Everything's stuck, boredom

I got nothing to tell you

I think I need a vacation

To get out of this

Not even sure it'll do the job

Uh huh

I close my eyes

I see myself like in a movie

I drive aimlessly through the valley

A little too fast

Not even sure I'll see the end

Uh huh

But don't tell anyone

Nobody, nobody

But I'm leaving, I quit

But don't tell anyone

Nobody, nobody

But I'm leaving, I quit

The dice are cast

It's now or never for me

Take it or leave it

It's now or never for me

But I'm off, I'm off

I'm not coming back

I'm off, I'm off

Don't wait for me

I'm off, I'm off

I'm not coming back

I'm off, I'm off

Don't wait for me

Sometimes I'm scared of failing

Of hitting a wall

I just need the guts

Or the stature

I got stuff to prove

Yeah hey hey

I got stuff to prove, yeah hey hey

I know that without failure

There's no adventure

That we can write it all again

In a whisper

I got stuff to prove

Yeah hey hey

But don't tell anyone

Nobody, nobody

But I'm leaving, I quit

I'm off, I quit

But don't tell anyone

Nobody, nobody

But I'm leaving, I quit

I'm off, I quit

The dice are cast

It's now or never for me

Take it or leave it

It's now or never for me

But I'm off, I'm off

I'm not coming back

I'm off, I'm off

Don't wait for me

I'm off, I'm off

I'm not coming back

I'm off, I'm off

Don't wait for me

But don't tell anyone

Nobody, nobody

Nothing holds me down anymore

I'm off, not looking back

And I wait for the alarm to ring

I'm off, can't find myself

The dice are cast

It's now or never for me

Take it or leave it

It's now or never for me

But I'm off, I'm off

I'm not coming back

I'm off, I'm off

Don't wait for me

I'm off, I'm off

I'm not coming back

I'm off, I'm off

Don't wait for me

SONG MEANING

"J'me Barre" literally means "I'm outta here!"

Adé paints the picture of feeling trapped in monotony: boredom, blank conversations, and a life that has hit pause. She daydreams about speeding through a valley with no destination, keeping her plan a secret while repeating her rallying cry "j'me barre". The chorus is an instant ear-worm that captures the rush of handing in your resignation, slamming the door on the ordinary, and betting on yourself.

Behind the adrenaline, the French singer admits to doubt—fear of crashing, questions about courage, a need to prove something. Still, she knows that without risk there is no adventure. With the dice now cast, it is now or never. The song becomes an anthem for anyone ready to cut loose, rewrite their story, and race toward the unknown without looking back.
