Packing and unpacking a metaphorical backpack, Vianney and iconic singer Renaud invite us on a soul-searching road trip. They stare at a world that is both “immense and sublime,” wrestle with ego, and wonder if chasing fame or a long life is worth the hassle. Along the way, they poke fun at humanity’s mirror maze: we start off young and obedient, end up fossils, and spend half the journey asking, “Is planning for tomorrow genius or pointless?”
The chorus lands like a friendly slap: stop counting candles, start living better now. Parenthood, climate worries, and generational friction all raise the stakes, but the remedy stays simple—cherish the moment, love people fiercely, ditch regrets, and let go of the dream of merely getting old. In the end, the song is a bright reminder that happiness is not about owning more years, it is about squeezing every drop out of the minutes we already have.
