L'Excessive [English translation]

I have no excuse,

It’s inexplicable,

Even inexorable. Mm …

It’s not for the ecstasy;

It’s that existence,

Without a little of the extreme,

Is unacceptable.

I’m excessive,

I like when it goes off the axis,

When it all accelerates,

I stay relaxed.

I’m excessive,

When it all explodes,

When life shows itself,

It’s an exquisite trance.

For some it’s too much, others it vexes,

There are those who demand I come back to the axis.

Some say it’s a complex,

And there are those who get excited by all those Xs in the text.

I’m excessive,

I like when it goes off the axis,

When it all accelerates,

I stay relaxed.

I’m excessive,

When it all explodes,

When life shows itself,

It’s an exquisite trance. (Yes.)

I’m excessive,

I like when it goes off the axis,

When it’s all exaggerated,

I stay relaxed.

I’m excessive,

Excessively happy, excessively sad,

It’s then that I exist.

Mmm, no excuse, no excuse …
