Millénaire

Nuttea's song 'Millénaire' is a contemplative piece that delves into the hopes, disillusionments, and societal reflections surrounding the turn of the millennium. The refrain, repeated twice, sets the tone by asking for good resolutions and reasons to celebrate the new millennium. This plea for meaningful change is a central theme throughout the song, highlighting a collective desire for progress and improvement as humanity steps into a new era.

The verses feature contributions from various artists, each bringing their unique perspective. Nuttea starts by pointing out that despite the excitement of the year 2000, the fundamental issues remain unchanged. He uses the metaphor of 'carottes de l'an 2000' (carrots of the year 2000) to symbolize the false promises and illusions that accompany the new millennium. Vasquez Lusi's verse adds a layer of irony, describing a night of celebration that ultimately feels hollow and repetitive, questioning whether anything has truly changed.

Disiz la Peste and Jalane further explore the theme of disillusionment. Disiz criticizes the superficiality of New Year's resolutions and the idea that a new date can bring about real peace. Jalane echoes this sentiment, emphasizing that the end of the century brings no real mystery or change, just a blank slate with the same old traps. Taïro and Faf Larage's verses touch on the materialistic and self-centered nature of modern happiness, questioning the true meaning of progress and fulfillment. They highlight the persistent issues of inequality and selfishness, suggesting that real change requires more than just a new calendar year.

' Millénaire' is a thought-provoking song that challenges listeners to reflect on their own lives and the broader societal issues as they step into a new era. It calls for genuine resolutions and meaningful change, rather than superficial celebrations and empty promises.
