Solitaire, un peu trop fier pour vivre au présent
Solitary, a little too proud to live in the present
Tu t'demandes à quoi ça sert, passer tout ce temps
You wonder what it's for, spending all this time
Cet arpège est un piège, on en sort comment ?
This arpeggio is a trap, how do we get out of it?
On réfléchit, on assiège et plus seul qu'avant
We think, we besiege and more alone than before
Et plus seul qu'avant
And more alone than before
Tu ratures, tu désespères, cris, chuchotements
You eras, you despair, scream, whispers
Tu tournes en rond, tu t'enterres, tu bois énormément
You go around in circles, you bury yourself, you drink a lot
C'est mauvais, y a rien à faire, cette nuit est un enfer
It's bad, there's nothing to do, tonight is hell
On en sort comment ? Bien plus seul qu'avant
How do we get out of it? Much more alone than before
Bien plus seul qu'avant
Much more alone than before
Cette chanson de pervers, de bons sentiments
This song of perverts, good feelings
Ne veut pas se laisser faire, pour qui tu te prends ?
Don't want to let it happen, who do you think you're doing?
Autour de toi y a la guerre, y'a la faim et la misère
Around you there is war, there is hunger and misery
Tu te ramollis grand frère, tu t'en sors comment ?
You soften big brother, how do you get out of it?
Bien plus seul qu'avant
Much more alone than before
C'est toujours un grand mystère, un secret pesant
It's still a big mystery, a heavy secret.
Tout ce que l'homme peut faire, tout l'acharnement
All that man can do, all the relentlessness
Pour éliminer ses frères, radical et sanguinaire
To eliminate his brothers, radical and bloodthirsty
Il a besoin de tout son talent et plus seul qu'avant
He needs all his talent and more alone than before
Cette image à la frontière d'une femme en blanc
This image on the border of a woman in white
Allongée dans la poussière depuis un moment
Lying in the dust for a while
Y a le décalage horaire, j'aurais mieux fait de me taire
There's the jet lag, I better keep quiet
C'était pas le moment, j'suis plus seul qu'avant
It wasn't the time, I'm more alone than before
J'suis plus seul qu'avant.
I'm more lonely than I used to be
