"Je m'aperçois que vieillir, c'est savoir discerner la part d'absence, absente de chaque nouveauté." (Yves Simon, La dérive des sentiments) Parce que les êtres ne sont pas interchangeables, même si nous croyons un temps gommer la douleur qui nous vrille le coeur en nous élançant à corps perdu vers de nouveaux horizons.
Ship to shore, do you read me anymore,
This line is bad, and fading,
Ship to shore, answer my call,
Send me a signal, a beacon to bring me home;
I have been to see the world,
tasted life at every turn,
And all the time,
Your face came back to haunt me;
Day by day the feeling grew,
I know I'm still in love with you,
The further that I go,
The more I know it, I wanna show it,
Ship to shore, do you read me anymore,
This line is bad, and fading,
Ship to shore, answer my call,
Send me a signal, a beacon to bring me home;
Moving fast, all systems go,
You and I had time to grow,
Before there was a breakdown in transmission;
How I wish that we could turn,
The clock back to the days when,
We were lovers in the true sense,
Of the meaning, you must believe me,
Ship to shore, do you read me anymore,
This line is bad, I'm drowning,
Ship to shore, answer my call,
Send me a signal, a beacon to bring me home;
Ship to shore, ship to shore, ship to shore...
I cannot believe my eyes,
But I think I see a light;
You are everything I've always,
Wanted in my life.
I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship, has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
I said there is no reason for my fear
Cause I feel so secure when we're together
You give my life direction
You make everything so clear
And even as I wander
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might
And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever
Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crashing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore
My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I've been running round in circles in my mind
And it always seems that I'm following you, girl
Cause you take me to the places that alone I'd never find
And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window on a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might
And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever
Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crashing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore
You had a dream, you wanted better
You were sick of all the holes in your sweater
You looked to me and wondered whether
I was the lamppost to which you were tethered
I'm lookin' at you, and you're lookin' at me
But the glimmer in your eyes is sayin' you wanna leave
You say you don't mean what you're sayin' to me
But the glimmer in your eyes is telling me other things
I don't wanna get undressed
For a new person all over again
I don't wanna kiss someone else's neck
And have to pretend it's yours instead
I took the train to see my mother
I look across the tracks to see you with another
There's nothin' worse than seein' your lover
Moving on while you still suffer
I'm lookin' at you, and you're lookin' at me
But the glimmer in your eyes is sayin' you wanna leave
You say you don't mean what you're sayin' to me
But the glimmer in your eyes is telling me other things
I don't wanna get undressed
For a new person all over again
I don't wanna kiss someone else's neck
And have to pretend it's yours instead
And I don't wanna learn another scent
I don't want the children of another man
To have the eyes of the girl that I won't forget
I won't forget
I don't wanna get undressed
For a new person all over again
I don't wanna kiss someone else's neck
And have to pretend it's yours instead
I don't wanna get undressed
For a new person all over again
A place where nobody dared to go The love that we came to know They call it Xanadu (The days you cried can't be denied) And now, open your eyes and see What we have made is real We are in Xanadu (The dream in you, they offer you)

Now that I'm here, now that you're near In Xanadu Now that I'm here, now that you're near In Xanadu Xanadu
J'ai vu sur ma route plein de paysages Avec des mots je peins des images Sortie de ma cage, montée d'un étage Aujourd'hui je plane dans les nuages
Et je laisse la vie m'emporter, Et je laisse ma plume me porter, C'est pas si facile de tourner la page.
Quand le présent m'échappe Et que le passé me traque Je soupire pour dire "dommage" Je m'arrête un moment, juste pour une chanson Et je rattrape le temps volage
Et je laisse la vie m'emporter, Et je laisse ma plume porter Mes joies et mes peines Et je laisse la vie m'emporter, Et je laisse ma plume me porter, J'entends cette voix qui m'appelle
Pour pardonner les mots muets, Le temps coule dans le sablier Pour oublier, ne pas plier, J'avance sans savoir où je vais.
