modifierC'est que l'amour que tu m'as donné que nous avons fait
N'a pas été capable de faire en sorte que tu t'ouvres entièrement, non
Et chaque fois que tu dis son nom
Sait-elle que tu m'avais dit
Que tu me serrerais contre toi jusqu'à ta mort ?
Jusqu'à ta mort, mais tu es toujours en vie

'Cause the love that you gave that we made
Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me
You'd hold me until you died?
'Til you died, but you're still alive

C'est un embouteillage quand tu es déjà en retard
Un panneau "Interdiction de fumer" pendant ta pause clope
C'est comme dix mille cuillères quand tout ce que tu cherches est un couteau
C'est comme rencontrer l'homme de mes rêves
Et puis rencontrer sa magnifique femme

It's a traffic jam when you're already late
A "No smoking" sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife

modifier- (en) There's a lyric in the middle of the song that says, "I want to decide between survival and bliss." Basically I'm talking about the difference between really being alive and really embracing the reason why I'm here on this earth versus my just being asleep and sleep walking and accepting the status quo and accepting somewhat of a suffering mentality to being here. It really is my responsibility to distinguish the difference between the two and choose which one I want. It's so easy for me to want to not take responsibility for my life and relinquish it and look outside of myself for the answers that I know very well are within me. It's so scary to be silent and it's so scary to go within, until I do it. And once I'm doing it, I just wonder why I wasn't doing this all the time. So that decision to be fully alive is one that is preceded by some pretty intense decisions and some choices and responsibility-taking that at times can be very intimidating, again, before I do it.
