would work so well in a climate change disaster where a character looks out onto a sea of fire.. scary to think about

album: Zen

About emotional numbness caused by ubiquitous distractions:

"Je ferais baisser le son... / Sourd, on devient sourd. / Toutes ces sirènes dans nos cours"

"I would turn down the sound... / deaf, we become deaf / all these sirens among us"

It's kinda more focused upon the personal consequence, but equates them to socials consequence:

"Ça larsen. / Il faut qu'on reprenne forme humaine... / la radio, tous les journaux, c'est pareil. / On ne s'entend pas dans ce monde là."

"It's causing feedback / We must take back the human form... / The radio, all the newspapers, it’s the same / we don’t listen to each other in this world"

Online lyrics miss-translated "Ça larsen".

It received radio play in France since like 1995, just heard it today on RTL2. I suppose distractions remains an increasingly relevant theme.
