Imagine hurtling down a mountain road so misty you can barely see two meters in front of you. That thrill of uncertainty is the heartbeat of “Hors Piste,” where Spanish-born artist Poupie swaps the safety of well-worn paths for the rush of the unknown. She invites us into the passenger seat, confessing she has no license at the wheel, yet she is determined to set her own speed. Every lyric is a snapshot of carefree acceleration, dodging the constant “maybe” and “what if” that others try to impose.
Under the neon lights of her metaphorical road trip, Poupie celebrates free will as her most precious treasure. She refuses to slow down for fear, outside expectations, or the crash stories of those who gave up mid-mission. Even when the horizon blurs and she “loses everything,” she finds victory in the very act of choosing her route. The song is an anthem for anyone ready to loosen the seatbelt of certainty, embrace spontaneity, and trust that getting a little lost can be the fastest way to self-discovery.
