Another Day

*Another Day*
Flowing to the sea
Like a river
Lying in a field
The whole day
New day, I’m getting out of bed, it’s always late
Again, I’m running for the bus, no time to waste
At work and back home late again, eating and sleeping
Once more, I’m always on my way instead of letting go
All I can see is time passing by
The same rock again -- the same trap again
Walking on a cloud
Slowly moving
Barefoot in the grass
You and me
Today I woke up slowly, is it too late ?
What if time is taking the best of me ? I could lose my mind
Losing my way, breathing sometimes
Deep in my sleep, walking with you
Wasting our time, all by your side
Deep in my mind, just being with you
Talking to the moon
Greeting fireflies
Sleeping in a tree
Finding peace
Flowing to the sea
Like a river
Lying in a field
The whole day
A little grain of sand, a fantasy, an open mind
Like a river slowly moving finding peace…
Today, new day, losing my way…
I could lose my mind greeting fireflies the whole day...

*Eileen*
Your dreams are dying
You're falling on your knees
It's time to find a place
To rise above your fears
Oh you could turn the rain dry inside, inside
Oh you could make the stones cry inside, inside
Who turned your mind into dust ?
You've tried to let it go
For your peace of mind
You’ve almost surrendered
It seemed clear and wise
Now you can dream about a "real life" just like in these movies
Now you could be this perfect girl just like in these papers
Oh you could turn the rain dry inside, inside
Oh you could make the stones cry inside, inside
Who turned your mind into dust ?
Now you can dream about a "real life" just like in these movies
Now you could be this perfect girl just like in these papers
Oh you could turn the rain dry inside, inside
Oh you could make the stones cry inside, inside
Who turned your mind into dust ?

How Far

*How Far*
One more harsh awakening
After a night of painful thoughts
Wipe out fear and faltering
Requested acting as I ought
Through ignorance of my silent sorrow
Know my life is not for sale
Only the lees of it you can borrow
No longer love’s a fairy tale
Far too long
Sunk too deep
Left alone
Broken sleep
Tragic love
Through my veins
Saddest sorrow
Feel the pain
Going on my weakness pace
Facing darkness with a grin
The words you slap in my face
Hurt like claws you’d stuck me in
Looking for my wrinkled smile
Staring eyes make me glow
Pull me down to the final pile
Hope, for ever make it blow
Far too long
Sunk too deep
Left alone
Broken sleep

Useless

*Useless*
By the way, what can I say ?
Somebody talks anyway
And I stay away from danger
And I feel like staying outside
Let me be useless and vain
Let me give no reason to stay
Not to prove how clever I am
Not to show how open I am
Oh like a stranger, oh as I am
I stay away from the game

By the Way

*By the Way*
An empty gaze at the docks then you smile
All you need is a seagull fly in the sunshine
A simple prayer, a friendly word soothes your mind
The way we lie, the way we cheat is out of your sight
Ooh you’re brave by the way
Not a tear despite your loneliness
By the way you’ll always be in my heart
I will stay wherever I go by your side
Ooh I learn from you by the way, not a tear, not a sigh
Do you feel, as I do, loneliness in your sunshine ?
Ooohhhhh

*Young Lady*
I live in the woods
I can light a fire
I know a snake
He's dangerous
Once I’ve danced with a tree
Under moonlight
I can walk then disappear
It's easy
Now I feel the same
It's just another day
I dream the same way
But something must have changed
It's meant to be
But I don't care
I'm still the same
With an old witch mask
Nothing has changed
I can see it in the sparks
If monsters are awaken
I can beat them with my bow
It's frightening I know
I saw a picture of my face
I think I'm still a young girl
Even if I know
Wrinkles tear us apart
Far-away eyes mean I still have my dreams
I can still beat you with my magic bow

