Nobody asked you
We are who we are
Everyone knows it
Perfectly imperfect
And then out of nowhere
You show up
And you're way too talkative
You're too comfortable
When you talk trash
You think that's normal
Your big theories
For you it's vital
To give your opinion
It'd be nice if you'd shut up
It'd do us some good
That would make us happy
No, I'm not mean
But
Watch yourself
When you raise your voice
You and your bad intentions
Watch yourself
When you raise your voice
Just to try
To be right
Watch yourself
That was one word too many
Don't you see
That you're hitting rock bottom
Watch yourself
When you follow the crowd
When it's not
For the right reasons
It's none of your business
What she wears on her legs
Don't you have better things to do
Than to be a problem
All the time
What you call humor
It makes me angry
And I hope that one day
You'll understand
That you were too comfortable
When you were talking trash
It wasn't normal
Your big theories
For you it's vital
To give your opinion
It'd be nice if you'd shut up
It'd do us some good
That would make us happy
No, I'm not mean
But
Watch yourself
When you raise your voice
You and your bad intentions
Watch yourself
When you raise your voice
Just to try
To be right
Watch yourself
That was one word too many
Don't you see
That you're hitting rock bottom
Watch yourself
When you follow the crowd
When it's not
For the right reasons
If you tried
If you tried
Less arrogance
More tolerance
If you tried
To be less narrow-minded
And to show some intelligence
I asked you
If you're going to change
Who else are you going to hurt
We won't ask anymore
Yeah, you'd better
We're starting to lose patience
We're starting to lose patience
Watch yourself
When you raise your voice
You and your bad intentions
Watch yourself
When you raise your voice
Just to try
To be right
Watch yourself
That was one word too many
Don't you see
That you're hitting rock bottom
Watch yourself
When you follow the crowd
When it's not
For the right reasons
Watch yourself
When you raise your voice
You and your bad intentions
Watch yourself
When you raise your voice
Just to try
To be right
Watch yourself
That was one word too many
Don't you see
That you're hitting rock bottom
Watch yourself
When you follow the crowd
When it's not
For the right reasons

bornénarrow-minded / stubborn

Borné is an adjective that means 'narrow-minded', 'stubborn', or 'bigoted'. It describes someone who is unwilling to consider new ideas or change their opinion, often due to a lack of open-mindedness.

In the song, Mentissa uses this word to criticize someone who is overly opinionated and dismissive of others. She sings, "D'être moins borné et de faire preuve d'intelligence" (To be less narrow-minded and to show intelligence), highlighting the contrast between stubbornness and true understanding. It's a powerful and descriptive word that perfectly captures the song's message about tolerance and respect.

Have you ever dealt with someone who just loves to give their opinion, even when nobody asked for it? That's the powerful theme behind Belgian singer Mentissa's song, "Fais Gaffe À Toi," which translates to "Watch Out."

This song is a direct message to anyone who is judgmental, arrogant, and speaks rudely just to be right. Mentissa sings about being perfectly imperfect and accepting herself, only to be confronted by someone who is overly talkative and critical. The lyrics are a final warning, saying, "That was the last straw, you've gone too far." It's a powerful anthem about standing up for yourself, demanding respect, and calling for more tolerance and less arrogance in the world. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the best thing someone can do is simply be quiet.
