Originally, we are not from any land
From no city, from no tribe, from no clan
Hybrids, ephemeral and infinite
Billions of fragments of eternity for a single moment
Who claims to surround us or show us the way?
Wanting to lock us in a box
It's wanting to fit the ocean into a thimble
Both nothing and everything at the same time
Both water and fire at the same time
Both one at a time double
At the same time other, at the same time purple, at the same time blue
Children of big cities, our feet have grown
In different cultures and in several worlds
Ultimately, who knows, we can claim
Maybe several lives, maybe several names
I grew up there, my mind and my body are there
Both fighting against this damn mind
And in search of the greatest traditions of the Orient
Both noise and silence
Don't reduce us to just one part of the prism
Both grain of sand and far too immense
For your damn Manichaeism
Originally, we are from no land
We belong to no throne, we belong to no clan
Only mix with this army
Fucking clones, wouldn't make any sense
This arrow that had been planted in my heart
I pulled it out, and I've already pulled it a thousand times
She keeps coming back to me, I hold no resentment towards her
It is this same arrow which undoubtedly gave me my greatest victories
I never really knew how to fit into a box, no
The more I advance, the less I succeed
I created my space-time, left my chrysalis a thousand times
Less and less in my place, in this binary society
Lack of nuance is the new misery
It pushes us more and more to choose a side
I think I'll always feel the damn need to stand out
I will merge with something different, me
To try to reach for that something greater
Of no class, no tribe, no clan
Of no war, no damn limits
Don't red and black go together?
Even if, a thousand times, I was able to get married
Some shades of gray, bright red and black
I'm just a kid who crosses all these worlds
Standing on the shoulder of a giant
I don't want to be what the era expects of me
Industry, audience, culture or history
I only want the simple drop of water that I am
May it finally dissolve in the waves of the great ocean
