Translation of Vrai from French to English
What do you think? We're real, yeah, even if it annoys you
The heart is so cold that I write this with an ice pick
Down here we no longer see the sun, even the young shout at the news
You feel so alone in the jungle like a wild beast
You try to be normal in a world that makes no sense
Why hurt yourself, others already do it so well
We can see each other in the dark with the certainty
That the truest mirror is found in solitude
You're lost in the flames so you burn at full speed
By lowering your weapons, you find charm in sadness
You feel like you're crazy, but it's clear and obvious
The television plays clarinet scores
There's not much left to move you, lost in a black hole
Human in a suit, we kill each other for power
If you've lost faith, can God blame you?
Life is about making choices that lead to the same corridor
You try to smile to keep the flame alive
Even if nurturing hope makes the heart vile
Deep inside you, there are things impossible to heal
So you drag your neuroses like chains on your wrists
You grew up without guidance with a cruel lack of attention
Sometimes you lacked air but you know the song
I saw your soul and you in eternal duality
Not born under the same star but they talk to you about equality
You no longer know which foot to dance on, they know nothing about you
They advise you to move forward but they're just limping dogs
Couldn't care less, they finger themselves with their fake empathy
They deserve a bat to their capital sympathy
Fog over the city, empty gaze, you look jaded
I tell myself that in another life we surely crossed paths
You're always at an impasse, you search for meaning in vain
The more time passes, the more alone you are when you think about it
We hit hard like Hornet, screw fate's blows man
We'll do everything to recover, stop listening to their nonsense
We're too real, too real, I know it tests you
When you're absent from yourself, that's when I sometimes find myself
You're always in the blizzard, you adapt in public
They say you're weird but you're rather unique
You wanted to please too much, it made you unstable
But the gaze of others, it passed a stage
You don't lack ambition but often you give up
You question everything when you find answers
They put you on the list, you're there, you didn't sign up
Down here you're not sad just a bit resigned
Misery makes you humble, misery makes you humble
But it doesn't fill the belly, but it doesn't fill the belly
Happiness is in simple things
Misery is in empty things
We slalom as best we can, between hate and bad days
Salam to those who do their best, who pray to God for love
Here to find your place, I know it's not a given
Either they put you in a box or they put you in the same basket
It's the heart that speaks, it's okay if you don't have the words
I find your silences beautiful engraved on your skin
It's okay if you don't have the words
It's the heart that speaks
I find your silences beautiful engraved on your skin
