“Monde Nouveau” paints a sun-drenched yet unsettling snapshot of our hyper-connected era. Feu! Chatterton drops us into a sweltering city where ice melts in cocktails, screens shower us with pixels, and everyone dreams of a shiny “new world.” The lyrics poke fun at how easily we chat with a “central server” while feeling powerless to fix the very planet that is overheating around us. Climate anxiety, digital overload, and a sense of collective bewilderment swirl together like an Aperol Spritz under a blazing sky.
Yet the song isn’t all doom and gloom. It ends with a simple, almost rebellious discovery: we can still use our hands for something real – hugging one another. In the face of technological burnout and environmental fears, the chorus reminds us that human touch and solidarity might be our most authentic tools for building that long-imagined “monde nouveau.”
