Scanner [English translation]
[Verse 1: Gringe]
I understand why this desire to burn everything, we pushed into the heart of the magma
Any means were good to cheat
And Mom who played the role of Daddy
Show no sign of weakness, be early
School locks us in, of course we drop out
It's give and take, violent-violent
I know it's hard, hold on with all your strength
Here, it's about earning respect without saying "thank you"
Fuck the rules and make this life come alive
When violence is the law, the climate breaks down
Where the blind man is king, the witness stutters
Probably because we were missing a frame maybe, but fuck the warnings, who cares what they think?
I'm not even surprised when you lose it anymore, without realizing that you can lose your life
But tonight, it only took once, from a bad trip, a bad mix
For synthetic drugs to strike you down, and that you go to the angels on the first name
Dislocated brain, hard-core seizures, and no one on board to fly anymore
Just your buddies are taking you home, but it's too late for us to bring you to your senses
The flesh of my flesh has gone to areas too dark
And I discover this fucking scanner that tells us about your deep lesions
Impossible to live normally, I stole the Mona Lisa's smile
And I don't think anything will ever be the same again, she flew away, the dove
[Chorus: Gringe & Léa Castel]
Wounds ruined my skull, but if I have to dry your tears
I'd go dive into the hoop, throw myself into the flames
To help you regain calm, may the curses spare us
I'll leave body and soul there, I have to dry your tears
[Verse 2: Gringe]
The verdict is in, you hear voices, you talk to yourself, your brain overloads
And you isolate yourself for months, and it's been going on for fifteen years now
In these hospitals that bleach smells like, you walk around the halls like a ghost
From sordid rooms to sordid rooms, your mind contains an empty safe
I have nightmares about it, they twist my soul, awakened at night by my own tears
But what can I do besides watching the ceiling? Crying in silence and asking for forgiveness?
You, in your corner, that follows care on care, your back and forth is like in prison
I, in my corner, I roll joints on joints, I heal myself with it, my eyes say a lot
If I reject you, it's because I feel idle, impotence pushes me to put on blinders
Cowardly reaction, I'm sorry, that you can barely count on your only brother
And the more your fits of madness grow, the more your silences are blades that are pushed into my heart
My emotional shocks in the elevator, both hands on my ears when Mommy cries
And no one understands why I'm hurt, why do I look like a death notice?
Memories haunt me, I remember us as kids, two brothers welded together like the two fingers of the hand
My life is yours, brother, dry your tears, no, I don't know anyone braver than you
And when loneliness disarms us, we do what we can, we stick together
[Chorus: Gringe & Léa Castel]
Wounds ruined my skull, but if I have to dry your tears
I'd go dive into the hoop, throw myself into the flames
To help you regain calm, may the curses spare us
I'll leave body and soul there, I have to dry your tears
[Outro: Gringe & Léa Castel]
Wounds ruined my skull, but if I have to dry your tears
I'd go dive into the hoop, throw myself into the flames
To help you regain calm, may the curses spare us
I'll leave body and soul there, I have to dry your tears
