Thank you I always wondered what the song was about, now if only someone could explain the video LOL

Yeah! Especially with the globe inflating guy next to the tall super random dancing guy

Travel abroad gives one new perspectives and you’re exosed to new ideas.

Thus enabling you to recognize the Insane Asylum you escaped from.

This song, in my opinion, is about totally the opposite of encouragement to travel. It is a twist.

The fact that the artist is also called Desireless (without desires) points to a different meaning. The song is about being drawn by the external World and the senses, where people loose themselves in desires. At a point you can see a reference to a Hindu God in those images on the wall, which might point to a more philosophical interpretation as well.

There is also this part of lyrics: “Travel, travel, further than the night and the day Travel, in spaces unheard of by love” “spaces unhears of by love” seems to point out that those travels, which people are supposedly encouraged to, are actually worldy things that take them away from Love – the true meaning of life.

Notice also how the artist is stopping and looking directly at you with a cold look, possibly asking you: “do you really think that those travels and pleasures bring you closer to love and life?”.

What do you think?

i think you got the key

Reminds me of 1980s ski trips

@daniel michalski very thoughtful and intelligent comment, thank you. True Art is seldomly one dimensional so it revers the piece and the spectator to inspire those interesting insights.

Intelligent comment and thank you for sharing. Here is my interpretation of the video. I see people gambling with a love of money, people eating like a glutton, people kissing…doing strange things and then all these people end up meeting in front of the slide show. sometimes we are too caugh in our lives and “desires” that we forget to “open” ourselves and see the real world….The lyrics evoke travel departures while implicitly evoking a spiritual dimension via the inner journey. Desireless is seen singing while slides of different destinations are projected behind her. In the background, she invites travelers to reach a tropical destination. The other option is that This clip is set in a mental hospital, is much darker than it looks

I agree! Especially with: “The lyrics evoke travel departures while implicitly evoking a spiritual dimension via the inner journey.”

I think Daniel is pretty spot on with the meaning. Only listening to the lyrics and watching the music video are two entirely different songs. Regarding the video, it seems the song is more sensually oriented. The lyrics: “Travel Travel Voyage, voyage

On the sacred water of an Indian river (journey, journey) Sur l’eau sacrée d’un fleuve indien (voyage, voyage)”

seem to encourage this type of pursuit, although it will in the end be fruitless. You have an old businessman dancing with a young man and kicking the world away, like he does not care. It all seems very French hah!
