lyrics

Amok :

Je suis l'aveugle en pleine lumière, les yeux grand ouverts
Face au soleil, qui s'émerveille, narguant Lucifer
Le sourd qui appelle au secours et que personne n'entend ;
Aucun Dieu du haut de sa tour, j'crois bien qu'on s'entend...
Je caresse le néant du bout de mes doigts,
M'enfonce dans un trou béant à chacun de mes pas
Les sens en effervescence, ta science, j'm'en balance
Tu ne penses qu'en apparence, ta connaissance est vide de sens !

Imagine :

What is real what ain't? the minds they steal or the art we tame?
How far they reach us the cards are now in game.
The illusion is just the ceiling of the floors they reign.
Now feel the pouring rain. seek for treasures of pleasure but don't be ignoring pain.
Let the dream be your reality while they declare war in vain.
With my eyes wide shut and my trap right open,
Peacefully minding their gaps I grasp the right moment.

What you see ain't what it is when your life ain't what it seems
'Cause time never forgives and always takes back what it gives...
What you see ain't what it is when your life ain't what it seems
Don't even try to ask please, it's your mind you should release !

Imagine :

What is fake what ain't? Aren't we all just an illusion?
The laws we break or the constitution?
The drugs we sling or the weapons they disguise?
The wrongs we sing or the rights they deprive?
Like guns clapping reality slaps you in the mind.
You try to run from it, but it traps you all the time.
Now feel the emancipation of imagination,
Now what is real what ain't?

Amok :

J'ai goûté les fruits sans saveur d'une routine monotone,
Dégoûté par tant de malheur, j'en ai vomi du molotov
J'ai sniffé du gaz lacrymogène plus que de la poudreuse,
Kiffé m'ouvrir les veines sur des mélodies creuses.
Je m'arrime à ces petits riens, comme un navire au port,
Chavire de bâbord à tribord quand ma rime est en vain
J'en perds parfois le nord, car les lendemains sont incertains
A raison ou à tort ; tout ce que je sais c'est que je ne sais rien.
