Droit devant 03:08
I feel troubled There are too many things to do I know I have to hurry I am standing here You helped me realize I can't give up If there's no fog anymore I'll open my eyes Chorus: Now I [can see what is beyond this never-ending path And it's already time To say goodbye But we'll meet again someday As an old friend told me Je n'ai qu'à regarder droit devant I will chase tomorrow When I'm done With what I'm doing now] [Chorus]
2.
We've been walking for years together And our bonds are stronger But sometimes seem so fragile Chorus: [I can never feel alright When you're far away from me I want mornings to be bright I wanna feel your light Sometimes you seem so empty At home you take it easy] I think there's something that's not right And it's yet to be defined For today and tomorrow Don't take everything for granted We'll find ways so we be fine And I will still enjoy days by your side Seasons do not affect the way You, look at me, your bright smile Keeps me always addicted [Chorus] I think something's not right But things will be alright And it's yet to be defined for today and tomorrow don't take everything for granted we'll find ways so we be fine fine fine I will enjoy days by your side
3.
The first day after you told me these things I didn't speak, I only recalled you closed the door The house was losing its warm atmosphere And I wondered why you left me alone Without notice You didn't care about my feelings You just dumped me I walked in the streets I was not thinking clear, hardly changing my mind The places we used to go together lost their colors Disappearing in the dark Chorus : [Very slowly, I'm trying to stand by myself Looking for a new place to rest But it's no use cause I'll Never find you anywhere Now that everything is broken There's nothing to repair anymore I just can't stop this pain So I'll walk alone ‘till the end] The last day, before you took your last breath We met again, you finally told me all the truth Your curse made, you so much pain to endure You broke away, so that you were not a Burden for me The second time this story ended Was so painful, and all that time I didn't look at you, only watching myself I don't know how to start over I think I will stay now, In the darkness forever [Chorus x2]
4.
Surrounded, by events I can't understand By people not understanding me I chose to shut myself So blinded, by feelings I can't control By words I cannot say at all Chorus: [Like soap bubble in the air Given an infinite freedom Reflecting what's all around We can see so many colors But if you touch it You're breaking apart You're breaking apart, this fragile life] Unable, to befriend with anybody To give love to someone who may have Any feelings for me This cycle, is bothering me by purpose I might never get out of it if I'm this paranoid [Chorus] Feeling surrounded By things I don't even know Can be so harmful Every bubble's getting shattered looking for A new beginning [Chorus]
5.
La vue reste la même, une vague d'étoiles Déferle sans cesse au travers de ma fenêtre Le vide prend place, depuis que mon monde S'est effondré en tas de poussière Chorus : [Je pourrais dire que mon cœur saigne Je voudrais encore vous serrer contre moi Mais ce n'est qu'un rêve Et aujourd'hui je vais] Fermer les yeux Ma destination, suit le temps qui passe Elle ne prendra pas de sens sans direction Personne à la barre, trouverai-je un jour L'endroit de mon ultime salut [Chorus] Fermer les yeux [Chorus] Dire que je ne ressens plus rien
6.
Every day is like running in circles I wonder if I took the right choices in my life And I look through the window of my daily train I'm spending my time watching the sky Chorus: [I dream I'm a small and light feather, Flying where the wind blows, nothing is material Forget everything about the past When this one-way trip ends] I should know more, about myself So the next months, nothing has really changed I live every single day imprisoned The atmosphere is cold I am so desperate Will somebody come and rescue me? [Chorus] I should know more, about myself Staying like this, so passive, won't ever change anything Fleeing reality is meaningless This light feather will not shock the world Now I think that I should try to face the real world instead I want to retrieve my life [Chorus] I should know more, still [Chorus] I will take over my old self, myself
7.
