DARKNET Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
This part sets the tone for the song by introducing the darknet as a place where anything can be bought, no matter how illegal or extreme. It highlights the ease of access to dangerous items like weapons and drügs, emphasizing that there’s no need to travel the world when everything is just a click away. The lyrics create a dark, almost exaggerated picture of the underground market, making it sound like an open street where anything is for sale.

Here, the artist talks about his identity as a French rapper while referencing various luxury and international influences. He mentions a Swiss watch, intense focus, and constant travel, showing a mix of hard work and global lifestyle. The lyrics also highlight France’s multicultural nature, mentioning Caribbean rum, Mediterranean hash, and Italian or Breton high fashion. The verse emphasizes globalization and cultural blending, suggesting that influences from different parts of the world come together, just like in the darknet, where products and origins are mixed in a chaotic yet connected way.

This part takes the dark theme even further, mentioning human trafficking and organ trade, some of the most disturbing aspects of the darknet. The lyrics reinforce that anything, even human lives, can be bought and sold there. By mentioning cheap crack, the song also touches on how the darknet provides access to dangerous substances without limits. It paints a grim picture of a world where morality is absent, and everything is reduced to a transaction.

[Refrain]
The chorus lists different weapons, drügs, and locations, showing the international scale of illegal trade. French FAMAS rifles, Russian AKs, and Israeli Uzis symbolize the global arms market, while coc*ine from Colombia and America, Greek and Istanbul-based connections, and Moroccan cannabis highlight the worldwide drug trade. By repeating these elements, the song reinforces how deeply connected and widespread the darknet’s illegal economy is, making it feel like a limitless marketplace for anything illicit.

[Couplet 2]
This verse focuses on globalization and contrasts luxury with street life. The rapper moves between cultures, speaking different languages and living a lifestyle influenced by various countries. References to American goods, Belgian beer, and Dutch weed show how different elements mix in his reality. He even mentions falling for an Ivorian scammer, humorously referencing internet fraud. The idea that anything can be found extends beyond the darknet, even to mainstream spaces like Fashion Week, showing how interconnected crime, luxury, and society can be. The mention of slums near highways reminds us that while the darknet offers excess, poverty still exists in the real world.

This part continues listing what can be found on the darknet, including people from different nationalities and illegal substances like ayahuasca, a powerful hallucinogen. The repetition of the idea that everything is available emphasizes the limitless, yet unsettling, nature of the darknet. It reinforces how the internet’s hidden corners make it possible to access things that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to get in real life.

[Refrain]
The chorus repeats again, driving home the song’s main theme—global illegal trade is everywhere, with weapons, drügs, and contraband flowing between countries without restriction. The repetition serves as a reminder that this hidden economy continues to operate, connecting different parts of the world in a way that is both impressive and disturbing. The darknet is portrayed as an underground network where money determines everything, and laws have no power.
