SELF FORGIVENESS
02:12
|
|||
|
It’s about time for some self forgiveness
Let’s stop waiting for things that might probably never happen
On my way to hell my mind was really sinking down
But I just woke up and I’m feeling like a prince
Modern days craze erased
Me and my own two hands will handle it
In this journey through life
No escape you’ve got to face it
Welcome, welcome my imaginary friends
Hands up, everyone ! ‘Cause nobody cares
All the reasons that I gave were mainly out of purpose
Guess I just had to meet me and bring me with me
Right in time for this tumultuous slice of life
I’ve never been here before
Follow my rules !
It’s all a brief wonderful thing so you should enjoy while you have it
If you don’t like the way it is you can remake it
A whole blank canvas and a billion things to do
I wish I had an angel on my shoulder singing me what’s good
Here to take my crown
Steppin’ up with that sound
Push away the negative
Ride the stream
And accept things the way they are
What a day for a new chance to make it the way I should
Everything off the beaten track
I wish I really could
Everything says « dive deep into the unknown
Don’t hesitate, the feeling has grown »
Day after day it is more obvious
It’s getting worse, but let me tell you :
All I really need is within me
Let it be my way
Would you come and ride with me ?

BRING SOME SWEETNESS
04:55
|
|||
|
You can hear the dogs are running but you never had a doubt
They’d be following you there with all those footprints left behind you
And what if it was your last days ? It wakes you up in the night
But there’s still no one around here, close your eyes, laid on your back
Family and friends are smiling, and the kids are looking fine
Because you brought them some sweetness with that food by your side
Yeah, you know that you have stolen, but you couldn’t let your people
starving
Sleep now…
You’re running as fast as you can carrying these heavy bags
But it won’t last any longer, seems like time is on your side
And you could almost feel the safety of your home all around
It seems maybe you are lucky, at least one time in your life
Family and friends are smiling, and the kids are looking fine
Because you brought them some sweetness with that food by your side
But there’s a shadow in the corner and the gun is pointing at your heart
Family and friends are fading and you’re surrounded by the light…
Family and friends are crying and the kids are looking sad
You wanted to help your people, now they’re all by your side
But the devils with their money won’t feel no regret to shoot you down
And they’ll laugh...

TRACES
03:27
|

One long night on a plane
Somewhere right between two spaces
Breaking logic rules, by the way
I’m not sure if I have found
Some place between past and future
What else “being out of time” defines?
And I really should be careful
With some demons in my suitcase
And an angel by my side
If I make it through the storm
When I’ll face thunder and lightnings
I won’t hang on to the clouds
Between wake and sleep
In the middle
Some say “lost”, it’s “finder”
Nothing is done in vain
Reminiscent past-time traces
In the cosmos of the mind, travel blind
And I really should be careful
With ghosts in the hippocampus
And a sunshine by my side
It’s over everyday
And I might have found a way
To keep your warmness by my side
Take your time, like you know you really need this
So you’ll regret less, and you’ll live it more
Everything is happening now, next day you could as well be gone
What you’ll leave behind, how do you want it to be?
Listen:
Take your time, like there’s nothing that you can hide
Like your actions follow your mind
Life ain’t no tape you can rewind
Don’t mess with your loved ones like you lose control
When you’re fuckin’ up with your heart, traces will remain in your soul
When you’re fuckin’ up with her heart, traces will remain in your soul
When you’re fuckin’ up with one’s heart, traces will remain in your soul
I just landed and I felt
Like I wouldn’t see the day
But your light reached my mind in time
And I really should be thankful
To the traces in my soul
And to the pure love by my side

IN THE PALM OF MY HAND
05:43
|

|
Guessing your body under your clothes
I’ve been watching you for years
‘Cause you’re all I really need and
Your nakedness warms my soul
Long for your laughter lovely wife
How I long for my glorious sunshine
Tender thoughts...
You take off your clothes
Then a whirl surrounds us and we’re out of this world
Your skin is love and light
I’m drunk of your smell
I can feel your heartbeat in the palm of my hand
We float in the air, we’re fine
See our love grow
It’s what we really have
And that’s all that we’ll keep
See our love grow all the time
We will marry soon
And we’ll become a family
All our friends will be dancing
We will all drink wine
Just like when we were younger
In our greatest nights
More beautiful than ever
Yeah you will be mine
We will all be together
To share a good time
And the songs we’ll be playing
They will light the sky
And the sound of our laughter
It will be so loud
And we’ll make love like never
And it will be mad
I’ve been your husband
And you’ve been my wife.

