Ever dreamed of jet-setting around the globe, hopping from tropical islands to buzzing cities, meeting an endless parade of strangers? In "Les Humains," French indie-pop artist Voyou turns that fantasy on its head. The narrator has stamped every passport page, met “des grands, des tout petits” and watched entire crowds pulse with life, yet each dazzling sight only highlights a surprising truth: constant motion can feel like a cage when your heart is anchored at home.
Voyou playfully contrasts the thrill of discovery with the ache of missing “quelqu’un qui t’aime à la maison.” No matter how many faces flash by, only one face truly matters, and every arrival in a new time zone is just one more reminder of the distance from her. The song becomes a warm, bittersweet ode to love that outshines wanderlust, proving that amid “des humains de toute part,” the most extraordinary journey is choosing one person out of the crowd.
