In the song, Orelsan sings that «l'avenir appartient à ceux qui se lèvent à l'heure où je me couche» ("the future belongs to those who wake up when I go to sleep"), which is a reference to the French proverb «L'avenir appartient à ceux qui se lèvent tôt» (roughly translated as "the early bird catches the worm"). The line suggests that he and Gringe have no futures, because they go to bed so late (at a time when one would usually be waking up).