There’s nothing like « later »
There’s no such thing as « how it used to be »
There’s just « now », and forever
Don’t you see ?
« When we used to be free, back in time,
Remember the good old days when we were
Happier than now in nearly every way
Life was sweeter back then and it seems like yesterday
It’s just like these days are insane, catch life if you can »
Wake up, it is time ‘cause it’s all here and now
Stop reviving your past, regain consciousness
The moment that realy has to be fully lived is happening now
Everything else is just taking place in your mind.
Ils sont constamment tournés vers l’passé,
Derrière c’est No Future !!!
À leurs yeux j’vais droit dans l’mur
Y croire, une longue torture
Ou mourir d’une manière dure
Comme sous l’effet d’une morsure
Moi j’veux regarder en face de près la mort qui murmure
C’est mûrir, comme ce fruit jadis acide maintenant prêt à pourrir
Dans notre histoire y a plein de mensonges
C’est pas pour rire, c’est pour nous perdre,
Jouer sur nos peurs, les pires
Sache que mentir peut anéantir l’avenir
Quand l’passé est tromperie on n’s’accroche à plus rien
Quand la rage contrôle plus d’un d’mes frangins
Leurs enfants menottés dans l’ombre du monde, sans futur
Une torture de penser « no future »
No future
« When we will have the time to enjoy
Everything that life is bringing we will be
Happier than now in nearly every way
There will be better days, and I swear I’m gonna change,
It’s just like these days I’m insane, catch me if you can »
Wake up, it is time ‘cause it’s all here and now
Don’t rely on future days, regain consciousness
The moment that realy has to be fully lived is happening now
Everything else is just taking place in your mind.
Casquette grise, ascétique, la mascotte tise le stress salin...
J'regardais Grease quand j'étais gamin.
L'atmosphère est électrique, le nerf atteint.
Les wads sont dans la prise et la haine compresse ma main.
S'il faut qu'tu lises les thèses d'Alain Finkielkraut,
Dealer d'mots, tise ton verre d'absinthe.
Comme Middlesborough, un swing au club moyen,
Golfe rasant... C'que cicatrise la pierre d'Alun.
J'ai posté ma tour, hashtag Instagram déco :
Bris d'verre, bordel, Abribus Decaux !
Zen avec un féca
Zen avec un féca
Zen avec un féca
Pendant ton instant gramme de coke...

Out of the blue
I never miss the target of your brain
That I’m hunting
I’m taking my time
I’m watching you trying
To escape again
But as soon as the idea
Just even crossed your mind
It is up to me to play
And your time is mine
How dare you?
Don’t you turn your back on me
You can’t just cover up your ears
And mimic to feel free
That’s too hard
To fight against me
I’m so part of your psyche
Without it how lost would you be?
Holding you
By the throat
You whisper to my ear
You whisper to my ear…
Cease!
Let me breathe
I just wanna be released
You always appear in my clearest thoughts
Again and again acting like a ghost
Trying to make me sink
Until I drown in your waters
It beats for me and then nothing else matters
Making madness my own
Someday I’ll dive alone
Singing a mermaid’s song.

GHOSTS FROM THE PAST
04:08
|
|||
|
We will no longer hear the voices of the ghosts from the past
Being a part of the process doesn’t make us feel bad
Sometimes we remember our dreams and think we could turn mad
So we just have to drink that bottle and those feelings won’t last
For a while
You don’t know what it’s like to walk a mile in my shoes
Don’t you see that it looks like it’s all covered in snow ?
I’d rather have never known
We no longer see the rainbows, no pictures in the clouds
And we pretend to feel better than we did in the past
Maybe we have lost many friends but we had to work had
Too bad if they can’t understand what we really had in mind
Too bad
You don’t know what it’s like to walk a mile in my shoes
Don’t you see that it looks like it’s all covered in snow ?
I’d rather have never known
You don’t know what it feels like to see inside of your soul
I’d rather have never known
Hearing the sky and the stars telling you’re not alone
I’d rather have never known
Being hit by the beauty of the world on your own
I’d rather have never known
I’d rather have never known
I’d rather have never known

