SONG MEANING

Des Horizons Des Péages plunges us into a feverish carousel where everything flows: blood, money, and restless crowds surge through veins, pipelines, and shopping aisles alike. Laruda stacks vivid snapshots of modern life—battlefields being cleaned up, pipelines pumping profit, consumer aisles promising “happiness in a bottle,” and the famous May ’68 slogan « Sous les pavés la plage » floating like a half-forgotten dream. The song’s first waves are a critique of a world driven by greed, war, and over-consumption, painting a chaotic galaxy where hope seems buried in the hourglass sand.

Yet amid the turbulence, the singer’s inner voice hushes the noise and begins to dream. Repeating lines such as “Je me dis que le temps est long” and “Je rêve d’horizons sans péages,” Laruda longs for toll-free horizons, new seasons, fresh faces, songs, and even storms—anything that feels real and alive. This second movement turns the track into a hopeful rebellion: a call to break out of our “golden prisons,” rediscover courage, and chase a world where neither roads nor imaginations come with a price tag.