J'essaie de tourner la page J'essaie de tourner la page J'essaie de tourner la page J'essaie de tourner la page Tourner la page J'essaie de tourner la page
Ivre comme un poète, libre comme une mouette, J'accompagne les solitaires au large Dans un océan de rage, sous le beau temps ou l'orage, Je dépose mon encre et je nage
Et je laisse la vie m'emporter, Et je laisse ma plume me porter, C'est pas si facile de tourner la page
A ceux qui m'écoutent et qui d'eux-mêmes sont otages, J'écris pour vous dire "courage". A ceux qui m'écoutent même lorsque je doute Je chante merci je vous aime quand je suis lâche
Et je laisse la vie m'emporter, Et je laisse ma plume porter Mes joies et mes peines Et je laisse la vie m'emporter, Et je laisse ma plume me porter, J'entends cette voix qui m'appelle
Pour pardonner les mots muets, Le temps coule dans le sablier Pour oublier, ne pas plier, J'avance sans savoir où je vais.
J'essaie de tourner la page J'essaie de tourner la page J'essaie de tourner la page J'essaie de tourner la page J'essaie de tourner la page Tourner la page
J'ai vu sur ma route plein de paysages Avec des mots je peins des images J'ai vu sur ma route plein de paysages Avec des mots je peins des visages J'ai vu sur ma route plein de paysages Avec des mots je rends hommage ❤️
Pagaie, pas gai
Sur cette vieille Loire
Pagaie, pas gai
T'arriveras nulle part
Héron. Héron
Là-haut, guetteur
Vois-tu, vois-tu ailleurs?
Bout d'bois, bout d'bois
Beau caoutchouc
Flotte-moi, flotte-moi
Plus loin qu'chez nous
Baignoire
Tu m'as menti
Ailleurs, ailleurs c'est comme ici
Rame, rame. Rameurs, ramez
On avance à rien dans c'canoë
Là-haut
On t'mène en bateau
Tu n'pourras jamais tout quitter, t'en aller
Tais-toi et rame
J'm'en vais
Mais l'eau est lasse
Chaumont
Langeais
À peine Amboise
Amour, cordon, ficelle serrée
Lâchez, lâchez: j'veux m'en aller
Rame, rame. Rameurs, ramez
On avance à rien dans c'canoë
Là-haut
On t'mène en bateau
Tu n'pourras jamais tout quitter, t'en aller

An hini a garan, gwechall bihan er gêr
Pa oamp tostig an eil, an eil ouzh egile
Va c'halon ne gare, gare nemet unan
Pa oan bihan er gêr an hini a garan
An hini a garan, 'm eus kollet da viken
'Mañ degouezhet pell ha ne zistroio ken
Ha setu ma kanan, kanan keti ketañ
Ha setu ma kanan d'an hini a garan
An hini a garan, un deiz 'n eus va losket
Aet eo d'ar broioù pell, d'ur vro n'an'vezan ket
Aet eo d'ar broioù pell da c'hounit e vara
There used to be a time
I wore my heart upon my sleeve
There used to be a time
I'd show my gentle side to anyone
Through these years of wandering
I know I've been deceived
Through these years of wandering
And every time you try to hurt me
You know you'll only hurt yourself
And every time you try to hurt me
I know you'll be the one to suffer
When you think you're hurting someone
A little of you
A little of me
A little of you
Is hurting someone
Don't tell me I'm the only one
'Cause I don't need that space
Don't ask for love
I'll throw it back in your face
All of these promises
Were only made to break
All of these promises

A little of me
A little of you

Meus passos seguem um destino traçado
Nesse momento, estão desacelerados
Na espera que alcance o meu caminho
Pensei que fosse nosso, eu pensei
Espero mais um dia ou, quem sabe, um mês
Espero mais um dia, uma vida talvez
Eu ainda me encontro no mesmo lugar
E, se você quiser, te espero uma vida a mais
Às vezes, sinto sua falta mas sei
Que estou na direção correta, eu sei
Pressentimentos, talvez sexto sentido
Te vejo comigo, outra vez
Espero mais um dia ou, quem sabe, um mês
Espero mais um dia, uma vida talvez
Eu ainda me encontro no mesmo lugar
E, se você quiser, te espero uma vida a mais
E vai valer a pena, é claro que eu sei
A recompensa que eu sempre sonhei
Cada minuto sinto que é mais real
Ganhar seu beijo é o meu desejo
Espero mais um dia ou, quem sabe, um mês
Espero mais um dia, uma vida talvez
Eu ainda me encontro no mesmo lugar
E, se você quiser, te espero uma vida a mais
Uma vida a mais
Welcome to where time stands still
No one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
Just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the same thing every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, No windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred
Sleep my friend and you will see
That dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in this cage
Can't they see it's why my brain says Rage
Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Build my fear of what's out there
Cannot breathe the open air
Whisper things into my brain
Assuring me that I'm insane
They think our heads are in their hands
But violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well
He's getting better, can't you tell?
