My parents, oh my dear parents

I didn't tell you anything all this time

My parents, oh my dear parents

My school, my battle song

Under the laughter of my classmates

I hid my scratches

They spat in my face

They loved breaking records

They hit me even harder

My parents, oh my dear parents

I didn't tell you anything all this time

I was the loser, I was the idiot

Hung on the coat rack

I prayed to be left alone

I was the target of the whole school

So I always stayed alone

And it served me right

My parents, oh my dear parents

I didn't tell you anything all this time

Little needle between my fingers

I mutilated my forearms

The harm I could do to myself

My young suicidal urges

Today the grass has grown back

Life has come to take revenge

The sun has decimated you

Even if the wounds have remained

Engraved at the bottom of each page

My school, my battle song

My parents, oh my dear parents

You know everything now

My parents, oh my dear parents

SONG MEANING

“Chant De Bataille” is anything but a typical fight song. Through candid storytelling, Tryo pulls us into the secret world of a teenager who braves relentless bullying at school while keeping a brave face at home. The lyrics unveil a hidden routine of mockery, physical attacks, and self-harm, creating a raw portrait of isolation. Yet the song is not only a confession to “mes chers parents” but also a victory cry: with time, the grass grows back, the sun rises, and life itself retaliates against the darkness.

Listening feels like reading a diary that flips from pain to empowerment. Each verse transforms the school corridor into a battlefield, the singer’s scars into medals, and his silence into a rallying anthem for anyone who has ever been singled out. It is an invitation to confront past hurts, speak up, and discover that healing – although it leaves permanent marks – can still bloom into unexpected strength.
