1er rôle [English translation]

I don't like my face, I struggle to move forward

Never had the keys, so I've picked all the locks

You were in my casting call, and for you I was just an extra

Some people I like and then there's the actors, I'm the only director

You might be a major actor in the story of my life but you'll never have the starring role, cut cut cut cut

When fate wrote the screenplay, some played supporting roles, some are missing from the credits so cut cut cut cut

You might be a major actor in the story of my life but you'll never have the starring role, cut cut cut cut

I've met some fucking brave guys who looked like losers

But those rascals from the industry who denounced me deserve an Oscar

Had a bunch of mishaps in my life, with both chicks and pigs

Body to body, falls and pitfalls

A couple of slip-ups a few springs back, I could have gone downhill 'cause of the drugs

I found myself again when I was wandering in the city

Look at all the strength you're wasting, cut it after a few tests

The gang handles auditions

Only blows define my bros, when you live in sin life's tough

Constantly on a rush so I rewind, and every night I take it all back in

Seduced by the scent of my land after the rain

I'm a weak man, and I should aim for what's above my own level

But I have melancholia and the dismantled honor of a corny writer

Love me some Motown, got me dreaming of a bike I can't wait to ride on

Lights, I'll take off without a warning

It's about time I take flight, I can see myself settled down at thirty

My vision expends, I enter a wide angle

Voice-over: "I need to set things straight, I'm no psychic but if I kick the bucket tomorrow

I don't want the impact of the bullet to be my swan song"

I don't like my face, I struggle to move forward

Never had the keys, so I've picked all the locks

You were in my casting call, and for you I was just an extra

Some people I like and then there's the actors, I'm the only director

We like thrills so much we keep on seeking this intoxication

It's more chaste to get undressed before each other than to open up your heart

And then one day there it is, we spread our things, we soar

Our lives, with these small meaningful gestures, are so lonely

We stare and undress each other with our eyes in silence

And it's so much more exciting than fucking without feelings

Hey lady, looks like it's our turn, here's to hoping we click

Beginning of a love scene, fade to black, ellipsis

I tell you I'll be back soon, and you ask me "How soon is soon?"

I don't even dare to blink anymore when I see you in the sequence shot

I overexposed myself, too much flair, you smile is bright

Ya know my music's made of pictures, and in my pictures there's noise

Bad news, bottle crashes on the floor in slow motion

Journey into the abyss and me drowning at a low angle

Insert, bits of glass, insert, drops of blood

Flashback: a winter night, my head on your lap

Insert, open scissors, close-up, no, turn off the sound

Flashback: an honest woman, wide shot: a man down