No more can they keep us in
Listen, damn it, we will win
They see it right, they see it well
But they think this saves us from our hell
Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Fear of living on
Natives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air
Got some death to do
Mirror stares back hard
Kill, it's such a friendly word
Seems the only way
For reaching out again
On oublie tout, tous les barrages qui nous empêchaient d'exister Quelque chose de neuf a tout changé, quelque chose et ça m'fait avancer On oublie tous les gens, tous les naufrages, tous les bateaux touchés coulés Je n'sais pas comment ça s'est passé Je n'sais pas pourquoi j'ai plus peur d'aimer
Elle dit "j'imagine des musiques qui se dansent" Pour toi Elle dit "j'imagine des mots dans le silence" Pour toi Des jours et des vies où la nuit recommence comme ça Encore une fois
Et on démarre une autre histoire Et on démarre une autre histoire Mais ça c'est une autre histoire
On oublie tout, tous les nuages qui nous cachaient la vérité Tous les vents du large sont déchaînés Tous les vents, et ça m'fait pardonner On oublie tous les jours tous les mirages comme un soleil qui s'est couché Je n'sais pas comment ça s'est passé Je n'sais pas pourquoi j'ai plus peur d'aimer
Elle dit "j'imagine des musiques qui se dansent" Pour toi Elle dit "j'imagine des mots dans le silence" Pour toi Des jours et des vies où la nuit recommence comme ça Encore une fois
Et on démarre une autre histoire Et on démarre une autre histoire Mais ça c'est une autre histoire
Mais ça c'est une autre histoire Et on prend un nouveau départ Et on démarre une autre histoire Et on prend un nouveau départ En laissant faire le hasard C'est une autre histoire
Stranger things
We're like, we're like a stranger things (very far)
We're stranger things (dream of places at)
'Cause that's just who we are
We used to run around this ghost town
Always thinking out loud
Are we gonna get out
I remember
We dream of places that we could go
Castles with the strange glow
People that we don't know
I remember
We left a life
That's ordinary from the start
We looked for stranger things
'Cause that's just who we are
Found me the edge of something beautiful and loud
Like I'm picturing now
Castles glitter under Spanish skies
But I'm just looking out for you tonight
Snow white mountains in a foreign state
Tell me someday we'll get there
Someday
Someday
I see a Technicolor shadow
Underneath your window
Just in case you don't know
I can see it
You cast an unfamiliar day glow
Different than what I know
Shining like a halo
I can feel it
We turned our back on ordinary from the start
We looked for stranger things
'Cause that's just who we are
Found me the edge of something beautiful and loud
Show me the sky falling down
Castles glitter under Spanish skies
But I'm just looking out for you tonight
Snow white mountains in an ancient place
Tell me someday we'll get there
Someday
Someday
A stranger things
We're like, we're like a stranger things (very far)
We're stranger things (dream of places at)
'Cause that's just who we are
...
