Requin tigre [English translation]

I began to babble utter nonsense.

Something inside snapped.

I don't know.

I think it's because subconsciously

I got the impression I was losing control,

Losing control of everything

I was involved with,

Of all aspects of my life.

That sent me into such a rage,

Absolutely indescribable.

It was unbearable.

It's like being shut up in a box without light,

Where time stops.

In fact it's like being in limbo.

You can't go foward any more, can't go backward any more,

You can't go in any direction any more.

You're completely hemmed in.

Stopped dead.

Your feet are in cement.

I felt like a tiger shark.

You know that sharks, when they stop moving forward

They die,

And the tiger shark is the most aggressive.

When it's immobilised, it becomes oblivious to everything going on.<<< Possible alternative translation, derived from a possible alternative punctuation, which is why I am such a stickler for punctuation, it can have such a huge impact:

And the tiger shark is the most aggressive

When it is immobilised; it crushes everything that passes nearby. >>>

And it's the same way with wolves when you corner them.

Me, I used music and words and writing to move ahead,

To progress through existence.

So when I lost that, well...

Well I lost my capacity to progress.

That's how I began to rant and rave.

You can't interact with the world any more.

You shut yourself in little by little.

You become totally sealed off

From others and from everyday life.

Because in the morning when you wake up,

And at night when you go to bed,

When you're walking, when you've got your nose to the grindstone,

When you're talking, when you're driving,

You repeat endlessly,

Endlessly,

I am nowhere,

I'm going nowhere,

I'm petrified,

And I will never be anything other than this.

You have to chose to not think about it,

Chose that it doesn't exist,

Chose to not have a problem with it.

You have to get out,

You have to see your friends,

And expect it will <<< alternative meaning: wait for it to >>> all come back.
