Tu t'entremêles et tu restes enfermée
You become entangled and you remain locked away
Et tes sens te dictent que tu veux t'en aller
And your senses tell you that you want to leave
Et leurs rires résonnent et le mal s'amplifie
And their laughter echoes and the pain intensifies
Car leurs rimes te suivent et deviennent ta routine
For their rhymes follow you and become your routine
Car la vie est ailleurs dans un âge lyrique
For life is elsewhere in a lyrical age
Et tes peines s'enfuient, tes tristesses se dissipent
And your sorrows flee, your sadness dissipates
Car la vie est ailleurs et ton amour subsiste
For life is elsewhere and your love survives
Pour un sourire, un songe qui feront qu'il existe
For a smile, a dream that will make it exist
Tu t'entremêles et tu restes enfermée
You become entangled and you remain locked away
Car tes songes te disent que tu es mieux ainsi
For your dreams tell you that you are better this way
Et le monde t'inspire ce que tu redoutais
And the world inspires you with what you feared.
Car les peines des plaisirs, tu aimes mieux éviter
For the pains of pleasure, you'd rather avoid.
Et tu t'entremêles et tu restes enfermée
And you intertwine and remain locked away.
Et tes sens te dictent que tu veux t'en aller
And your senses tell you that you want to leave.
Et le monde t'inspire ce que tu redoutais
And the world inspires you with what you feared.
Car leurs rimes te suivent et deviennent ta routine
For their rhymes follow you and become your routine.
Car la vie est ailleurs dans un âge lyrique
For life is elsewhere in a lyrical age.
Et ce sent meilleur, tu renonces et abdiques
And it feels better, you give up and submit.
Car la vie est ailleurs dans un âge lyrique
For life is elsewhere in a lyrical age.
Et tu gardes tes prières pour des pensées magiques
And you keep your prayers for magical thoughts.
