Meaning
The song is written in the Quebec joual dialect. The title, loosely translated, means "get out of the way"; the song describes the narrator's guilt at having abandoned a friend who had overdosed, and his desire to see his friend again.
The music video was shot in Montreal, more specifically on Emery Street between Sanguinet and St-Denis streets.

gollark: No idea, didn't check.
