drapeau / J'crois plutôt qu'j'l'ai brûlé" reflect a rejection of nationalistic and political symbols, suggesting a deep-seated frustration with the current state of affairs. The mention of burning the flag and forgetting its sacredness indicates a loss of faith in traditional values and institutions.

Guerilla Poubelle also critiques the superficiality and emptiness of modern life. The lyrics, "Y'a tellement rien à dire / Obligé de mentir / Y'a tellement rien à faire / Obligé d'avoir l'air," highlight the emptiness of social interactions and the pressure to conform. The song's imagery of a city where "tous les hommes sont pluvieux" and "tous les chiens sont boiteux" evokes a sense of decay and desolation. The final verses imagine a different world, one where people could build, create, and liberate, but ultimately return to the refrain of boredom and impending rain, reinforcing the song's overarching theme of disillusionment.

"Demain Il Pleut" is a powerful commentary on the struggles of modern existence, capturing the frustration, boredom, and yearning for something more meaningful in a world that often feels devoid of purpose.
