Philippe Ache (Héritier) Lidwine est de retour pour ce qui pourrait être son meilleur album.

Cet album est pur bonheur et on mesure à quel point Lidwine nous avait manqué.

Starting from scratch I'am scratching my head Stretching my legs I'm testing my shape Shaping my will I'm wooing my desire I wonder if I'll ever get Where I have never set a foot From where I stand to the moon It is a hell of a jump So please take my hand Take my hand From where I stand to the moon It is a hell of a jump So please take my hand And hold till the end Give it a chance Give me a chance

The Bath 02:58
Come wash my hair And scrub my back Pretend we're children Hot water our mother I'll wash your hair And scrub your chest Till you're clean as a new pin A brand new me and you Come wash my hair and scrub my back I'll wash your hair and scrub your chest Come hold your breath and dive with me Come hold your breath and die with me Come hold your breath And dive with me Pretend we've just met Water always arises my senses I'll hold your hand You'll hold my heart We'll dive deep, will dive hard Till our lungs cry for oxygen Come wash my hair and scrub my back I'll wash your hair and scrub your chest Come hold your breath and dive with me Come hold your breath and die with me

Little Gang 04:00
I've never felt that I belonged to Any clan, any gang, any club So I had to work it out for quite a while To make it sound right Like I wanted to But none of your words of praise Could ever fill me up with pride I was always unsure, in a heavy haze Never ever satisfied I shouldn't have listened to the siren song Should have kept my ears shut But my mind was gone, crazy Too busy trying to please everyone Too lazy to deal with what really mattered I had nothing left to say I had lost my way I had nothing left to do But to run away Now I'm lucky I have my own Little clan, little gang, little club I've mended each hole in my self confidence, strength and desire I have nothing left to prove I've finally found my place There are so many things I want to do So many things I'm gonna do

My Own Crown 04:23
I can't picture myself In this frame, in this frame Looking at this vanity fair Can't picture myself in this mess I praise the elegance Of the outsider With it comes the light Of a true fire, of a true fire I can't accept the rules Of your silly game, of your silly game From false prophets to low cost idols Can't bring myself to bow down to your gods I choose the rough road Away from the crowd I'm ok to strive But only for my own crown

La Falaise 03:58
J'ai bâti mon nid à flanc de la falaise Il est de ceux qui resteront vides Je regarde la mer depuis le flanc de la falaise Mon nid est un écrin qui demeurera vide Je scie ma branche Que d'autres perpétuent Ce sera sans moi Moi j'arrête là J'ai bâti mon nid à flanc de la falaise Il est de ceux qui surprennent certains, certaines Je laisse tomber mes oeufs depuis le flanc de la falaise Mon nid est un écrin qui demeurera vide Je scie ma branche Que d'autres perpétuent Ce sera sans moi De toute manière Toutes nos traces Finiront bien Par disparaître

Holy Fatigue 04:44
Holy fatigue The joy of accomplishment The pride of a job well done Holy fatigue The cleanse of a good old sweat The bliss of the promised bed My eyes fly over the task ahead My back stiffens My mind sets the target My forehead wrinkles I need to focuss Every muscle so tense Oh troubling thoughts be gone May action bring oblivion A state of meditation My fingers hold the tool tight My breath shortens The cold wind whips my face hard Makes me shiver But I am focussed Every muscle so sore All troubling thoughts are gone Action brings oblivion Action brings meditation Action brings salvation

La Gardienne 03:29
Laisse-moi être la gardienne J'entretiendrai le feu Laisse-moi être la fontaine J'étancherai ta soif Laisse-moi être la tempête Je laverai toutes tes peines Laisse-moi être la comète J'illuminerai le ciel étoilé

Je nous fais marcher au milieu d'un désert L'orchidée se dessèche, j'ai peur qu'elle se meurt La vieille femme m'attend Hé bien qu'elle attende Pour l'instant je cours plus vite qu'elle Et je gagne du temps Le corps a ses saisons Moi trop de printemps L'horloger est malade, je ne suis plus à l'heure Constamment La vieille femme m'appelle Hé bien qu'elle appelle Pour l'instant mon reflet se moque d'elle Et je gagne du temps Toi tu es là toujours auprès de moi Et je n'en reviens pas

We cannot quench our thirst The water's been poisoned Each of our cells fight For sovereignty We can't trust what we see We can't trust what they say Constant anxiety leads to insanity And they still excave deep and expand Watch them, watch them ! And they still drink, feast, and party Hear them, hear them ! And they still laugh loud and pretend That they can't even feel their own end Coming, coming We cannot sleep at night The flashlights are too bright We sleepwalk on a cliff The void will swallow We've been taught we were gods When we were only cogs Collaboration's the key Competition's the lie And they still excave deep and expand Watch them, watch them ! And they still drink, feast, and party Hear them, hear them ! And they still laugh loud and pretend That they can't even feel their own end Coming, coming If it is the last dance then let's dance ! If it is the last song then let's sing ! If it is the last breath then let's breath ! If it is the last chance Then let's rise !

À l'aube, chaque jour Je prends pieds nus Le même chemin Mes doigts légers qui courent Les herbes folles, caressent chaque brin Sous mes pas, le sol résonne À l'unisson de mon coeur Tous mes sens en éveil S'imprègnent, s'étonnent Et s'abandonnent Et lentement j'oublie Qui je suis À l'aube, chaque jour Nous prenons pieds nus Le même chemin Nos voix mêlées au ciel qui s'ouvre Révèlent la toile tissée de fils d'or fin Sous nos pas, le sol résonne À l'unisson de nos coeurs Tous nos sens en éveil S'imprègnent, s'étonnent Et s'abandonnent Et lentement nous apprenons ce que nous sommes
