Description
Sometimes fatigue from reality becomes so intense that you just want to snap your fingers and make it all disappear. Pain, doubts, awkward conversations with yourself. A little magic, a little less logic - and suddenly life seems soft again, like a filter with a +2 warmth setting. An illusion? Of course. But even illusions can sometimes be more helpful than facts.
Here, the truth sounds not like a sentence, but like a magician's trick - insinuating, with a smile, as if saying, ‘Don't believe, but feel.’ The world is bright again, smelling of the sea and poetry, and anxiety turns to smoke. And perhaps being naive is not a mistake, but simply a way to survive beautifully.
Lyrics and translation
Original
J'ai vu tant de mirages s'envoler au fil des années.
J'voulais une vie comme dans un long métrage, mais je crois que j'vais pas le regarder.
J'ai vu comme on peut s'aimer au point de finir par se détester.
Ce les gens disent et ce qu'ils font, ce qu'ils pensent être et ce qu'ils sont.
J'ai percé quelques mystères et vu la merde qui se cache derrière.
L'âme blanche comme la neige -d'hiver s'est noircie contre la terre.
-Je vais faire disparaître d'un seul coup toutes tes lettres. D'un tour d'illusionnisme, tu redeviendras naïf.
Regarde comme par magie, comme la vie est plus jolie.
D'un tour d'illusionnisme, tu redeviendras naïf.
Ferme tes yeux, oublie tous tes soucis.
Si tu le peux, fais le vide dans ton esprit.
Maintenant, c'est moi qui décide. Je t'emmène en Floride.
Plus je te lis des poésies, plus ton cœur devient liquide.
Tu sais, l'amour, ça s'emporte, ça revient au creux des mains. Si t'étais resté comme ça, ça ira mieux demain.
Je vais faire disparaître d'un seul coup toutes tes lettres.
D'un tour d'illusionnisme, tu redeviendras naïf. Regarde comme par magie, comme la vie est plus jolie.
D'un tour d'illusionnisme, tu redeviendras naïf.
Je comprends ce que tu me dis, c'est mignon.
J'aime bien quand tu me berces d'illusions. Si le bonheur est une décision, autant y aller à fond.
Se forcer à être un peu con, vivre dans une hallucination.
Ouais, je dors beaucoup mieux maintenant que tu m'as fermé les yeux.
English translation
I have seen so many mirages disappear over the years.
I wanted a life like in a feature film, but I don't think I'm going to watch it.
I saw how we can love each other to the point of ending up hating ourselves.
What people say and what they do, what they think they are and what they are.
I've unraveled some mysteries and seen the shit behind them.
The soul, white as winter snow, turned black against the earth.
-I'm going to make all your letters disappear at once. With a trick of illusionism, you will become naive again.
See as if by magic, how much more beautiful life is.
With a trick of illusionism, you will become naive again.
Close your eyes, forget all your worries.
If you can, clear your mind.
Now it's me who decides. I'm taking you to Florida.
The more poetry I read to you, the more liquid your heart becomes.
You know, love is carried away, it returns to the palm of the hands. If you had stayed like that, it would be better tomorrow.
I'm going to make all your letters disappear at once.
With a trick of illusionism, you will become naive again. See as if by magic, how much more beautiful life is.
With a trick of illusionism, you will become naive again.
I understand what you're telling me, it's cute.
I like it when you lull me with illusions. If happiness is a decision, you might as well go for it.
Force yourself to be a little stupid, live in a hallucination.
Yeah, I sleep a lot better now that you closed my eyes.
