LYRICS (FR)
[Couplet 1]
L'amour est comme l'oiseau de Twitter
On est bleu de lui, seulement pour 48 heures
D'abord on s'affilie, ensuite on se follow
On en devient fêlé, et on finit solo
Prends garde à toi
Et à tous ceux qui vous like
Les sourires en plastique sont souvent des coups d’hashtag
Prends garde à toi
Ah les amis, les potes ou les followers
Vous faites erreur, vous avez juste la cote
[Refrain]
Prends garde à toi
Si tu t’aimes
Garde à moi
Si je m’aime
Garde à nous, garde à eux, garde à vous
Et puis chacun pour soi
Et c’est comme ça qu’on s’aime, s’aime, s’aime, s’aime
Comme ça, consomme, somme, somme, somme, somme
Et c’est comme ça qu’on s’aime, s’aime, s’aime, s’aime
Comme ça, consomme, somme, somme, somme, somme
Et c’est comme ça qu’on s’aime, s’aime, s’aime, s’aime
Comme ça consomme, somme, somme, somme, somme
Et c’est comme ça qu’on s’aime, s’aime, s’aime, s’aime
Comme ça consomme, somme, somme, somme, somme
[Couplet 2]
L’amour est enfant de la consommation
Il voudra toujours toujours toujours plus de choix
Voulez voulez-vous des sentiments tombés du camion ?
L’offre et la demande pour unique et seule loi
Prends garde à toi
"Mais j’en connais déjà les dangers, moi
J’ai gardé mon ticket et, s’il le faut, j’vais l’échanger, moi
Prends garde à toi
Et, s’il le faut, j’irai m’venger moi
Cet oiseau d’malheur, j’le mets en cage
J’le fais chanter, moi"
[Refrain]
Prends garde à toi
Si tu t’aimes
Garde à moi
Si je m’aime
Garde à nous, garde à eux, garde à vous
Et puis chacun pour soi
Et c’est comme ça qu’on s’aime, s’aime, s’aime, s’aime
Comme ça, consomme, somme, somme, somme, somme
Et c’est comme ça qu’on s’aime, s’aime, s’aime, s’aime
Comme ça, consomme, somme, somme, somme, somme
Et c’est comme ça qu’on s’aime, s’aime, s’aime, s’aime
Comme ça consomme, somme, somme, somme, somme
Et c’est comme ça qu’on s’aime, s’aime, s’aime, s’aime
Comme ça consomme, somme, somme, somme, somme
[Outro]
Un jour t’achètes, un jour tu aimes
Un jour tu jettes, mais un jour tu payes
Un jour tu verras, on s’aimera
Mais avant on crèvera tous, comme des rats

Each time, the ideas he comes up with are just so out of the box. He never fails to amaze me.

I love that the Twitter bird's beak is animated to sync with the beat. It really represents that background, incoherent, omnipresent noise of social media. That it looks so damned angry all the time suggests most of that noise is rage. Amazing little touch.

[@AnnSpecter]

Same! I also had a weird theory that in the beginning when the Twitter bird opened its beak, it was sometimes happy or sometimes angry. As it would represents the times when person using the twitter would ‘tweet’ their thoughts to the public both with positive or negative thoughts. But as time progresses, the twitter bird most of the time just open its beak in a angry like manner as it could mean that the person is getting very negative most of the time.

One of my fav Stromae songs

[@kapu_seru]

For all the English people, in the French chorus, they say: "Et c'est comme ça qu'on s'aime, s'aime, s'aime" And that's how we love, love, love " C'est comme ça qu'on consomme, 'somme 'somme" That's how we buy, buy, buy. But Stromae is so a genius that, in French the "That's how we buy" the "buy" that is "consomme" in French, the last two syllables ("somme") continues to echoes, and "somme" also means "are". So in the original chorus, with the auditory illusion, it sounds like: "C'est comme ça qu'on somme (que nous somme) " So basically, "that's how we are" Sorry if it's bad written, I'm not the best at English.

[@brianlynch4016]

This might be realistic to his own experience. The way famous people (with thousands and thousands of followers) experience social media can be radically different from the way the average person experiences it. Most research points to social media making us more connected rather than less connected but that doesn't mean all relationships on social media are rich, many can feel just as hollow, like the people who we friended because they went to high school with us but haven't communicated with in 10 years. Stromae may seek personal connection but as a public figure social media doesn't really make it easier to make connections because he might constantly be bombarded with tweets. I do think he tries to make a broader statement as the video goes on. I'm not sure it necessarily hits the mark though.

dude i freaking love the message of this video. how the obsession of social media can can control our actions, relationship, etc the song was amazing and the animator did a stunning job

[@DevilBlackDeath]

Yeah being leftovers. It's kinda sad to see all these people sharing a constant flow of pictures on Twitter or Instagram just by the impression that it makes their life more interesting. I'm a computer scientist and a huge gamer, but I've taken a huge step back from taking pictures, I'd rather live the moment than immortalize something I've not lived fully anyway. Social networks have completely overstepped their purpose, and it's not even on them, it's on their users. The technology itself isn't bad and makes some good thing (sharing with distant relatives, organizing and keping up to date with news on what you like) but people have made it integral to their life to the point it might as well be stitched to them. There's also the reaction to the little girl that is interesting. At the beginning she's out of the system, she doesn't have an account or a device, and no care is given to her by the "social bird", she doesn't deserve to be even considered.

Actually, ''crever comme un rat'' (to die like a rat, with ''crever'' being a vulgar ''to die'') is a french idiom meaning ''to die without anyone caring about you'', with the undertone of the person not being even worth a look from its surrounding (much like a rat dying in the street). Hope I could help making this part even worse ! (Unless you guys already knew this, that is. Anyway, sorry if there is any grammar mistakes, English isn't my first language.)
