Un, deux, trois, quatre
Salut je suis un espadon
J'ai perdu mon téléphon
Vers le champs de tournesols
Il devient un champignon
Ah c'est que les champignons
C'est inédit c'est pas bon signe Si tu as envie d'appeler
Le mieux de tout les espadon
Oh, Oh, Oh ohhhhh

Salut j'suis un espadon
J'ai perdu mon téléphon

Vers le champs de tournesol
Je m'inquiète pour tout le monde


Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from "Death of the Phone Call" by WHATEVER DAD. The lyrics are in French and talk about a swordfish who has lost their phone somewhere in a field of sunflowers. The swordfish is worried because without their phone, they can't call anyone. The line "Il devient un champignon" (it becomes a mushroom) suggests that the phone has been lost for a while and may no longer be functional. The swordfish acknowledges that this situation is not a good sign and advises the listener to call the best swordfish if they need to make a call.


The lyrics themselves are a bit humorous, as the idea of a swordfish carrying a phone and losing it in a field of sunflowers is a bit absurd. Additionally, the swordfish's concern for others despite their own predicament is endearing. However, the overall theme of the song seems to be about the changing nature of communication and the loss of the traditional phone call, which is hinted at in the song's title. The use of the swordfish as a narrator is perhaps symbolic of the struggle many people face in adapting to new forms of communication.


Overall, "Death of the Phone Call" is a quirky and playful song that touches on larger themes of change and adaptation. The lyrics are straightforward but still manage to convey a sense of empathy and concern for others, even in the face of personal challenges.
