Verse 1
I don't know about you
Maybe I'm the one who's crazy
A little naïve, it's possible
Ultra-sensitive dreamer
I'm told a lot
I don't know about you
I find it hard to believe
That we can let ten losers
Ten morons in suits
Dictate history to us
I don't know about you
But me on earth
I want to act and not be pushed around
I don't know everything but it's so short
I've already made a lot of detours
Chorus 1
So here are my laws, I've set them for myself
Step by step
My ideas, my truth, my reality
That's the way it is
Let me
Let me
Let me
Let me
Verse 2
I don't know about you
Maybe I'm the one going off the rails
But since they know everything about everything
Will I be up to the task?
Damn, it's weighing on my mind
I don't know about you
But I'd like to know
Who will answer the questions?
How much is the deposit
For false hopes
I don't know about you but for me it's clear
Don't let anyone hide my light from me
I don't know everything but it's my life
And I'm moving towards what I've chosen
Chorus 2
So here are my laws, I've set them for myself
Case by case
My ideas, my truth, my reality
That's the way it is
Let me
Let me
Let me
Let me
Verse 3
And it's no secret to anyone
You get through life all on your own
So I don't care about the instructions
From start to finish
All the way
I don't know about you
But I'm outraged
Chorus 3
So here are my laws, I've set them for myself
Step by step
My ideas, my truth, my reality
That's the way it is
Let me
Let me
Let me
Let me

déraillegoes off the rails

Déraille literally means "goes off the rails" (like a train) or "derails". It's an evocative verb that suggests losing control or going crazy.

In the song, Claudio Capéo uses it to question his own sanity and perspective, singing, "C'est peut être moi qui déraille" (Maybe it's me who's going off the rails). This word perfectly captures the feeling of doubt and rebellion against societal norms, making it both interesting and memorable.

Claudio Capéo questions the people who act like they have everything figured out, and decides to trust his own path instead.

He opens by admitting he might be the naive one, maybe even a little crazy, an ultra-sensitive dreamer who's been told so often it's started to feel true. But when it comes to living his own life, he'd rather act than be acted upon, and he's tired of ten unqualified people in suits dictating the story.

The chorus is where he draws the line: these are his own rules, set step by step, built on his own ideas and his own truth. "Laissez-moi" ("let me be") repeats like a refusal to keep explaining himself to anyone.

By the final verses he's blunt about it: no one else can live a man's life for him, so he ignores the instructions from start to finish, all the way down the line. It's a song about choosing self-trust over other people's certainty.
