Maniaque [English translation]

[Verse 1]

Dude, in my life, I’ve been told: “No” too many times, I’ve got to stop asking politely

I’ve got to stop being emotional, now, I’m going to count every penny

If you’re my brother, you’re blood, tell me the truth, I’m all ears

I don’t want to be left in the dark one more minute, I've spent too much time driving in it without batting an eyelid

Take a good look at me, new self-employed, I know what I'm about

I’m my own producer, I don't need anything from you, I’m not asking you to say “Your Majesty”

[Pre-refrain]

Give me my respect, I’ll give you yours, I can even change your wardrobe

Maybe even get you to the top if your evil eye hasn't killed me by then

[Refrain]

You wanted to learn more about my pay

To talk to me about love, call me “babe”

If you’re trying to get into my head

It’s not even worth it

Everything’s mixed up in my head and in my life

Everything’s mixed up, it’s hard for a maniac

When I say, “I'm doing good”, it’s a lie, it’s a lie, it’s a lie, it’s a lie

It’s a lie, it’s a lie, it’s a lie

[Verse 2]

Let down by people, I’ve stopped trying; to hell with you, I won’t cut corners again

Those who change their tune every night also switch loyalty every year

Often, it's the least interesting people who want to be the know-it-alls

I don’t trust anybody except when they’re blood, I haven’t found any other solutions

“They’re liars, don’t listen to them” my dad said to me

They teach us that we’re at the bottom of the food chain

[Pre-refrain]

Don’t slight me, I don't want anything from you, I can even change your wardrobe

Maybe even get you to the top if your evil eye hasn't killed me by then

[Refrain]

You wanted to learn more about my pay

To talk to me about love, call me “babe”

If you’re trying to get into my head

It’s not even worth it

Everything’s mixed up in my head and in my life

Everything’s mixed up, it’s hard for a maniac

When I say, “I'm doing good”, it’s a lie, it’s a lie, it’s a lie, it’s a lie

It’s a lie, it’s a lie, it’s a lie

[Outro]

I always have sleepless nights, I can't close my eyes

My heart is dead, and I'm still unable to mourn it

A lot of regrets, if only I had done better

My body is present but my mind is twenty thousand leagues away

Everything’s mixed up in my head and in my life

Everything’s mixed up, it’s hard for a maniac

When I say, “I'm doing good”, it’s a lie, it’s a lie, it’s a lie, it’s a lie

It’s a lie, it’s a lie, it’s a lie, it’s a lie, it’s a lie
