Go On

If you feel lonely,
you heart is so heavy,
if your life need a light,
i'm your sun for a night.

Come my way,
let me light your day
we're on the same road,
we're our own god,
our own god.

Everything turns to ashes,
everything goes wrong,
that's our life,
we must go on.

Go on, go on, go on...

If you want me
to look upon your life,
i'll keep my eyes open wide,
i shall find your weak side.

Come my way,
let me light your day,
we're on the same road,
we're our own god,
our own god.

Everything turns to ashes,
everything goes wrong,
that's our life,
we must go on.

Go on, go on, go on...




Flood

We're told what to do,
we're taken for fools,
and i wonder where we are going to.

Time is running away,
their world is made of clay,
happiness is not for today,
happiness is not for today.

I sold my soul,
they've tainted my blood,
and i'm waiting for the flood.

The bargain was so easy,
there was so much to win,
it was just an idle dream,
it was just an idle dream.

But tomorrow will come,
and i know :
there will be no more lies,
there will no more fights,
there will be no more lies,
there will no more fights,
there will be no more lies,
there will no more fights left,
there will be no more lies,
there will no more fights left,
there will be no more lies,
there will no more fights left,
there will be no more lies...

I know that tomorrow will come,
i know that tomorrow will come,
can't you hear me :
i'm saying we'll live on ?
can't you hear me :
i'm saying we'll live on ?




Wake Up

Walking in the streets of a town
and looking everything around,
all i see is selfishness,
misery and timourous faces.

Can't you see how life could be ?
Go and see, let's try to change it !

People don't seem to enjoy life
but only try to survive.
Now it's time to understand or it will be too late.

Can't you see how life could be ?
Go and see, let's try to change it !

Walking in the street of a town
and still feeling the same hate...
Why do we hurt each other ?
We must face another enemy...

Can't you see how life could be ?
Go and see, let's try to change it !




Inside

Do you remember the time i used to say :
"i have to go away
and leave this place
'cause something must happen now in my life" ?
But i know it won't be there,
i have to leave this town,
one day you answered :
"you can go if you want."

"but just let me give you one last advice,
maybe what you're looking for is not that far."
But it was too late,
and nothing could make me change my mind.

Two years went by and things became so different,
i was full of money and everybody respected me,
all my wishes could be satisfied,
and i thought i had realised that dream,
the one i used to talk about with you.

I was wrong,
i was blinded by all these mountains of gold.
I had my pockets full of keys.
But noone could deliver me of that old feeling coming back,
again !

My life was still as empty as that day
you told me i could not escape from my destiny,
taking the long way to another place.
I have ran for miles and miles,
seen so many countries
but actually i only had to look inside of me !
I only had to look inside of me !
I only had to look inside of me !
I only had to look inside of me !
Inside , inside, inside !




Wall of Time

Fight the wall of time,
i take your hand,
the time goes on,
you've got to make a stand.

The descrepancy between what should be
and what is really
hit you hard.

Beware,
fight,
beware...

See,
see how it shines,
don't need a sign,
look ahead,
problems fled.

You lived in a haze,
your past is a maze,
waiting for someone
blazing a trail.

You're in a dead end,
but don't look behind,
unfold your wings,
and rise from nothing.

You burnt years away,
but it's never too late,
you've got to face it,
there's no gateaway

Away
a way,
away...

See,
see how it shines,
don't need a sign,
look ahead,
problems fled.

Please,
i'm just beside,
and i feel your pain,
let me help you,
and love you.




Forgive

Pour scorn on me honey,
forgive my betraying.
Inside my heart is burning,
i don't know what to say.
My fault of this is the case,
you felt so fouled in your pride,
but i'll win you back on my side,
i know it 'cause...

...your eyes don't lie,
and i can see your soul,
your eyes don't lie,
you will forgive my fault.
For you and i there's still a long, long haul.
Our bounds are tight, you can't just walk out.

I used to be your shadow,
now guilt is beaming around me.
I am drowning in sorrows,
but if only...

