Chaos Lyrics – Nusky

Chaos Lyrics Meaning

[Couplet Unique]
In this verse, Nusky describes his chaotic life and surroundings. He begins by mentioning the smell of weed and alcohol in his room, setting the tone for a messy and unstable atmosphere. The condensation on the window represents confusion or a foggy perspective on life, where things feel unclear. He acknowledges the constant struggles in the world, hinting at the global crisis that people talk about, yet he still tries to make people dance and enjoy the moment, pushing away the negativity.

He references singing with a cowboy, which might be a metaphor for diving into a carefree and rebellious attitude, doing what he wants regardless of the situation. There’s a sense of balance in the lyrics, as the person he sings about is able to walk on a tightrope between success and failure. To reach the top of fame or success, he says, you need to be fearless, suggesting that it’s hard to survive without becoming numb to the pressure. He talks about the need to smile for the camera, implying that everything might seem perfect on the outside, but it’s not real, like in movies.

Nusky comments on the dark side of the entertainment world and society, calling out the “rats” near the stage (perhaps people who take advantage of the situation) and mentioning racism in the media. He’s aware that things will eventually explode or fall apart, but for now, he’s focusing on enjoying the present moment—partying and having fun while he can. The line “Après la pluie, vient le beau temps” (After the rain, comes the good weather) offers some hope, suggesting that after hardship, things might get better, but then he pauses and talks about “fuites” (leaks), which could symbolize things falling apart or emotions spilling over. He doesn’t want to keep moving forward without pausing to process everything, reflecting a sense of being overwhelmed.

As problems pile up, people tend to leave or abandon him, which shows his sense of isolation. He realizes that his situation isn’t as profitable or successful as he had hoped. He mentions being late that evening, possibly implying that he’s falling behind in life or not managing time well. He contemplates how life can last many years or come to an unexpected end, with the instability of life being clear—sometimes it’s smooth, other times it’s rocky, and just when things seem to be improving, they get worse again. He feels a lack of time to express himself, hinting at regret or missed opportunities to speak his truth.

Nusky reflects on his addiction, feeling trapped in his room with the smell of substances, and his relationships becoming blurred and disconnected. He confesses that things are so chaotic that he’s losing touch with what’s important, comparing his confusion to a change in the devil’s appearance. The reference to a “knotted heart” shows his anxiety about the future, and waking up in a bad place emotionally or mentally, feeling stuck in a cycle of negativity. His reference to feeling beyond the physical realm speaks to his deeper, emotional struggle—he and another person understand the feeling of trying to reach something undefined, something that only exists in dreams or fantasy. When these overwhelming emotions hit, he feels powerless, without the time to decide what to do.

He expresses frustration with the unpredictability of life, not knowing whether things will last or suddenly crash. As life continues to shift, he regrets not prioritizing himself, realizing that sometimes he should have focused more on his own well-being instead of trying to change everything around him. Despite the chaos, he acknowledges that life is constantly shifting and can turn at any moment.

[Outro]
The outro reinforces the idea that life is unpredictable, and everyone experiences their own turn with struggles and challenges. Nusky reminds us that it’s a cycle—each person will face their moment of hardship or success. Eventually, we will all have our time to reflect and understand what we’ve gone through, perhaps meeting again in a higher place, symbolizing hope or redemption. The repetition of “C’est chacun son tour” emphasizes the inevitability of this cycle.