MOUNTAIN TOP
06:05
|

|
On my paper plane I sit and watch the stars
They have never seemed that bright
Light is in the air but it doesn’t blind me
I have never seen that far.
But I know that someday
It’ll be over anyway…
So I take good care and I’m trying to keep you
Away from what digs your blues
Not the easiest thing I have had to do
But I love to do it for you.
But I hope that someday
You’ll be happy anyway.
On a mountain top I’m sleeping in the wind
It has never seemed that warm
I am waiting here for my life to begin
And I really got the time
And I know that someday
It’ll be over anyway
It’ll be over anyway
And I’m looking at the sun
I wake up on a cloud
And it’s guiding my steps
So I sing in the sky
“Time is over! Time is over!”

His voice, his smile
The way he fakes to not care ‘bout his style
His mind, his arms, his eyes
The way he understands me when everyone before him has never really seemed to
realize
You never can tell, but it seems like we could be some kind of a good combination
I could take a chance on what life is suggestin’, maybe, and so on…
That look in her eyes
It’s feeling pretty good how she seems at ease when we spend some time together
That light in her mind
It puts me in a mood so I could easily lose myself in forever
There’s something in her behaviour that I quite like effortlessly
I could maybe try to go on
What will be will be
Since the beginning
Kind of freaks me out
A breathtaking view
On a wide picture of war
And peace
And war
Again
Suddenly losing my mind
It’s calling me from the very core of my energies
And that’s really awesome!
Can sense it getting very physical for the both of us
And we want some
More of these kissing and touching
More of that heat in the room
While we’re playing
More of this tension
This attraction
Body calling
How can you do this to me ?
How do you know how I feel ?
What do you think about it ?
Is it just me or do we perfectly know exactly how to please each other ?
Never felt that good before
That’s a good point
As far as I know
I just ask for some more
My body and soul want to keep on learning body skills from your soul and body
With a little bit of complications
Here come the times of expectations
Bringing a little disillusion
There’s gonna be clouds to hide the sun
And I know that I can be somehow
Difficult to deal with
And you see sometimes I don’t even really know how I feel, please
Just let me be myself
It’s useless how you try to change me
And if you don’t like it like that maybe it’s just the way it had to be
Another bad timing in life another brick in the wall, right ?
Once again some feelings lost and this is nothing worth the fight
Since the beginning
Kind of freaks me out
A breathtaking view
On a wide picture of war
And peace
And war
Again
Since the beginning
Kind of freaks me out
A breathtaking view
On a wide picture of war
And peace
And war
Again

Do you remember
When time was on your side
When the living was easy ?
Something remains
Like dust on a bottle,
It will take care of you.
Please hold this idea in your arms
And press it gently against your heart
Each time you’re feeling all alone
It will help you go through.
Loving yourself is the best thing you’ll learn
It will lead you to understanding
Of the movements happening in your mind
How useful for your self healing
Might as well never figure out
And watch life slowly fade away
And watch life slowly fade away...
Quand j’étais petit, j’étais le kid le plus rapide de ma ville
Le chrono j’kill sans limite, j’étais difficile à suivre
J’traçais vite, j’étais speed, Keanu Reeves, j’étais tranquille
J’étais ivre, j’avais le sentiment de vivre
J’coursais les filles de toutes les villes, j’étais débile,
J’avais le devil, j’étais sous pills comme Duracell
Est-ce que tu t’en rappelles ?
J’voyais ma bite lâcher des tricks, taper des trips
T’étais dans l’gaz à faire des phases
T’étais timide car tu les trouvais trop belles
J’avais la Bible et d’autres livres qui te rendaient chèvre et triste
Au fond du bed petit prince rêve de tous les tèj à la poubelle
J’graillais ces chips tous les week-ends avec l’équipe Universel
Après le sport on était morts, on avait qu’ça à faire
Tous ces loisirs et ces bons moments ont moisi sans précédent
Car le changement est un menteur n’indiquant jamais l’prix
J’regarde l’oubli s’installer petit à petit
Donc je subis en vieillissant avant que la mort me dise : « T’as rien compris »
Trust me all along, when you’ll go through harder times
Hang on to that song and fight back with your rhymes
Some will try to break you, but they just will bring more strength
My poor little fat boy…
They will spit at you
They’ll beat you with their fists
And you’ll be thinking of jumping
Out of the car on the highway
And you’ll want to sleep forever
But love yourself anyway
Twenty-five years later I’m free !!!

