Avancer Lyrics in English RIDSA

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Avancer by RIDSA from French to English.

I roamed the streets not knowing where to go

I didn't have a dime, in fact I was doomed

Sleepless nights and dark thoughts, hard to dream

Split family, but tell me who to count on

Mom cries and hides so she won't alarm us

Locked in a world with no way to breathe

I grabbed my bags, yeah, I'm sorry about it

Today everything I have, no, I didn't steal it

No, I didn't steal it

And time goes by, nothing fades

You've got your place next to me

In front of this mirror, I'm getting tired

Without your face, you're not here anymore

I just wanted to move on, find myself

Be able to start over without looking back

Yeah, I admit, I left you, I hurt you

But know that I can't get over it

I left you, I hurt you

I think about it every day, but I don't say it

I ran out of time, I didn't see it coming

So young and yet adult problems to handle

I took the lead without saying I blamed you

Leaving quietly, I left some regrets

I always swallowed it, stayed in the background

Very few memories, just a few pictures

I built myself alone, nobody helped me

And today what I have, no, I didn't steal it

No, I didn't steal it

And time goes by, nothing fades

You've got your place next to me

In front of this mirror, I'm getting tired

Without your face, you're not here anymore

I just wanted to move on, find myself

Be able to start over without looking back

Yeah, I admit, I left you, I hurt you

But know that I can't get over it

I left you, I hurt you

I think about it every day, but I don't say it

I think of you, I'm not far

In your hearts I left

Pieces of us and sorrows

A few tears shed

And the seasons roll by

And our futures take shape

And we should decide

Instead we dodge

I just wanted to move on, find myself

Be able to start over without looking back

Yeah, I admit, I left you, I hurt you

But know that I can't get over it

I left you, I hurt you

I think about it every day, but I don't say it

SONG MEANING

“Avancer” is RIDSA’s heartfelt confession about running toward a brighter future while carrying the weight of yesterday. The French rapper-singer retraces his early days of empty pockets, sleepless nights, and a fractured family that left him feeling cornered. He packs his bags, leaves without a sound, and hustles for every bit of success he now owns—making sure we know he earned it all. Yet behind the victory lies a constant ache: he left loved ones behind, and every achievement is shadowed by guilt and nostalgia.

Through catchy melodies and reflective verses, RIDSA balances hope and remorse. He urges listeners to keep pushing forward, even when it means tough choices, but he also reminds us that progress is sweeter when we heal the wounds we caused along the way. “Avancer” is both a motivational anthem for self-made dreamers and a tender apology letter to the people who mattered most.
