flemme — laziness / apathy

Flemme is a very common French slang word for laziness or apathy. It's often used in the expression "avoir la flemme" which means "to not feel like doing something" or "to be too lazy to do something."

In the song, Nekfeu uses it to describe the daily grind: "On sèche les cours, la flemme marque le quotidien" (We skip classes, laziness marks daily life). It perfectly captures a feeling of youthful indifference and a lack of motivation that many can relate to, making it an engaging and authentic word choice.

“On Verra” feels like a late-night metro ride through the mind of a Parisian dreamer. Nekfeu flips between youthful recklessness and deep reflection: he skips classes, crashes house parties, and repeats “rien à foutre de rien” (“couldn’t care about anything”)… yet he also worries about money, injustice, and the puzzle piece still missing in his life. The chorus — “On verra bien, vas-y viens, on n’y pense pas” (“We’ll see, come on, let’s not think about it”) — captures that push-and-pull between anxiety about tomorrow and the urge to live right now.

Along the way he paints a vivid snapshot of modern French youth: chatting online instead of meeting up, stealing out of boredom, dodging police raids, and measuring success by viral fame rather than Martin Luther King’s ideals. Behind the swagger sits a hopeful message: even if the world is chaotic, keep the curiosity of a “rêveur” (dreamer), protect your friends, and trust that the future will figure itself out. Like a carefree mantra sung from a rooftop at 2 a.m., “On Verra” invites listeners to breathe, laugh at life’s mess, and keep moving forward — one beat, one verse, one uncertain tomorrow at a time.
