lyrics

Wake up, it’s a new day! It’s time to take a step aside
wake up! the sun will soon be high in the sky
I open my eyelids, slowly let the light in.
As I come back to the present, my mind is still wandering.
Another morning of running
usual habits, daily routine
spinning like a slot machine
Automatisms are killing me.
I behave like a robot To handle the pressure. I
put duty before pleasure, need a reboot, to get free
tic tac the clock is ticking
That gets on my nerves
overwhelmed with everything
Is this all I deserve?
Lunch break: I eat too fast
mistake! I feel quite sickly
Need to quickly reconnect on the right frequency
How to find inner peace If I don't take the time to breathe?
As the day slowly decrease, all I can do is grit my teeth.
C’Mon
Don't you understand? This world has gone insane
Face up... make my stand, I try even if it's all in vain.
And when the day is gone
I play an old Nick Drake song
in the darkness all alone
I've been waiting for so long
Sailing against the current
Smothering my own flame,
So many lessons I haven't learned
when everyday were the same.
Take away my sorrows
Take my fears away,
I gotta keep going straight
Forget those times I wasn’t clear with myself
Before I disappear
Before it’s too late
Find the reason why i’m here.
Fight again and again
I try again and again
locked up in my cage
I will try again and again.
Fight again and again
I try again and again
Break out of my cage
I will try again and again.
Le jour se lève, j’ouvre les yeux, lève les paupières,
J’ai peine à émerger, oublier les douleurs d’hier.
J’erre dans mes songes, mais je ne gère pas
Les secondes qui me rongent mais ne me laissent pas le choix.
Frightened by the unknown
What about the sens of it all ?
What about when i’ll be gone ?
Only one life after all.