...your eyes don't lie,
i will see your soul,
your eyes don't lie,
you will forgive my fault.
For you and i there's still a long, long haul.
Our bounds are tight, you can't just walk out.

Give it an harmless try,
you would like to forget.
This wish can be fulfilled,
you will fogive...

...your eyes don't lie,
i will see your soul,
your eyes don't lie,
you will forgive my fault.
For you and i there's still a long, long haul.
Our bounds are tight, you can't just walk out.




Lorelei

Feeling like a prey,
waylaid,
driven to despair,
to despair.

Your conscience's astray
away,
an automaton,
an automaton.

You don't know what to say,
you're dismayed,
but i'm here,
i'm here...

Please,
don't listen to those saying these praise be.
Oh please,
believe in yourself not in their prayers...

Didn't feel the pain,
the chains,
they sucked your life out,
your life out.

But you're here once again,
it's not the end,
forget what they say,
and the tears you shed.

You don't know what to say,
you're dismayed,
but i'm here,
i'm here...

Please,
don't listen to those saying these praise be.
Oh please,
believe in yourself not in their prayers...




Des Maux aux Lettres

J'écris,
enfin je revis,
je sais vers quoi tendre.
J'écris pour enfin comprendre les méandres de ma vie.

Ce que j'ai su donner trop vite évaporé,
ce que je n'ai pu livrer je l'couche sur le papier.

Oh double quasi parfait,
ami sans secret,
quand à travers ce miroir je peux soudain vous voir.

J'écris pour moi et mes fautes,
pour tendre vers les autres,
pour me sentir exister quand j'n'existe plus assez.

Je m'fais parfois l'effet d'un fou
à chercher dans un rien
ce qui est partout,
oublier les garde-fous !

Outrepassant tous les faux semblants
j'opère le changement.
Toute cette peine à avouer...
Tant de masques à brûler...
Trop de masques à brûler...

***

Je veux relire
ces lignes ces passages,
le souvenir de mes mirages.
Mais j'dois sortir
de cette loi du pire ;
les plus belles pages restent à écrire...




Indifférence

Elle pense
qu'exister c'est savoir
conserver sa liberté,
et qu'il nous faut pouvoir
toujours se réinventer.

Pourquoi tant d'indifférence de ta part ?
Si notre amour n'est qu'essence,
eh bien pars !

"Rien ne peut durer,
notre histoire n'est pas éternelle.
Nous la consommons tu sais,
et c'est en ça qu'elle est belle."

Pourquoi tant d'indifférence de ta part ?
Si notre amour n'est qu'essence,
eh bien pars !

Mais je me surprend
à ressasser le passé.
Je revois l'étoile que tu étais,
tu disais,
tu promettais...
... que nous serions plus grands...
... arrêter le temps...
... nous pourrions lutter...
... lutter...

Mais je veux nier l'évidence,
l'évidence...
Donne nous cette chance :
tu dois rester.




Evidence*

Qu'est-ce que je fais ici ?
Je ne sais même plus qui je suis.
Ici je deviens fou,
je suis une route sans fin...

Il faut bien travailler,
ne pas s'attarder à penser.
Ainsi tout devient flou
et on se fout de tout...

Mais où est la vie ?
Je l'avais posée par là,
avant de dormir,
elle est partie par ici...
C'était comme une évidence,
une vie si dense
où dansaient mes envies
.

j'ai repris mes esprits
gardés en gage au mont d'piété.
Je reprends les chemins
qui sont vraiment les miens.

Et je reprends vie
en accord avec moi même.
Je reprends l'envie
à ceux qui me l'avaient prise.
Et c'est comme une évidence,
une vie si dense,
où dansent mes envies
.

Reprendre ses esprits,
décoller,
leur monde est bien trop plat.
Reprendre ses esprits,
la vraie vie
est dans ce que je vois.
Reprendre ses esprits...
Reprendre ses esprits...

