I saw a part of my life flash before me
Like in an old cinema but I wasn't looking at the screen
My eyes were busy looking at the past
Late on the present, I have a debt with time
I have memories to take away
Moments that I couldn't live in the moment
Answers that I gave automatically
In front of thousands of people, often, the only one absent
It took a little dream, a little faith
For two brothers to end up addicted to adrenaline
My memories I remember, a little dry, a little cold
Like a bread that we forget in the kitchen drawer
Everything mixes in the journey
Being there, I was sometimes also here, so
I saw the whales of Strasbourg and the storks of Tahiti
I saw the look of that little guy in the front row
He reminded me of the one I had when I was in his place
In the end, I think children are a mirror whose glass shows who we were before
I did what I had to do, but I haven't done everything yet
I said what I had to say, but I haven't said everything yet
I had rap in my throat but I haven't coughed it yet
I got close to the moon, but I haven't touched it yet
I will never thank myself enough for keeping my promises
When we look, our career looks like a feat
The fans to a family, the stage to a raft
The tour bus to a rocket and life to a gift
Let us take a run, a truce
Before starting a new book
It took me time to realize the dream
Now, it takes me time to live it
I who grew up in noise, I discover silence
I still hear the echo of the screams that disturb my balance
An immense happiness, a titan adventure
To think that our lucky star was a shooting star
We hoped so much that we brought the sun one evening
I learned, I understood that making choices is disappointing
Our story is unique, I was lied to
In fact, you had to believe it to see it
Months have become years and each morning a new life
And am I in a miracle or a mirage?
Quickly, the trips came to fill the void
I understood that compared to the world my city is just a village
I said thank you a hundred times a day, smiled a thousand times an hour
So much so, that my words of love have lost value
I almost forgot myself focusing on the faults
Until I came to cry with the eyes of others
A double life, but I could never do otherwise
When I stay too much in one of them, suddenly the other one misses me
When they told me to let go, I took it as an insult
I who spent my youth living it like an adult
I almost did too much, for fear of not having done enough
I was almost too real, sometimes alone in my fight
I think back to that girl to whom I gave my bracelet
But Flo knows that if I could, I would have given her my arm
These strangers close, these close ones become strangers
I have amassed great victories and unfulfilled promises
The fireworks of the stadiums, the joys at a thousand an hour
The true support of friends who have made my life theirs
In the middle of this sea of ice, I, I'm dying of heat
No regrets if failure rings and tightens the grip
The artist has become the man, so I speak in prose
To return to not much when it's almost too much
