Lyrics

J'étais tout lourd, tout cassé, tout corrompu
Par la weed et le temps passé en continu
À te courir après
Sans savoir à quoi tu ressemblais
La mine à sec et les cartouches vidées
L’air dans la tête mais rien sur le papier
Sauf quelques mots
Aussi engageants qu’un verre d’eau
Le poids du superflu
J’ai tourné autour des mots pendant des plombes
L'électron près du noyau poursuit sa ronde
Ni ne dérape
Ni ne le touche ni ne s’en échappe
Avoir si souvent pensé t’avoir trouvé
Dans le verbe lisse et le style bien trempé
Me faisait continuer
Mais jamais je ne ressentais
Le poids du superflu
C’est l’histoire d’une défaite non résolue
La soustraction de l’avoir sur le voulu
Sur ce qui aurait pu
C’est l’histoire de ta non-venue
Tu t’es pas laissée coucher sur le papier
Qui sait c’qui en serait sorti
C’qui en serait né, à mon avis
Quelque chose qui aurait porté
Le poids du superflu
Le poids du superflu

Lyrics translation

I was all heavy, all broken, all corrupt
By the weed and the time spent continuously
Running after you
Without knowing what you looked like
Dry mine and empty cartridges
The air in the head but nothing on the paper
Except a few words
As engaging as a glass of water
The weight of the superfluous
I turned around the words during leadings
The electron near the nucleus continues its round
Nor skid
Neither touches nor escapes
So often I thought I'd found you
In the verb smooth and well-soaked style
Made me continue
But I never felt
The weight of the superfluous
This is the story of an unsolved defeat
The subtraction of having the wanted
About what could have
It's the story of your non-coming
You didn't get laid on paper.
Who knows who would have come out
Who would have been born of it, in my opinion
Something that would have worn
The weight of the superfluous
The weight of the superfluous
