What does ‘Au Pays du Cocaine’ actually mean?
“You can change, you can change” is repeated unremittingly, as the song’s narrator pleads for his partner to stay despite their newfound differences.
The infantilising melody, captured in the song’s music video, perfectly depicts someone unwilling to let things change as they should.
The melancholic track lulls indie and rock beautifully together, gearing listeners to a world already lost through lenses tinted with nostalgia.
Although it may be a call for isolation and adventure, it may also be a wish for someone to fail on their journey, or to end up somewhere like ‘Au Pays du Cocaine’.
