À rebours [English translation]

Reality is giving out

Angels told that anything

Sent to us

Can be borne

One, two

And time is going by and leaving us weary

And I am

Unfortunately passing

Questionning the infinite

Closing the door to oblivion

And with a turn

Of a key

Such as a deaf

Mute

There is no need for bars

For crosses

We cloister ourselves all alone

Sometimes

And love

I know...

Within love's

Reach

Ghosts will not leave us

Alone

Tyranny of the kept secrets

Life is worthless but

But nothing can compare to life

It is less than important1

It is not important, yet we want to live

And life is

Unfortunately going by

And the beast is

Passing and chasing away

Any kind of opposition

What if it called the tune?

Contra everything,

Common sense

No care

I dreamed about trangressing and

Planting

Ignoring and screwing things

Up

In order to

Reach for the summits

To simply

Live

The bolts that seemed

To break...

I fear that their keys

Are missing

And with a turn

Of a key

Such as a deaf

Mute

There is no need for bars

For crosses

We cloister ourselves all alone

Sometimes

But love

I know... is

Within love's reach

Help me

Find the keys

I will have to... be eventually calmed down

1. Epsilon is the 5th letter in the Greek alphabet. In maths, it is used to express a really small number. In this case, it may mean that it does not matter at all.