Vivre avec ses passions,
ne plus se mentir à soi-même.
Aimer tout ce qu'on sème,
semer à perdre haleine !
(*) paroles Alxandre trijoulet




L'inattendu

Ma vie s'écoule doucement,
je dérive tranquillement.
Puis vient l'aurore de ta vie,
obscurcissant mon ciel,
éclipsant mes envies...

Etincelle de vie
étiolant mes lubies,
laiss'venir le désir,
laiss'nos deux destins s'unir.

Dédoublement charnel
tombé hier du firmament,
tu es l'inattendu présent,
je veux que de ma vie tu sois l'ornement.

Etincelle de vie
étiolant mes lubies,
laiss'venir le désir,
laiss'nos destins s'unir.

Je suis en transe,
et je pense à demain...

Je suis en transe,
et je pense à demain...

Quelque soit mon futur,
mes erreurs, mes ratures,
désormais je suis sûr,
mais j'ai falli partir,
j'ai falli m'enfuir,
j'ai falli quitter...
...j'ai falli quitter le soleil de ma vie...
Soleil de ma vie...
Soleil de ma vie...
... de ma vie...




The Way 2 get 2 U

You're slipping away.
Why don't you stay ?
Where's the way through this to get to you ?

I won't give in
all that we've been.
Where's the way through this to get to you ?
The answer won't come up out of the blue...

Let yourself go
down with the flow,
and don't think of things that could have been.

Maybe we'll fall
along the haul,
but don't think of things that could have been,
nothing will be quite like what you've foreseen.

I get closer,
you go further,
i feel purer,
you're much better.
I call you down, why don't you ?
I call you down, why don't you ?
I call you down, so why don't you ?




Innocent blow

Someone is knocking on my door,
fulfilling what i was waiting for.
Like no one's never ever done before,
you give me all but still i want more.

From my threshold you're calling me.
Your words sum up so well my plea,
and i would guess you will never know
the real strength of your inocent blow.

Please could you stay for a while ?
This must be the end of the show,
'cos everything is clearer now !

I am on the brink of the cliff,
but tell where lies the reef
and i won't make my gataway.




Une Autre Vie

Je rêve d'une vie sans pareille,
d'un flot de sensations,
d'aller sans but et sans raisons.

Je hais les chemins bien tracés,
les croix et les clochers,
et tous les messages hérités.

fortune, dollars, pouvoir et gloire,
des chimères auxquelles je ne veux croire.

Vous jouez de tout et tout au trot,
vous courrez toujours plus haut,
mais oubliez vos oripeaux.

A s'agiter pour oublier
autant passer du bon côté...

Et tous ces clichés façonnés,
tous ces messages mal formulés,
mais où est donc la loi de vos gestes ?

Je n'ai ni peine ni regret,
et pour unique défense
j'avance au gré de mes sens.

A s'agiter pour oublier
autant passer du bon côté...

Et tous ces clichés façonnés,
sortir du monde pour mieux rester,
mais où est donc la loi de vos gestes ?

A cris et à corps,
oublier nos peurs,
oublieux du sort,
je veux être l'acteur,
défiant le décor,
et ses enjeux.

Je veux lever la voile,
vous présenter la toile,
maculée de vos vies
mêlées à l'infini,
je veux tromper l'ennui,
je veux tromper l'ennui,
céder à mes envies.




L'oubli

Comment voir en mon avenir une source d'espoir ?
Comment ne pas pervertir ce qui fut notre histoire ?
Quand je ne peux tourner la page...

L'oubli me fait un peu penser
à un animal enchaîné,
qui s'mutile pour se délivrer,
pour se délivrer.

Soumis à ce qui n'est plus
pour éviter le pire,
je sublime les souvenirs,
qui me sont restés,
comme un écrin pour mon passé.

L'oubli me fait un peu penser
à un animal enchaîné,
qui s'mutile pour se délivrer,
LA PAGE EST TOURNEE !




SILENCE

You are so worn down
by those lies,
but you keep your eyes
on the ground.

And you try to restrein
all the strain,
but still it gets through to
through to you.

Silence is a pretence
which never ends.
So you've got to break through,
through the void.

A decision to take
can't be fake.
But the stakes are so high,
will you get by ?

