Song Meaning of “Les cons” by Zoufris Maracas
Les cons, a heartfelt song penned by Zoufris Maracas, is an ode to the everyday struggles of life that all of us must endure. The song speaks to the way it can be difficult to go about our daily lives and to stay positive and not be dragged down by the endless, repetitive monotony. The lyrics discuss how it can be hard to stay afloat and that it’s easy to give up. But, despite being disheartened by the seemingly never-ending toil, it is essential to stay strong and keep going. As Zoufris Maracas encourages us in the chorus: “Rien n’est perdu, tout est en jeu / Fais ce que tu peux, même si tu es un des cons” (Nothing is lost, everything is at stake / Do what you can, even if you’re one of the fools). This song reminds us that it is okay to admit we are all lost, vulnerable and in a state of despair, but that we must ultimately keep going and believe in ourselves and in the collective power of humanity.
