Scanner [English translation]

[Verse 1: Gringe]

I understand why this desire to burn everything, we pushed into the heart of the magma

Any means were good to cheat

And Mom who played the role of Daddy

Show no sign of weakness, be early

School locks us in, of course we drop out

It's give and take, violent-violent

I know it's hard, hold on with all your strength

Here, it's about earning respect without saying "thank you"

Fuck the rules and make this life come alive

When violence is the law, the climate breaks down

Where the blind man is king, the witness stutters

Probably because we were missing a frame maybe, but fuck the warnings, who cares what they think?

I'm not even surprised when you lose it anymore, without realizing that you can lose your life

But tonight, it only took once, from a bad trip, a bad mix

For synthetic drugs to strike you down, and that you go to the angels on the first name

Dislocated brain, hard-core seizures, and no one on board to fly anymore

Just your buddies are taking you home, but it's too late for us to bring you to your senses

The flesh of my flesh has gone to areas too dark

And I discover this fucking scanner that tells us about your deep lesions

Impossible to live normally, I stole the Mona Lisa's smile

And I don't think anything will ever be the same again, she flew away, the dove

[Chorus: Gringe & Léa Castel]

Wounds ruined my skull, but if I have to dry your tears

I'd go dive into the hoop, throw myself into the flames

To help you regain calm, may the curses spare us

I'll leave body and soul there, I have to dry your tears

[Verse 2: Gringe]

The verdict is in, you hear voices, you talk to yourself, your brain overloads

And you isolate yourself for months, and it's been going on for fifteen years now

In these hospitals that bleach smells like, you walk around the halls like a ghost

From sordid rooms to sordid rooms, your mind contains an empty safe

I have nightmares about it, they twist my soul, awakened at night by my own tears

But what can I do besides watching the ceiling? Crying in silence and asking for forgiveness?

You, in your corner, that follows care on care, your back and forth is like in prison

I, in my corner, I roll joints on joints, I heal myself with it, my eyes say a lot

If I reject you, it's because I feel idle, impotence pushes me to put on blinders

Cowardly reaction, I'm sorry, that you can barely count on your only brother

And the more your fits of madness grow, the more your silences are blades that are pushed into my heart

My emotional shocks in the elevator, both hands on my ears when Mommy cries

And no one understands why I'm hurt, why do I look like a death notice?

Memories haunt me, I remember us as kids, two brothers welded together like the two fingers of the hand

My life is yours, brother, dry your tears, no, I don't know anyone braver than you

And when loneliness disarms us, we do what we can, we stick together

[Chorus: Gringe & Léa Castel]

Wounds ruined my skull, but if I have to dry your tears

I'd go dive into the hoop, throw myself into the flames

To help you regain calm, may the curses spare us

I'll leave body and soul there, I have to dry your tears

[Outro: Gringe & Léa Castel]

Wounds ruined my skull, but if I have to dry your tears

I'd go dive into the hoop, throw myself into the flames

To help you regain calm, may the curses spare us

I'll leave body and soul there, I have to dry your tears
