I'm leaving town

Austere silence

Nothing guides me anymore

I stub out a cig

Now that we're even

I f*ck everything up

I love you like crazy

Probably a bit too much

Without wasting time

I pack my stuff

Like a G.I. Joe

I f*ck everything up

No, I don't have the guts

We're way too free

And we let it happen

The night

But were you sincere

Tell me, what's the point

Of writing you poems

That you don't read

But were you sincere

Tell me, what's the point

Of writing you poems

That you don't read

Were you there

I'm leaving town

Austere silence

I'm like an alien

A UFO

I often slip away

I f*ck it all up

When you're getting off

I let go

It's the rodeo

In an instant

Everything scatters

Bad gadjo

I f*ck everything up

When you're not the wisest

In Daumesnil district

We let it slide

The night

But were you sincere

Tell me, what's the point

Of writing you poems

That you don't read

But were you sincere

Tell me, what's the point

Of writing you poems

That you don't read

Were you there

I know the laugh

You make when you're sad

You know the void

That comes before vice

But were you sincere

Tell me, what's the point

Of writing you poems

That you don't read

Were you there

But, were you there

Were you there

SONG MEANING

Sincère places us right in the middle of a breakup gone nuclear. Cobalt’s narrator flees the city, crushes a cigarette, and declares Je fous tout en l'air—“I’m blowing everything up.” The song moves like a restless road trip: references to G.I. Joe, UFOs, and late-night rodeos underline how out-of-place and unanchored he feels. Over a moody beat, he grapples with total freedom that suddenly feels more frightening than thrilling, asking the one question that keeps looping in his mind: Were you ever sincere?

Beneath the rebellious energy lies raw vulnerability. The singer admits he loved “à la folie,” wrote poems that were never read, and even memorised the other person’s sad laugh. Each explosive line is paired with a quieter plea for honesty, showing that anger and heartbreak often share the same pulse. By the end, Sincère is less about escaping a city and more about escaping the doubt that lingers when love’s words and actions no longer match.
