Envole-moi (feat. Tal)

In 'Envole-moi,' M. Pokora and Tal deliver a powerful anthem of yearning and escape. The song opens with a vivid depiction of a desolate urban landscape, where midnight brings silence and darkness, masking the ugliness and decay. This setting serves as a metaphor for the oppressive environment the protagonists find themselves in, one marked by ignorance, violence, and monotony. The night, while offering temporary concealment, also symbolizes the pervasive sense of hopelessness that envelops their lives.

The lyrics express a deep desire to break free from these constraints. Tal's verse highlights the lack of choice in their circumstances, born into a world of ignorance and violence. Yet, there is a resolute promise to escape, even if it means using 'legal means.' This determination is echoed in the chorus, where the repeated plea to 'Envole-moi' (Fly me away) underscores the desperation to leave behind the fatalistic reality that clings to them. The call for new horizons and words signifies a longing for a different life, filled with possibilities and hope.

M. Pokora's verse further emphasizes the rigged nature of their existence, where the rules are set, but the game is unfair. The harshness of their environment is likened to an unending winter or a scorching summer, with no respite in sight. The shared sentiment of not choosing to live in such conditions and the vow to overcome them through education ('a coup de livres') reflects a belief in self-improvement and the power of knowledge. The song culminates in a fervent appeal to be taken away, to see lives that are not resigned to their fate, and to break free from the cycle of submission, fear, and abandonment. 'Envole-moi' is a poignant expression of the universal desire for a better life and the courage to pursue it against all odds.
