VIRTUAL HUMAN
What have we become ?
Our minds and eyes focused on our phones
Is it what we need ?
Cos we're stream puppets chained by a news feed
I wanna know what it means
To be driven by hypnotic screens
If we don't know what virtual friends have said and done
Will we stumble in endless falls ?
Social networks so life consuming
People swallow swallow everythin'
Serendipity is just a tale
Are we cunt users on our computers ?
What will we become ?
If we don't twit or snap our face on insta
Is this poetry or real life ?
Such a slump of self-love is not so rife
I wanna know what it brings
Happiness in disguise is the new thing
We are stuck and trapped in a flawless reality
Are we so lonely ? It wasn't meant to be
Social networks so life consuming
People swallow swallow everythin'
Serendipity is just a tale
Are we cunt users on our computers ?

T.O.W.U.
Long as we live we must not forget
we're nothin' but trippers on a journey which will end
It seems we gave up on this dyin' ball
but it may not be too late if we listen to the wake-up call
We are guilty of passivity
Fatalism resignation won't save us
Individualism still rules
But now the time has come
For us to stop actin' like fools
We're just one spot in the universe
Just one piece of stone just one piece of dust
We're so little and it's not a curse
Full of selfishness instead of humbleness
Long as we die we must keep in mind
We're about to drown in a sea of our own lies
I hope we bet up on this dyin' world
For that's the only thin' we've got
No more time for being blurred
We keep on buryin' our heads in the sand
As deep as we can in the very broken land
We can't ignore if our star stops shinin'
There'll be no one else to blame
If blindness still remains the same
We're just one spot in the universe
Just one piece of stone just one piece of dust
We're so little and it's not a curse
Full of selfishness instead of humbleness

RUN FOR LIFE
Used to run
After time
Cause walkin'
Was far too slow
Used to run
Used to hide
So that I
Could not be found
Felt my heart pumpin'
And my blood flowin'
Pourin' rains
Were a bless not a bane
Used to run
Against the tide
Ignoring
Still waters
Used to run
Used to lie
To myself
Not to cry
Felt my body fightin'
And my pace slowin'
Final Whistle blew
Turned a deaf ear cause I knew

LE NUAGE
Ça y est c’est fini
Le nuage c'est ainsi a explosé libérant à jamais
Toutes nos données
Nos secrets qu’on croyait enfouis sont désormais dévoilés
Le réseau s’est éteint
Comme jadis la raison de l'humain
Nous ne tricherons plus derrière nos écrans de fumée
Le miroir aux chimères s'est brisé
Lorsque le nuage n'a plus voulu de nos enfantillages
Maintenant tout est su mais le ciel a survécu
Laissant nos gaietés factices tomber des nues
Rompu le charme des paresses qui nous aliénaient sans liesse
Brisée l'addiction qui nous volait sans cesse
Comment être déçus de recouvrer la vue
Vulnérables inconnus
Un nouveau monde a vu le jour
La vérité sans détour est beaucoup moins glamour
Que nos histoires en velours
Nous souhaitions perpétuer éternellement le récit de nos vies
Sans aspérités
Maintenant tout est su mais le ciel a survécu
Laissant nos gaietés factices tomber des nues
Rompu le charme des paresses qui nous aliénaient sans liesse
Brisée l'addiction qui nous volait sans cesse
Comment être déçus de recouvrer la vue
Vulnérables inconnus

SILICON CIRKUS
We were born from your datas
You're gonna be addicted
Dystopia all around
You won't even feel it
From time to time you'll be given a piece of drug
Cause someone's liked or commented a picture
You give more to get more
We influence you by playin'
With your basic human instincts
From the eternal human search for answers
To your need for love
We hack your minds
We log you in to make you pay
Thanks for keepin' your brains wide shut
You're gonna waste your time on your screens
You need your digital dose by any means
We'll play you to your very latest dime
You're gonna lose yourself and truth won't shine

SILICIUM
Ce matin c'est décidé
Je prends le train de la modernité
Vers un exil écervelé
Je fuis la réalité
Je parle à travers un écran aphone
De mon égo atone
J'ai tellement voulu changer ma donne
Dans la vallée du silicium
Je ne rencontre désormais
Que des gens absolument parfaits
Leur beauté filtrée me subjuguait
Plus longtemps je ne pouvais résister
C'est vraiment ici que je rayonne
La futilité on affectionne
Ici l'édulcoré impressionne
Entre amateurs on carillonne
Je parle à travers un écran aphone
De mon égo atone
J'ai tellement voulu changer ma donne
Dans la vallée du silicium
Déguisé
J'ai perdu mon sens aiguisé
De la vérité
Mais suis-je en train de perdre mon humanité
Et ma dignité

SHAGREEN
I only believed in me full of certainties and pride
Cause my wit would turn my life into one easier ride
I had spent so much time writin' my reference work
I even forgot to eat maybe was I too broke ?
Was so sure I'd mesmerize every single one
But no publisher cared so I'd remain unknown
Clearly understood my gift would never bring me fame
So it was time for me to die end of the game
I begged an antique dealer to buy a loaded gun
Instead he offered me a deal with no return
He gave me a charm a magic piece of skin
My every wish would be fulfilled in a twinklin'
But it came at a cost since the die was cast
After each wish the skin would shrink so would mine
If I rub the magic piece of shagreen
My every desire'll be granted
Won't be sad any longer
Cause money is the answer
Will my life be better ?
Will she love me forever ?
Can I buy myself a dream ?
Stop being and appearing
My body falls little by little
If I rub the magic piece of shagreen
My every desire'll be granted
Won't be sad any longer
Cause money is the answer
Will my life be better ?
Will she love me forever ?
Can I buy myself a dream ?
Stop being and appearing
My body falls apart
Thus began the fury tale since the deal had been sealed
But sores remained open though many lives I lived
Didn't wanna be hurt in my little time left
Money couldn't buy love my clock was tickin' fast
Hopin' for a soft lull I wandered aimlessly
As luck would have it met the one such perfect chemistry
One last wish this was it too skinny was my skin
She would live a full life my end was comin'
Cause all came at a cost when the die was cast
After each wish the skin had shrunk so had mine
If I rub the magic piece of shagreen
My every desire'll be granted
Won't be sad any longer
Cause money is the answer
Will my life be better ?
Will she love me forever ?
Can I buy myself a dream ?
Stop being and appearing
My body falls little by little
If I rub the magic piece of shagreen
My every desire'll be granted
Won't be sad any longer
Cause money is the answer
Will my life be better ?
Will she love me forever ?
Can I buy myself a dream ?
Stop being and appearing
My body falls apart
