Like a Rubik's Cube, life is full of facets
You have to rotate the colors, know how to solve the puzzle
Between the greens and the reds, you have to find the connections
Life has many faces and so many connections
We've all wondered where to start
How to avoid mistakes or how to compensate for them
We learned, we failed, and we changed our minds
In the Rubik's Cube, we've all had a thousand lives
I'm supposed to be halfway through what we call existence
I looked ahead, a little behind, I evaluated the distances
And in this complicated journey, I opened all the drawers
There are many lives that fell when I shook my memory

Some good choices to go high
And missed, the hazards
I'm losing this life
But for that one, I'm the laureate
Some good choices to go high
And missed, the hazards
I'm losing this life
But for that one, I'm the laureate

Between heartbeats and flings, beautiful chance and beautiful desires
We did what we could, we've all had a thousand lives
Easy student, a little too scattered
House near the cities, messes up since kindergarten
Models at home and examples in the street
On three or four horizons, I was able to sharpen my view
Nice well-raised son and little snotty-nosed kid
Very annoying teenager and all-around athlete
Tennis player and sprinter, very physical basketball player
Sports teacher, coach, soon to be quadriplegic
Salesman in an office far from their ways and customs
Far from their profitability, their bonuses and suits
Suburban at heart and even aspiring bobo
In love with my wife and of course doting dad

Some good choices to go high
And missed, the hazards
I'm losing this life
But for that one, I'm the laureate
Some good choices to go high
And missed, the hazards
I'm losing this life
But for that one, I'm the laureate

Between heartbeats and flings, beautiful chance and beautiful desires
We did what we could, we've all had a thousand lives
Like a Rubik's Cube, life is full of facets
I tracked the right colors, I burned some hiding places
I didn't look for problems but sometimes they found me
For the spirit of adaptation, I have nothing more to prove
I accumulate existences and I love to live to excess
But who has several lives has several deaths
To mourn some breaths to find joy
Accept being dead already once or twice
For my latest life, I found a beautiful track
I wrote on all fronts, some call me the artist
I have several strings to my pen and I want to make good use of them
In this life and the next, I will not be wiser

Some good choices to go high
And missed, the hazards
I'm losing this life
But for that one, I'm the laureate
Some good choices to go high
And missed, the hazards
I'm losing this life
But for that one, I'm the laureate

Between heartbeats and flings, beautiful chance and beautiful desires
We did what we could, we've all had a thousand lives