Safe with me, safe with me, safe with me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Safe with me, safe with me, safe with me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't know why I get so messed up
In my head, but
I keep putting up fences
Anything to keep away from the truth
Maybe I've been going too hard
Doing too much
Tryna drown out my senses
I don't know what I been trying to prove
I want somebody to say to me
"Come lay with me, you're safe with me"
I want someone to come through for me
Hold tight to me, finally
I want somebody to wrap me up in the middle of the night, yeah
Stand tough, tell me everything's alright
Who'll say to me, oh, say to me
"You're safe with me", tell me, "You'll be safe"
Safe with me, safe with me, safe with me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Tell me, "You'll be safe with me"
Safe with me, safe with me, safe with me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Safe with me, safe with me, safe with me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Tell me, "You'll be safe with me"
Safe with me, safe with me, safe with me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
People tell me I'm a fighter
A survivor
No, I don't suffer fools like
I never been the type to get lonely, yeah
But being young, it kinda gets old
Kinda gets cold
Always keeping it cool, yeah
There's a side of me that they don't see
I want somebody to say to me
"Come lay with me, you're safe with me"
I want someone to come through for me
Hold tight to me, finally
I want somebody to wrap me up in the middle of the night, yeah
Stand tough, tell me everything's alright
Who'll say to me, oh, say to me
"You're safe with me", tell me, "You'll be safe"

Safe with me, safe with me, safe with me
I lie here with the maggots
Waiting for the rain
Covered in ash and dirt
I never seem to learn
Come wash it all away
I can't change what I won't admit
I can't remember if I won't forget
So pull the skin back from my bones
Annihilate me
Come nail me to my throne
Crown my head in shame
Covered in ash and dirt
I never seem to learn
Come nail me to my throne
I'm the king of suffering
(I'm the king of suffering)
I've tried to break the habit
I've learned to love the pain
And I can't change what I won't admit
I feel the vicious cycle start again
So pull the skin back from my bones
Annihilate me
Come nail me to my throne
Crown my head in shame
Covered in ash and dirt
I never seem to learn
Come nail me to my throne
I'm the king of suffering
Annihilate me
Annihilate me
Annihilate me
So pull the skin back from my bones
Annihilate me
Come nail me to my throne
Crown my head in shame
Covered in ash and dirt
I never fucking learn
Come nail me to my throne
I'm the king of suffering
The king of suffering
Annihilate me
Annihilate me
Annihilate me
I'm the king of suffering
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell
Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found? The same old fears
Wish you were here
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found? The same old fears
Wish you were here
We were so bright
Standing in the sunlight
Never got burnt, we were alright
Had that easy kind of love and I let it in
For a moment
Felt like we were floating
Baby, I swear, we were golden
It was easy, natural as breathing air
And when the sky went dark
You think I would have known
Before we let it get this far
I should have let you go
Now I gotta crawl outta love
Now I gotta crawl outta love
It's so fucking easy to fall in
But now that this ain't what you promised
And tell me how to crawl outta love
Tell me how to–
Now I gotta crawl outta, crawl outta love
Tell me how to–
Now I gotta crawl outta, crawl outta love
Got your words right
Always knew what to say in our fights
Look at us now, hard as I try
I get halfway up the wall and you pull me down
And when the sky went dark
You think I would have known
Before we let it get this far
I should have let you go
Now I gotta crawl outta love
Now I gotta crawl outta love
It's so fucking easy to fall in
But now that this ain't what you promised
Tell me how to crawl outta love
Now I gotta crawl outta, crawl outta love
Tell me how to–
Now I gotta crawl outta, crawl outta love
Crawl outta, crawl outta
Crawl outta, crawl outta love
Crawl outta, crawl outta
And when the sky went dark
You think I would have known
Before we let it get this far
I should have let you go
Now I gotta crawl outta love
Now I gotta crawl outta love
It's so fucking easy to fall in
But now that this ain't what you promised
Tell me how to crawl outta love
Now I gotta–
Tell me how to crawl outta, crawl outta love
Tell me how to–
Now I gotta crawl outta, crawl outta love
Time, yeah I keep wasting all my time
Yeah I keep trying to unwind-wind-wind
Why am I falling so behind?
