To older listeners of Bibio, “C'est La Vie” will sound strikingly similar, as it mimics the tone and structure of his 2011 track “Anything New” from his Mind Bokeh album. It also directly lifts lyrics from the song, as well as others in his discography.
“C'est La Vie” carries the same kind of story...
[Verse 1]
Put a hand up when you buried your head in the sand
You waved a flag to send out
A message that you heard
You heard me treading in the shadows of the evergreens
You turned to me and you said
"You will learn nothing from me."
[Verse 2]
I thought you wouldn't notice that I lost some sleep for you
And all the flowers that have
Wilted ‘cause I left them to
You won't remember, but I wanted you to guarantee
That you will never ever
Forget that "C'est la vie"
[Verse 2]
I thought you wouldn't notice that I lost some sleep for you
And all the flowers that have
Wilted ‘cause I left them to
You won't remember, but I wanted you to guarantee
That you will never ever
Forget that "C'est la vie"
