Lyrics
Tous nos échanges
Coulaient de source
Tous nos mélanges
Côtés en Bourse
Tout est brutal
Botté en touche
Tout à l’horizontal
Nos envies, nos amours, nos héros
Je t’ai manqué
Pourquoi tu me visais?
Tout est extrême
Limites et cônes glacés
Tout est idem
Les vitrines, les pôles opposés
Dans les étoiles
Ou sous la douche
Tout à l’horizontal
Nos envies, nos amours, nos héros…
Je t’ai manqué
Pourquoi tu me visais?
Et si l’on disait le contraire
Ou si l’on ne disait rien
Si l’on construisait les phrases à l’envers
Ou si l’on soulevait demain
Qui serait l’adversaire?
Entre nous qui serait le plus malin?
Et si l’on disait le contraire
Ou si l’on ne disait plus rien?
Je t’ai manqué
Pourquoi tu me visais?
Tout est brutal
Botté en touche
Tout à l’horizontal
Nos envies, nos amours, nos héros
Si l’on suivait les voies ferroviaires
Qui aurait le pied marin?
Si l’on sifflait les fonds de théière
Ou si l’on ne sifflait plus !
Qui serait l’adversaire?
Entre nous qui serait le plus malin?
Et si l’on disait le contraire
Ou si l’on ne disait plus rien?
Je t’ai manqué?
Pourquoi tu me visais?
Lyrics translation
All our exchanges
Flowed from spring
All our blends
Stock market sides
Everything is brutal
Kicked in touch
Everything horizontally
Our desires, our loves, our heroes
You missed me.
Why were you targeting me?
Everything is extreme
Frozen boundaries and cones
Everything is the same
Showcases, opposite poles
In the stars
Or in the shower
Everything horizontally
Our desires, our loves, our heroes…
You missed me.
Why were you targeting me?
And if we said otherwise
Or if we didn't say anything
If we built the sentences upside down
Or if we raise tomorrow
Who would be the opponent?
Between us, who would be the smartest?
And if we said otherwise
Or what if we didn't say anything?
You missed me.
Why were you targeting me?
Everything is brutal
Kicked in touch
Everything horizontally
Our desires, our loves, our heroes
If one followed the railway tracks
Who would have the sea foot?
If one whistled the teapot funds
Or if we stopped whistling !
Who would be the opponent?
Between us, who would be the smartest?
And if we said otherwise
Or what if we didn't say anything?
Did you miss me?
Why were you targeting me?
