The song "Pesto" by Julien Doré tells a story about the complexities of life and the uncertainties that come with it. The lyrics explore themes of truth, lies, broken hearts, and the strangeness of people who destroy beautiful things. The song begins with the narrator questioning if everything is true, including both lies and words. They wonder if fate has already been decided and if it is written all over their skin. The narrator also reflects on the strange nature of people who destroy beauty. As the song progresses, the narrator asks if tears and sobbing are real, and if the world has grown tired of its own rhythm. They express a willingness to become someone's grave if everything has to fall apart. The mention of catching a few sauces au pesto (pesto sauces) might symbolize trying to hold on to something familiar or comforting amidst chaos. The chorus repeats the question of whether everything is true and if the world has grown tired of its own rhythm. The lyrics also touch on the idea that everyone is caught up in their own fights, but are also indignant about the state of the world. The song ends with the recurring plea to become someone's grave if everything has to fall apart and if the world has grown tired of its own tempo. The repetition emphasizes the uncertainty and the desire for some kind of resolution or meaning. Overall, "Pesto" portrays a sense of longing and questioning in the face of a confusing and disordered world. It reflects on the human desire for understanding, connection, and stability amidst the chaos of life.
