They removed the sun from the "Créteil Soleil" sign
I saw nothing, in the blink of an eye, they took away my dreams
No more landmarks to hold on to, they put my city in mourning
All that's left is my room in embers, erasures of lives too beautiful

I came back to the beautiful place of my ten years
Everything remained frozen, even my childhood room
Nothing has moved, the dust on the parquet
Still the same little balls of shit scattered around that remained
It's good to smell the scent of leftovers
From those nights discovering fire, the net, sex
From those windows from where I saw all promises
From a guy who wishes to make a great feat

I still hear the mother's screams vibrating
On the door, near the bedside table and I piled up dried condoms
I also hear the improvised notes from my keyboard
Where I would promise myself that one day I would play perfectly

Everything is there, the tears still make me slip
On the poorly washed floor of my hasty departure
Everything is there, the stuffed toys pretend not to notice me
Even though they saw me cry all the time
The stained magazines, the torn posters
The failed vocalizations of all my starry afternoons
The frustrated daydreams, the simulated punches
The "shut up" excused, look, everything remained

Except they removed the sun from the "Créteil Soleil" sign
I saw nothing in the blink of an eye, they took away my dreams
No more landmarks to hold on to, they put my city in mourning
All that's left is my room in embers, erasures of lives too beautiful

Ah, there are still the drops of sweat
That flow and dance to Britney at all hours
Ah, there's even still the sound of my fears
Those that came just after they put me in the dark
I still smell the scent of my angry perfume
The one I would put on to embellish all my stories
I still smell the flowers that the singer gave me
The one I imagined myself to be during the big nights
There are even my heels hidden in the bottom drawer
The same one where we find the calendar of a thousand heels
The little papers of first stupid poems
Especially the same drawer with my ambitions times a thousand
I still hear the cries of my misguided prayers
Believing that the angry god could get me out of here
I still hear my heart hurting my body
Thinking it would soothe the smallest of my worries
Everything stayed, I tell you
Everything stayed, I tell you
Everything stayed, I tell you

Except they removed the sun from the "Créteil Soleil" sign
I saw nothing in the blink of an eye, they took away my dreams
No more landmarks to hold on to, they put my city in mourning
All that's left is my room in embers, erasures of lives too beautiful

No more sun, no more sun, no more sun, no more sun, no more sun
No more sun, no more sun, no more sun, no more sun, no more sun

They removed the sun from the "Créteil Soleil" sign
I saw nothing in the blink of an eye, they took away my dreams
No more landmarks to hold on to, they put my city in mourning
All that's left is a sun that reigns over the tracing paper that lingers
