Energie sombre [English translation]

I feel like I’ve been sinking for the past few months

So gloomy that I’ve become a pale shadow of myself

When the sun came up, you asked how I was faring

And when the moon came up, I downloaded your nudes

Message in a Bottle, this is the thousandth verse I’m playing on SoundCloud

And I who wanted you to be mine Chaleur Humaine replaying on Saint-Claude

One day when doubts set in, you’ll know how cruel the other one is

Tunes of Bohemienne, a dance that makes you tear up

I feel like I’ve been sinking for the past few months

So gloomy that I’ve become a pale shadow of my former self

When the sun came up, you asked how I was faring

And when the moon came up, I downloaded your nudes

I remember the summer and the liberty that came with the month of August

Our baby faces when we sent each other sweet words

Now it’s all over and I’m a prisoner of my doubts

Oh you want to help me? How much will you take, tell me everything?

No I’m not for sale, I do the selling

I’ve screwed lots of others but it's getting really old

Lady and the Tramp, love around a plate of noodles

I didn’t have confidence in myself, although I was suspicious of everything I was sure about the two of us

You’ve got an innocent man but it seems to me that we’re better off together

Death threats on my phone, midnight strikes and I send him off bleeding on the ground

If I went too far away it’s so I don’t come back again, it’s not his fault

I’m sure that makes you happy when you think of it as you lie in your bed

Cos it seems to me that you’ve been sinking too, but don’t worry

You send voice messages and I play them over again for months

When the sun came up, you asked how I was faring

And when the moon came up, I downloaded your nudes

I need your lies, all my dreams remind me of you

In the same dimension in my songs for the last few months

I'm ready to lose my mind, if I’m sinking it’s because I want you

So gloomy I’ve become a pale shadow of my former self

We want to trust each other but where will that get us?

There’s love everywhere for those who have eyes to see, there’s also hate cos we desire the things we see

We desire what we see and it’s a matter of choice, you think of the worst as you take your chances

Is it worth a few moments of joy, when you suffer so much inside?

It’s probably because we were fleeing happiness, it’s strange how enticing conflicts can be

I really need to have confidence in myself, but you’re my only confidante

So I keep sinking

I feel like I’ve been sinking for the past few months

So gloomy that I’ve become a pale shadow of my former self

When the sun came up, I refused to hear anything from you

And when the moon came up, I deleted your nudes

Who needs you?