Va vers la rivière
Tu trouveras
Ce que tu cherches si tu es seul
On est si seuls
Songe à la mémoire
Du temps où
Tu n’étais rien qu’un enfant
Ca fait longtemps…
Tu ne t’es jamais cru différent
Comme ils te l’avaient appris
Un jour tu auras traversé le désert
Ce qui est perdu sera retrouvé
Down to the river
You might find
That you’ve never learned that much
In just one touch
Think that from now on
You will never look at the dawn
Like you do now
Anyhow
And you won’t care ‘bout being different
Because you’ll know that’s what we all are
It seems like you’ve found water in the desert
What was lost will be found

Once upon a time in a place not so far
Was a bunch of kids tryin’ to be free
But there was a war goin’ on
To control the thoughts of the masses
What was good for so long
Spreading in the working classes
But the kids were smart
They were tryin’ to react
And as a matter of fact
They’ve been easily pushed apart
But as violence rises
The number of kids increases
And they are about to release
Their anger against the power
Four and three and two and one
People are in the streets and you act like a clown
One and two and three and four
The house is on fire and we still want more
More of that money you don’t wanna share
More of that justice that you can’t bare
More equality, less poverty
Priority to the people the most likely
To need a bit of help, they are actually afraid
They fear your golden shoes are gonna walk over their heads
But it won’t last
‘Cause soon you’ll learn we’re not just statistics
You shouldn’t be so sure that you’re safe
We’ve got tactics
Four and three and two and one
People are in the streets and you act like a clown
One and two and three and four
The house is on fire and we still want more
Try all you can, we will get you
Be a man if you know how to
Step back, ‘cause we won’t
We sleep well, you don’t
Learn from your mistakes
Forget your handshakes
We’ll gather like snowflakes
Then we’ll turn to earthquakes
And so you think you’re a leader?
But you don’t wanna hear the ones you are supposed to lead
Just one more professional liar
And we are all aware you’re not the one that we need
Four and three and two and one
People are in the streets and you act like a clown
One and two and three and four
The house is on fire and we still want more

SMALL HANDS

I used to write sad songs and got a bit of attention
Did I just got people to get more sad with good intentions?
Did I help some of them to feel better when they had hard times?
How many of ‘em did just laugh at me when I had bad rhymes?
Never mind! What is behind me just made me
Nothing could change the way I did my thing, no one could foresee
Now is the time I work hard for my people
Nowadays I’m tryin’ not to waste time with the devil.
Night skies, fireflies, sit in the grass watching the sunrise
Laughters and smiles and bright stars in your eyes
From now on my whole life is dedicated to you
Every moment we’ll share will make sense like it’s brand new
You’re the future and you have changed my life forever
Time flies since you’re here, everything’s going faster
I love the way you’re turning life into poetry
Clouds and lullabies and feeling free
Thinking ‘bout what we’ll see together,
I realize the world is wide
We will take our time to discover
I will always be by your side
As long as you’ll need me I’ll be around
You’ll learn ‘bout stars and trees and flowers
Bugs, animals, fishes and birds
You make a day pass like two hours
And you’ll learn so many words
As long as you’ll need me I’ll be around
Trying to teach you to feel fine
When you’ll be sad I’ll ease your mind
Thinking ‘bout what we’ll see together,
I realize the world is wide
We will take our time to discover
I will always be by your side
Small hands in mine
Small hands in mine
Small hands in mine
Small hands in mine
Small hands in mine…
