Lyric discussion by phoenixtra 

The first part could refer to the beginning when Thomas Guy-Manuel and Laurent Brancowitz were in a band called Darlin' and released a cassete tape called De la viande pour le disco? It only contained two tracks.

In a review made by the British music magazine Melody Maker, the author dubbed the music "a daft punky thrash. This is how they got their name.

So here is my take:

Like the legend of the phoenix (Ha)

It refers to Laurent Brancowitz

All ends with beginnings

I refers to the style from the new album. Using instruments again. and the title of the cassette: De la viande pour le disco?

What keeps the planet spinning? (Ahh) A force of love beginning

Could refer to the name of the band Darlin'

(look) We've come too far to give up who we are

It probably means: We want to make instrumental music. but we are daft punk now

So let's raise the bar and our cups to the stars

So lets try make even better music and collaborate with the super stars of music on our new album. (Nile Rodgers, Giorgio Moroder, etc_)

I forgot to mention that Laurent Brancowitz started a band called Phoenix after Darlin' Also very succesful.
