8:27
The blue sky almost makes the hospital look pretty
Almost
You're 17, almost 17 and a half
A huge lump in your heart
You cross the yard, hoping to meet no one
That it doesn't last long
A pill and that's it
The shame, it will pass
You're like the pierced child that the future will fill
But it's too early for that (but it's too early for that)
Barbara, are you sure?
They explain life to you, around it's bustling
And then there's this sentence they throw in your face
But you're just a whore, that's what happens, yeah
You're not protected and you might be sterile
You should have thought about it
Of course you thought about it (of course you thought about it)
8:50
You leave this room collapsed
Full of guilt

(My flesh, my body)
(My flesh, my flesh)
(My flesh, my flesh)
(My flesh, my body)
(My flesh, my body)
(My flesh, my body)
(My body, my body)

You're 20, 20 is beautiful, isn't it?
Yet you don't know well, zero confidence
You drink too many glasses to feel a little less
You show off, you play the belle, you act as if nothing
But deep down, you see yourself as they look at you
Without value, without future, without sweetness, without pleasure
And you believe that sex is linked to violence
You believe that the essential thing is to save face
If you play well, it passes
When you play well, everything passes
You run forward to not listen to yourself
Not to understand yourself, not even to respect yourself
You cut your hair short, tattoo yourself with nonsense
The small defeats, the parties that degenerate
And the tears at dawn, what can you do about it?

(My flesh, my body)
(My flesh, my flesh)
(My flesh, my flesh)
(My flesh, my body)
(My flesh, my body)
(My flesh, my body)
(My body, my body)

You're 26, the blue sky almost makes the boulevard look pretty
Almost
You're 26, almost 26 and a half
Now you feel ready, you hear yourself resonate
And then give up
Now you listen to yourself (now you listen to yourself)
You know you have the right to let go
And to tell yourself I love you (I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you)
To offer your skin a lot of other memories
Of love, respect, kisses, desire
To offer your skin a lot of other memories
Love, respect, kiss, desire

Without knowing it, I was moving forward
I was moving towards my beloved flesh
Without knowing it, you will move forward
You will move towards your flesh, my darling
Now that we know, we move forward
We move towards our beloved flesh
We move towards our healed flesh
We move towards our flesh

Without knowing it, I was moving forward
I was moving towards my beloved flesh
Without knowing it, you will move forward
You will move towards this flesh, my darling
Now that we know, we move forward
We move towards our beloved flesh
We move towards our healed flesh
We move towards our flesh

(My flesh, my body)
(My flesh, my flesh)
(My flesh, my flesh)
(My flesh, my body)
(My flesh, my body)
(My flesh, my body)
(My body, my body)
