Starting From Scratch
01:12
|

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

La Vieille Femme
02:42
|
|||
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

The Last Dance
03:07
|
|||
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 !

Ce Que Nous Sommes
04:25
|
|||
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
