Plus rien Lyrics (English Translation) – OrelSan

Plus rien (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1: OrelSan]
Here, OrelSan is describing a deep sense of emptiness and confusion. He feels disconnected from people and from life itself, as if something important inside him has gone missing. The “five strings missing on the guitar” shows that nothing feels complete or right anymore. Even when surrounded by people, he feels alone and misunderstood, like he doesn’t fit into the world’s rhythm. He’s emotionally flat, not excited or sad, just stuck in the middle — “lukewarm.” Things that used to catch his interest don’t reach him anymore. He compares his numbness to hitting “CTRL-Z,” undoing every experience before it even matters. His mind drifts through noise and voices, but he doesn’t really engage. Even his actions feel aimless, and the strange images, like being chased by a giant cockroach, express how anxiety and emptiness constantly follow him wherever he goes.

[Chorus: Lilas]
This part feels like being trapped in a frozen world where nothing brings warmth or hope. The singer can’t breathe under the weight of despair and sees the future collapsing before their eyes. Everything that once felt bright or alive has disappeared, even dreams. The repeated “I don’t feel anything anymore” shows complete emotional exhaustion. It’s like reaching out in darkness, trying to touch something real but finding only shadows and silence. The voice is pleading to rediscover what life or emotion feels like, but it’s already gone numb.

[Verse 2: OrelSan]
Here, OrelSan continues to explore his disconnection and self-doubt. He feels like his life is an incomplete puzzle, missing crucial parts that make sense of everything. He’s frustrated with society’s expectations and prefers being alone because trying to fit in feels pointless. Comparing himself to a deer caught in headlights shows his fear and vulnerability — frozen, exposed, and unsure where to go. He feels invisible and hollow, as if he’s made of nothing. The coldness he describes is both physical and emotional, representing the pain of feeling nothing at all. Even the thought of hurting himself seems like a desperate attempt just to feel something again. But in the end, he’s detached — nothing around him affects him anymore, like he’s no longer fully human.

[Chorus: Lilas]
The freezing atmosphere continues, symbolizing total loss and hopelessness. The singer feels suffocated by life and unable to find direction. The world around them is falling apart, and even though they try to fight it, everything feels fake and meaningless. There’s nowhere left to run, and even struggling feels pointless. The repetition of “I don’t feel anything anymore” highlights that emotional deadness has completely taken over. The night sinking suggests being swallowed by darkness, both literally and mentally, as the person keeps searching for any trace of feeling or purpose that might still exist.

[Outro: OrelSan]
At the end, OrelSan looks back at his childhood dreams. He once imagined fame and success would bring happiness, and those dreams actually came true. But now that he has everything he wanted, it doesn’t bring him joy anymore. It’s a sad realization that even reaching your goals can feel empty when you’ve lost your connection to yourself and your emotions.
