"Hi, if you clicked this file
You surely have memory gaps"
I wrote it because I couldn't access the mail and thought:
"I don't remember the passwords, let alone history"
In a few years, I will forget who I am
What I think, what I like, what I hate
In fact, here you are like the guy from Memento
Okay, listen to this piece and the rhymes inside

Don't be afraid of aging
The age you show is attractive, see Persepolis
Don't be afraid of being out of tune
Not the pop stars, the bells ring for centuries
In a world where everyone competes
You don't ride, mount Pegasus' saddle
And remember to honor silence
Pretending to leave a flower on Marcel Marceau's grave

You lose your edge, that's how it goes
But your memory already improves with a click
You lose your edge, that's how it goes
But your memory already improves with a click

Don't worship modernity, it's plastic
In the '30s, modernity was the swastika
Here there's tension, you can't breathe, you gasp
It's a summer cruise but in the hold of an Admiral
Travel by car, unicycle, and glider
Not in your room with your finger on the atlas
Souls suffer because they never go anywhere
And then when they could, nowhere

In the evening, turn off your phone
It's a device, in fact, it's taking away your smile
Respect the mass, but that of your body
Not the one that blames politicians and is a mess
Accept pain to appreciate life
Like swallowing a coal to appreciate pizza
Ridiculous, thinking of those worse off doesn't make you feel better
Unless you're cynical

You lose your edge, that's how it goes
But your memory already improves with a click
You lose your edge, that's how it goes
But your memory already improves with a click

Remember: your sixth sense is guilt
And everyone takes advantage of it at least once
So it's okay to be open to others
But at the entrance, at least put a door
Defend yourself and defend culture, not by going to the square
But by going to the square to go to the cinema or theater
When they closed the Odeon, everyone protested
Yeah, and in a year no one had gone there
It's not true that your diploma is useless
It's useless to discuss glutes in a thong
Not everyone loves you, they distrust the icon
Become a saint and you'll be targeted like Nicholas
Listen to what you like, not what others like, that pleases
Forget Karma, anyone got away with it
If they make you mayor, thank them, inaugurate the square, kiss
To see who surprises

You lose your edge, that's how it goes
But your memory already improves with a click
You lose your edge, that's how it goes
But your memory already improves with a click
You lose your edge, that's how it goes
But your memory already improves with a click
You lose your edge, that's how it goes
But your memory already improves with a click

Nothing strange if at tea time
I don't think at all about the plate with turkey breast in consommé
Put back in the fridge since yesterday at lunchtime
Nothing strange if to avoid serious misunderstandings
I posted a sign, I don't deny
Of emphatic verses at the white counter
"Remember the plate with turkey breast in consommé"
Nothing strange if now only
They tell me in light black on yellow that in the fridge
The plate with turkey breast in consommé is intact
Nothing strange if when I close the fridge, ice and door
Not only does the light inside dim on the food and go out
But also mine, slowly on the brain
