Paradigme [English translation]

In the cold night I cry tears of ice

And there is not one light of hope where I pass by.

The evening souls we pass by on the pavement are often lost

And carry in them twisted desires and dark ideas

Like all the cats who drag their feet on the boulevards

I am alone this evening, still torn apart while drowning here

And the night is so cold I could die

Dad, Mom, I am hurting, I think I'm wounded

They let me drawl along the side of the road

The night is dirty and my head is crying on the pavement

During the night the paradigms are erased

The masks fall to celebrate the nothingness and madness

In this enigma we call life

I want to run and cry

During the night I feel the menace

Among the shadows I see the monsters and the birds of prey

In my belly there's a ball that stresses me out, that I am possessed by and that prevents me

From seeing clearly in this world where everything oppresses me

I am consumed by myself, I light my own match

Oh, life is so short, I have to hurry

And if I go out, it's to erase everything from my memory

I would have wanted the calm and to avoid the stories

And avoid the drama, but it's already too late

Life burns me, but in the night I find my hour of glory

During the night the paradigms are erased

The masks fall to celebrate the nothingness and madness

In this enigma we call life

I want to run and cry