***

Nothing more to see,
it's where it gets eventually
the place for you
where it all gets down to.

And no matter how much,
how much you contest.
You cannot master
you cannot master your distress

It cannot be retrieved
the past can't be deceived.
The stain will stay,
you can't push it away.

Never surrender,
'cos it gets you further.
You're all you need to be
stand up and talk to me




The Maze

You
You feel the light
You feel the light
You feel the wave

You tread
Follow the path
Follow the path
Better be fast

You're trying
You do

You
Think it's alright
Think it's alright
Follow the light

You're wrong
You've been mislaid
You've been mislaid
All your hopes fade

The future fades out

In the maze of your life
In the maze of your life

You
You face the wall
You face the wall
You face the hole

It's there
Look into you
Look into you
You can't get through

Retrace your fate

In the maze of your life
In the maze of your life

Look up straight
Look into you
straight

In the maze

Look up straight
Look into you
straight

In the maze

Look up straight
Look into you
straight

Be your own guide !

***

You tread
Follow the path
Follow the path
Better be fast

You're trying
You do




Time Stop

When all is said,
and silence veils,
and the clock's ticking takes a stop.

Where all ways end,
a nowhere land,
where truth hides out but can be found.

A lapse of time,
of time.
A moment of truth,
our conscience unloose.
Never ever want it to come to an end.

There is always,
always a way ;
this must last forever and a day.

A lapse of time,
of time.
A moment of truth,
our conscience unloose.
Never ever want it to come to an end.
Never ever want it to come to an end.

You and I,
hold and tight,
it's day by night,
darkness turns to light.

Please stay still,
say you will,
and let your fear,
let your fear aside...

Before time takes a toll,
before time reaps our soul,
and before we're just :
torn apart,
pulled apart,
far apart ;
I need you, I need you to stop the time.




Looking for you

Hey, i'm looking for you.
Hey, i really need you.

I can't spend my whole life without you,
and i know your heart is broken too.

We... We could try it again.
Let's forget all this pain,
and don't miss the last train.

Hey, i'm looking for you.
Hey, i really need you.

If i only could speak to you...
But it only now belongs to you.

We... We could try it again.
Let's forget all this pain,
and don't miss the last train.




Lucifer blues explosion

All these brand new marks are boring me,
all these TV shits are sucking me.
So many dirty things are killing me,
and i just want to stop it all.

Please, talk to me, come with me,
i don't want to feel alone !
Please, talk to me, wake up please,
i just want to rock'n roll.

Mr Smith is happy to be here
and he is glad to wear a new tie.
Mr Smith proudly says he fucks all the time,
but he can't stant rock'n roll.

Please, dance with me, play with me,
we could try to go away.
Please, talk to me, wake up please !
I just want to rock'n roll !




Smile

I see your smile,
your lips move but i don't mind.
(I) don't need to hear what you say.
I know you're the one.

And i don't care
'bout those who don't understand.
Life's not what they pretend.
We will show them.




Come here

You think you choose.
You go to vote.
You buy new shoes.
You've got all you want.

Come here my friend,
don't think again.
We'll wash your brain,
we'll all be the same.

Life will seem much easier.
Life will just be better.
Life will seem much safer.
Life will just be purer.

We can control
your expectations.
We can create
your next desires.

Come here my friend,
don't think again.
We'll wash your brain,
we'll all be the same.

Life will seem much easier.
Life will just be better.
Life will seem much safer.
Life will just be purer.

Life will seem much easier !
Life will seem much easier !
Life will seem much easier !
Life will seem much easier !




The kiss

I feel your tongue in my mouth,
it gently moves into me
like a fish swimming,
i love the way it dives into me.

Let's melt together,
it's warm and wet,
it's sweet and safe,
it's the way you kiss.

I feel your tongue in my mouth,
it makes a strange dance, like a snake.
(And) i feel hipnotized.
I want to keep it to keep forever.

Let's melt together,
it's warm and wet,
it's sweet and safe,
it's the way you kiss.
