“Le Pire” dives into GIMS’s troubled mind as he flips through grim news on TV and wonders why the world feels so upside down. The Congolese-French artist sings that the real tragedy is not open cruelty, but the silence of bystanders who pretend to hesitate while doing nothing. With a bittersweet image — telling kids the sea is salty because “the fish have cried too much” — he highlights how hard it is to explain injustice to the next generation.
Across the track, GIMS calls out hypocrisy (people preaching morals in luxury fur coats), economic gaps, and our collective loss of direction. He admits feeling invisible unless he does something extreme, then warns that the worst is forgetting to live and recognize what is happening around us. “Le Pire” is both a personal confession and a wake-up call, urging listeners to break the silence, reclaim empathy, and make the most of the time we still have.
