Précipices Lyrics English Translation by SCH
I’m stressin’ over an album (oh), I’m renegotiating (oh yeah), outside, it reeks of fed-up, inside too
Life’s poisoning me, I’ve seen thorns grow (thorns), among the geraniums and fire fuels their passion
And bad news will always travel slower than good news, no, and good news always digests faster than the others (oh, oh)
I barely speak or not at all, ’cause silence is a language older than all words
And I don’t cry anymore, ’cause these tears will never clean my pain
Watchin’ your face change, let the wrinkles redefine you and bring you closer to the edge
I’m comin’ from far, hardened against my will, I’ve been takin’ risks since I was a kid, as long as my re-mom tells me I’m a man
The world can plunge into darkness, I won’t care about this night and what they’ll want to show me, me, I’ll keep believin’
Hand on my heart, I live like my father: I leave my feelings in the locker room, I’m alone after the show
Always closed off, shorty says I’m made of stone, a little further down, it’s hell
A little further down, it’s hell (oh, oh), I look at the medal, its flip side
I know the set, its underside, I set it, in Antwerp
