Éternité (feat. Nekfeu)
Jazzy Bazz
Chasing Eternity: A Journey Through Time and Legacy
In the song "Éternité (feat. Nekfeu)", Jazzy Bazz explores the profound themes of time, legacy, and the human desire to leave a lasting impact. The lyrics are rich with metaphors and vivid imagery, painting a picture of a man deeply aware of his mortality and the fleeting nature of life. The recurring line, "J'ai tous mes sens allumés, le son me permet d'planer" ("All my senses are lit, the sound allows me to soar"), suggests that music serves as an escape and a means to transcend the mundane aspects of existence.
Jazzy Bazz expresses a fear of things that are "trop bien alignées" ("too well-aligned"), except for the planets, indicating a discomfort with predictability and a preference for the natural, chaotic beauty of the universe. This sentiment is echoed in his contemplation of how to leave a mark, comparing it to the trajectory of comets—fleeting yet impactful. The song delves into the existential struggle of making one's life meaningful, with lines like "Quand t'as pas grand chose, tu partages, quand t'as rien, t'apprends à t'en passer" ("When you don't have much, you share, when you have nothing, you learn to do without").
The collaboration with Nekfeu adds another layer of introspection, as he reflects on the impermanence of life and the urgency to act now rather than later. The imagery of time as a weapon "braqué sur ma tête, comme une arme" ("pointed at my head, like a gun") underscores the pressure to make the most of every moment. Both artists emphasize the importance of seizing the present, with Nekfeu urging listeners to act immediately and not wait for a better time. The song concludes with a poignant desire to capture a moment of eternity, a fleeting instant that defies the relentless march of time.
"Éternité" is a contemplative piece that resonates with anyone who has ever pondered their place in the world and the legacy they will leave behind. It is a reminder of the beauty and fragility of life, urging us to live fully and authentically in the time we have.
