C'est La Vie

Weathers' song 'C'est La Vie' delves into the complexities and unpredictability of life, capturing the essence of the phrase 'such is life.' The lyrics paint a picture of a person who feels like they are constantly battling against the odds, symbolized by the 'kid in the rain' and the repeated failures despite their efforts. The line 'Celebrate the insane' suggests a sense of embracing the chaos and unpredictability that life throws at us, even when things don't go as planned.

The chorus, with its repeated refrain of 'C'est la vie,' underscores a resigned acceptance of life's ups and downs. The singer expresses a longing for euphoria, a state of intense happiness that seems elusive. This is contrasted with the feeling of hysteria, which leaves them feeling lonely and disconnected. The use of confetti, typically associated with celebration, juxtaposes the singer's internal struggle, highlighting the irony of celebrating when they feel they have 'hit bottom already.'

The song also touches on themes of societal greed and the desire for a fresh start. The line 'We don't get what we need, we're all wrapped up in greed' reflects a critique of modern society's materialistic tendencies. The wish to 'press restart' indicates a desire to escape the darkness and start anew, yet the acceptance of 'that's just life' suggests a recognition that these struggles are an inherent part of the human experience. Through its introspective lyrics and catchy melody, 'C'est La Vie' by Weathers captures the bittersweet reality of navigating life's unpredictable journey.