Lying on the floor, raising my hand to the roof I've been staying like this for long Suddenly my arm hurts, so I'm sitting down Watching the wind, blowing the curtain I'm turning the lights on Stars are moving through the room I feel I am somewhere else So please take my hand and let's stay close together And we start spinning around Chorus: [We're leaving for a ride, oh please tell me how you feel It's just started, there's nothing to fear at all Describe all the colors, from the river of our minds Oh it's so puzzled, can you sort a thing? Would you please pick a new one?] I just closed my eyes, in the middle of the trees Avoiding to knock myself out And it's really dark outside, guess I lost the game I raise my arms, my arms to the sky Somehow I don't feel lost, I will follow the moonlight Be going through this big forest I will be back alright, if I know where I am next time You wanna play with me [Chorus] No end to this fantasy, it's always another thing All these random thoughts might cease If you turn off the machine We had fun together, but now I must let you live The life you always really wish This is our goodbye but please never forget about me Now I will play alone I'm leaving for a ride, oh I'll tell you how I feel It's just started, there's nothing to fear at all Describe all the colors, that I leave to you tonight Now everything's clear, no need to sort a thing Life's taking another path Life's taking another path Life's taking another path
8.
Leaving on a never-ending journey To find a treasure that only I know its existence Exploring all the edges of the world I have so little clues but I cannot give up (not give up) Pre-Chorus: [So many miles, across so many places Sometimes I wonder if I know what I'm really Looking for, looking for So many tears, shed from my sleepy eyes And I don’t know where my home is I left it a long time ago] Chorus: [Under this sky filled with clouds I feel so little And nobody can see how I'm not alright Not alright, and I shout so my voice reaches me Spread out and resonate through the seas] Despite my loneliness I still live Precious memories of people I met in the way I'm sure that my journey will never end So I get on my boat and sail to unknown seas (unknown seas) [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus x2] And the day I find what really matters to me I will hang on to this ray of hope Treasure it for the rest of my life
9.
Summer light goes through the city, shining On everyone's hopes to fulfill, their unreachable dreams I try to find my place in this new world All I knew was emptiness and unfortunate days I don't know if it's worthy to go on If I don't take this chance now I wanna try to change myself For that I might sacrifice many things What will be left of me when you had already gone away Chorus: [Everywhere I go I'm still facing your shadow Hurting me inside, the time has stopped I'm not alright, please let my heart fall in love again And I know the cure is deep inside me Will I be guilty if I take it? But you are not here to answer me, feelings evolve slowly] I am slowly trying to break my shell So I can open feelings I shut down long ago I know living is new discoveries That can make us much better I wanna try to change myself My dream was to share with someone I love But now I am still missing something Taking long to come back [Chorus] I knew it would be hard to move It was not supposed to be that much Sometimes I think it's impossible And if I just make one step forward It would mean I grow up a little I'll finally watch the light and the hope Which was waiting for me for so long [Chorus]

Passengers 04:34
Sky looks like, we live inside a painting It feels so strange to see this face After this many years Tu passais, en traversant la grande forêt Et aujourd'hui, on a compris Que tout s'est effacé Chorus : [We are passengers renting this place, yeah We are stopping by for a little while Nous sommes des passagers de ce train quotidien Qui nous emmène loin de nos passés] L'endroit de mon enfance a tout changé Et nous aussi, on a grandi sans compter les années Can't avoid regrets we gotta still walk forward At the end of the path we'll be flying over there [Chorus] I didn't forget times we spent together Everything evolved soon we'll pass our turn We sure gonna cry when comes our very end Please never forget about us, you will keep your promise It's time to say goodbye so we'll walk away And disappear, and disappear, disappear (disparais, disparais) [Chorus]

Falling snow 06:47
Many stars are travelling across the universe To find a place to be reborn To life, discover, sharing and learning And try to live with each other, together Was a cold winter, sky covered in white Stars were falling and I was watching the scene When suddenly I heard something fall Somewhere near the potato field When I was getting closer it was getting warmer And the light seemed to embrace me Then I saw it was a little star It began to tell me its story It was supposed to land into a new soul But it lost control when arriving The crash made it wouldn't last very longer Before disappearing, said it was happy To have met me before dying out When the sky went dark, was alone again I didn't know what to do Tears would never stop But I knew I would never forget this instant Many years later, I came back near the potato field A little boy was holding my hand It was warm like the one, I felt long time ago In a night of falling snow
