Weight of Regrets
It is a fragrance of the past,
A piece of existence slowly vanishing
A lost feeling that reminds me of you.
But there was a time when
Some words had to be said or concealed
And I kept silent with my pain and pride.
Countless days, countless nights have passed
But it still grips my heart
And remorse lingers but it will not change anything.
CHORUS: Oh, when it’s done, when I’m gone,
Will you understand my choice ?
Do you believe all those who claim
They never felt the weight of regrets ?
And I no longer believe in
Those clear-cut sentences I once said.
Time eroded the deepest feelings.
Even though I’m trying
To live with the burden,
I curse myself for being so weak.
Countless days, countless nights have passed
But it still grips my heart
And remorse lingers but it will not change anything.
My former self died, buried in my mind;
Dead memories lie all around me.
CHORUS

Sham Existence
Insidious and inpalpaple, their
ascendancy grows (day by day)
By dint of bombarding us, our critical minds finally surrender (lulled into illusions, we gradually give up)
Preachers, salesmen, no matter how we name them (as long as we have faith)
They will despoil us to better sell us imitations (is it so easy to forge someone’s life ?)
Tacite agreement
Why risk being pointed at for abstract principles ?
Silent renouncement You will never challenge their rules but you can’t even tell me why !
CHORUS: What does it all mean ?
If nothing’s for real anymore
What does it all mean now ?
If all feelings are virtual
What does it all mean ?
If existing’s a deceit
What does it all mean now ?
If we have to dream our lives
Lazy and submissive, we have become extensions of our screens (marionettes)
Force-fed with information, it has become impossible to sort (Condemned to satisfy artificial needs)
Leaders, dealers, no matter how we name them (as long as we consume)
They will control us to better sell us superfluity (is it so easy to forge someone’s will ?)
CHORUS
Get back the voice that you don’t hear anymore
Get back the senses you forgot long ago
And choose what you really want for yourself !

Heiress to Melancholia
He read in me things still unwritten
The rest he had learned in my diary
In the end, what did it change ?
I have grown older, darker, and the blood speaks
All my certainties have faltered
I have become estranged from myself
All that time, I have been justifying
A sickly condition I was not aware of
CHORUS: Have I ever had free will ?
Have I only made my choices In the grip of a mere
Body and mind disorder ?
Will those things I hate save me ?
Will the ones I love kill me ?
Will I never know again
That bliss called ignorance
I could have left without knowing
But man’s science decreed otherwise
In the end, where is my truth ?
I feel lost, adrift, and the scars weep
All that I took for convictions
May have been inspired by bile
What is left when you realize
Your mind has been driven by drugs
I am so helpless against myself
That I try to hide from my own eyes
And no use looking for sympathy
When you are consumed from the inside
Drugs give the quiet shades of sanity
To the defences in my head
I know the pills will never heal me
But I have been prescribed life
