lyrics

J’évite mon regard dans la glace
Car je n’ai pas envie de voir des traces
Des traces des années qui passent
Ce lâche avec un air lasse
Toi tu ferait quoi à ma place?
Qu’est ce qu’il faut que je fasse?
Pour me sortir de cet impasse
Pour faire demi tour il n’y a pas de place
Faut forcer et tant pis la casse
Tourner la page, tirer la chasse
Dégager toute cette merde et paperasse
Faut que je traîne ma carcasse
Je me gène quand j’avance
Quelle flemme c’est immense
Je t’emmene en amont
Ca passe crème nous allons
Planter un graine dans le sol
Soyons zen pas d’alcool
Pas de veine pas de bol
Hallucinogène la vie est folle

It’s not the same when you’re paying with your own money
In your wellies counting pennies and it’s no funny
Disappearing can be easy when you’re nobody
Had a plan, it fell apart cos it was so shoddy
Teeth brushing without looking in the mirror
Cos I don’t wanna see the way I dried out and withered
All dark no shine no glitter
In a couple years I’ll be walking with a zimmer
Marching on and the chance’s getting slimmer
But of the hope I believe there is a glimmer
Turn the heat down leaving it to simmer
I had a dream where I headed in the winner
Can’t evade me I’m Uranium I’m slightly zany
Tell the brainy Mémé Earth’s a sacred lady
Many came and few remained
One was slain and two were maimed
Protégé was born again
For the fame it’s all a game

Cerné par les cernes sur ma face
Tirer le rideau les rides font surface
Trop miro le miroir je le casse
Je vois flou, ce filou m’agace
Enfoncer les pieds dans la mélasse
Dansez je traîne ma carcasse
Avancer les traces des limaces
Renoncé je brise ma carapace
Monotone les jours passent et repassent
A la ramasse, à la masse, à la casse
L’ennuie me dévore tel un rapace
Seul hâte, le jour où je trépasse
Un souvenir furtif je pourchasse
Jolie elle me sourit et m’enlace
Tangible mais tordu et fugace
Cruelle disparu sans traces
