Picture yourself on the platform, waiting for the very last train. The city hums, memories echo off the tiled walls, and Kendji Girac with GIMS turns that moment into a soulful confession. The lyrics talk about letting go of pride, dropping the rear-view mirror, and facing the future head-on. Each person carries a private weight (“À chacun son fardeau”), yet time keeps rolling, wiping old scars away. Over a catchy guitar hook and urban beat, the singers admit it is tough to silence the ego, but the only way forward is to start from zero and cruise without looking back.
The song blends nostalgia with hope: childhood feels close, but life sweeps those carefree days aside like dust on the platform. Still, there is a quiet optimism in the chant-like chorus—“Rouler sans rétro, repartir à zéro”—that invites us to shed our flaws, forgive ourselves, and hop on that last metro toward a fresh beginning. It is a bittersweet anthem for anyone ready to trade yesterday’s baggage for tomorrow’s possibilities while humming along to an irresistible “la-la-la.”