I don't know what to say
And I don't know what to do
When you're falling out of love
When there's nothing else to lose
Except for time
Yeah I keep wasting all my time
I'm not okay, I'm not okay, I'm not okay
But I keep slipping
I'm not okay, I'm not okay, I'm not okay
But I keep slipping
But I keep slipping down
Yeah, we finally found a place to dwell
Could this be heaven? Feels like hell
Can I move on? It's hard to tell
Will someone tell me?
You wanna sail away
Out of darkness out of pain
Do you wanna really know how to
How to listen to your soul?
It just takes time
Yeah I keep wasting all my time
I'm not okay, I'm not okay, I'm not okay
But I keep slipping
I'm not okay, I'm not okay, I'm not okay
But I keep slipping
But I keep slipping down
Yeah I'm slipping down, away
Know I wanna talk to you
Roll around and walk with you
Stop hitting my heart
I won't quit I won't stop
Climbing over the top of you
Stop hitting my heart
I won't quit I won't stop
Climbing over the top
I'm climbing over the top of you
I won't quit I won't stop
Climbing over the top of you
I won't quit I won't stop
Climbing over the top of you
I'm not okay, I'm not okay
But I keep slipping down
We used to be giants
When did we stop?
Just say the word and I'll be yours
You know I never forgot
The hope and the hurt
Has lived inside of me
But there's gold in the dirt
I never took the time to see
But I knew of its worth
When you walked beside of me
And my hand fit in yours
Like a bird would find the breeze
We used to be giants
When did we stop?
Just say the word and I'll be yours
You know I never forgot
We were the song in the silence
But time catches up
Just say the word and I'll be yours
You know I never forgot
I knew from the start
You'd be the one to set me free
That day in the park
When the hurt would hide from me
Those eyes used to know me, it's been way too long
You are the moon and the stars, and all they gaze upon
Time won't ever move slowly, what you waiting on?
What you waiting on?
We used to be giants
When did we stop?
Say the word and I'll be yours
You know I never forgot
We were the song in the silence
But time catches up
Just say the word and I'll be yours
You know I never forgot
Darling
Just say you will
Will you remember those times?
That I have held until
Tonight
If you say you will
I'll leave it all behind
Don't you remember those times?
We used to be giants
So, when did we stop?
Just say the word and I'll be yours
You know I never forgot
We were the song in the silence
But time catches up
Just say the word and I'll be yours
You know I never forgot
We used to be giants
Giants

I love you

No matter what I do (Woo!)
All I think about is you
Even when I'm with my boo
Boy, you know I'm crazy over you
No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when I'm with my boo
You know I'm crazy over you
I met this chick and she just moved right up the block from me
And uh, she got the hots for me
The finest thing my hood done seen
But oh no, oh no
She got a man and a son though
But that's okay 'cause I
Wait for my cue and just listen, play my position
Like a shortstop, pick up e'rything mami hittin'
And in no time, I plan to make this one here mine
And that's for sure 'cause I
I never been the type to break up a happy home, but uh
There's somethin' 'bout baby girl I just can't leave alone
So tell me, Ma, what's it gonna be?
She said: ("You don't know what you mean to me")
No matter what I do (Woo!)
All I think about is you (Uh-huh)
Even when I'm with my boo
Boy, you know I'm crazy over you
No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when I'm with my boo
You know I'm crazy over you
I see a lot, and you look, and I never say a word
I know how niggas start actin' trippin' out here about they girls
And there's no way
Nelly gon' fight over no dame
As you can see, but I
I like your steez, your style, your whole demeanor
The way you come through and holla
And swoop me in his two-seater
Now that's gangsta
And I got special ways to thank ya
Don't you forget it
But uh, it ain't that easy for you to pack up and leave him
But uh, you and dirty got ties for different reasons
I respect that, and right before I turn to leave
She said: ("You don't know what you mean to me")
No matter what I do (Woo!)
All I think about is you (Uh-huh)
Even when I'm with my boo
Boy, you know I'm crazy over you
No matter what I do
All I think about is you
Even when I'm with my boo
You know I'm crazy over you
Sing it for me, K!
