Du même artiste :

La chanson évoque la solitude partagée entre des individus qui se croisent sans vraiment se connaître. Tous se retrouvent dans des situations similaires, vivant côte à côte mais incapables de créer des liens. Les personnages sont décrits dans leurs quotidiens, chacun espérant trouver une connexion qui semble toujours échapper. Dans un cadre où la vie urbaine se mêle à la mélancolie, on y croise des figures aux histoires variées, chacune cherchant désespérément à rompre l'isolement. Ce mélange de désespoir et de légèreté illustre à quel point nos vies peuvent être parallèles, tout en restant solitaires.
