La peur de L'échec [English translation]

[Unique Verse]

I'm afraid I'll never finish my album

I have no more inspiration, anyway I don't want to be a singer anymore, I'm not 15 anymore

When I look at my clips, I feel sorry for myself

What I say in my songs is clichés, it's not the truth

I'm afraid of fame

I'm afraid I'm going to burn my wings out trying to shine under the spotlight

Basically, I do give a shit to what peoples say

I get lost between what they expect from me and what I really am

Everyday, I play the actor....

I'm pretending

I joke around to hide the fear

I'm wasting my time asking myself questions instead of acting

I'm afraid of depression, I'm afraid of the future and its disappointments

The more I grow up, the more time passes, the more I'm disappointed

Under the influence of the anguish of future injuries

The more I look for excuses, the more I get bogged down

I get drunk with negativity, and I feel alive

I'm often afraid of boredom, I'm afraid I have no reason to complain

Yet I feel sad all the time, I feel empty

I'm afraid of being normal, of being medium, not too bad nor too good

I think I'm useless ...

I'm afraid of my loved ones because they know my weaknesses

My Achilles heels, they know how fragile my foundations are

They trust me right now

But when I'll disappoint them, they will be near me, ready to strike first

I'm afraid my parents hate me, since I was thirteen years old, I've been regressing

I hurt them, I stress them

I gave up what they taught me to do only shit

Like I'm better than my father, like I'm better than my mother

They think they love me, I think they bury their heads in the sand

I think they like the one they dream of seeing instead of me

Because they don't know what's going on behind the mask

Hiding behind the image, because they don't know my real face

When I say I hate girls, I give myself credit

I never really invested myself, I ran away.

I cheated on my feelings, believing of staying true

I avoided love out of fear of getting fucked

By cowardice, I thought the more I got attached the less it worked

I betrayed, I messed, I hated, I banished

What have I acquired besides remorse and disease?

Nothing, except the fear of being alone my whole life

I believe in God a little, but not really

I'll go with the unbelievers when I'll leave

I'm afraid I'm attracted to nothingness

I feel so good in the darkness, I feel in my element

I feel like I want to jump into the void, to put a rope around my neck, to drown myself

To cut my veins from my elbow to my wrist

I feel like I want to put a bullet in my head but I don't have a gun ...

Look me in the eyes, you will understand that I'm just a faggot

[Outro]

I'm afraid of losing

I'm afraid of failure

I'm afraid of losing

I'm afraid of failure, afraid of failure

I'm afraid of losing, I'm afraid

I'm afraid of failure, afraid of failure

I'm afraid of losing, I'm afraid

I'm afraid of failure, afraid of failure

I'm afraid to face the trials of life

I'm afraid of my mistakes, I'm afraid of the future

I'm afraid to face the trials of life

I'm afraid of my mistakes, I'm afraid of the future
