Céphaz | On a mangé le soleil
This song is an allegory sung against a happy background. However, the message is deeper and more serious, and needs to be taken out into the world. The singer has come a long way to get where he is today. Through the lyrics of his song, the artist talks about overconsumption and its damage, such as the overexploitation of man or the disappearance of natural resources.