The Fire

*The Fire*
A fire in me is keeping me up
Passion is stronger than me
Time I have left is all I can see
Routine is surrounding me
It’s burning my whole mind
I guess there is no peace
Ooooh
It’s about the fire you lighted in me
Just as you said, it’s worth a try
I trusted you, I’m craving now
I will never give up
No matter what they tell me
And about the fire you lighted in me
It gives me strength and stamina
And hope I would be
I would be tough, I would be stout
As tenacious as a vine
Creeping through rocks, climbing to walls
Only to reach for the sky
For the things I desire
I would fly, I would cry, I would feed that fire
It’s about a fire you lighted in me
A wild desire or a destiny
And I think too much, there’ no need to rush
But I need to rush anyway
Time to go right now, there’s no need to wait
I’ve been waiting too long by the way
Many times I’ve dreamed of this moment to come
Now it’s late ‘cause I’ve waited too long

*A Trap*
First they tell you what to play
Then they tell you what to say
Till you don't know who you are anymore
One day they just don't care
Another day they comb your hair
Till you don't know who to trust anymore
They tell you who's good for you
They don't tell you how to choose
Till you don't know how to love anymore
It's a trap
You don't hear it
Hoping for some love
It's a trap
You don't see it
Till you're swallowed as a fly
Just a little prey
Not alone anymore
Now I don't know if I can tell
How it made my pride awake
I will never be a prey anymore
But I don't know if I can care
For the one I met today
And I don't want to take a chance anymore
It's a trap
I'm right in it
Filled with all these lies
It's a trap
I'm right in it
For the rest of my life
Just a little prey
Not alone anymore

*Storm*
Who will hear my side ?
Who will know my way ?
With my whole mind
You play
Please give some time
Will you let me say
What I have in mind ?
I pray
And it's like a rain
Clouding my brain
It's like a rain
Poured in my brain
It's like a rain
In my head
You're always so brave
You know what to say
Please let me do things
My way
And it's like a rain
Clouding my brain
It's like a rain
Poured in my brain
It's like a rain
In my head
And it's like a rain
Clouding my brain
It's like a rain
Poured in my brain
It's like a rain
In my head

*Venisse*
Every once in a while
I meet that friend that lies inside
Every twice in a moment
I meet your eyes, your voice and I smile
Every once in a while
I meet that friend that lies inside
Now we meet when I’m dreaming
It’s like I can’t decide the way we are bound
Is it strange ? No
Now we meet when I’m dreaming
I wish that friend would live when I open my eyes
Is it strange ? No
Every twice in a moment
I meet your eyes, your voice and I smile

Off the Top of My Head

*Off the Top of My Head*
Words get hung at the tip of my tongue
It never comes right, yeah I know
I’m doing my best to speak aloud but no one hears
I’m thinking too much, and it shows
I would say off the top of my head: in a day or two,
I would tell in really good words what I’m feeling too
I just say off the top of my head
That I need some time to figure it out
I’m out of my head finding words in a rush
I’m losing my mind and it shows
A Damocles sword is hanging now over my head
I should’ve told you right away
I would say off the top of my head that I’m not ready to
Dig the words out of my head when I think of you
I’m not sure to keep a cool head
When you’re around, it’s strange in many ways
It’s strange today…
[unintelligible words - with emotion]
Strange words went over my head. How do I tell you the truth ?
I am still scratching my head over what to do
Your straight ways went over my head
I see your smile, and I’m paralysed
It’s strange today...
[unintelligible words - with emotion]

Not the One

*Not the One*
When she was younger
She wasn't satisfied in any way
Anyway, she's not to blame
She was a good pupil
Quick and keen
But the people she met were not to be seen
She said
I'm not the one you need
For I love no one but myself
I'm not the one you need
For I love no one but myself
Then she grew up
In body but not in mind
She was still not satisfied
And she met the one
Who made her feel so alive
But he turned his back and he said
You know
I'm not the one you need
For I love no one but myself
I'm not the one you need
For I love no one but myself

A While

*A While*
While they say "You must seize the day!"
They forget there is always more to learn
Take a break from day-to-day prey
Do not dwell on missing your turn
It takes a while to grow a garden
Why do we rush to be done in a day
We run around like headless chickens
It always takes a while to do things the right way
It takes a while
It takes a while
Motivated by instant gain
Self-respect is something we can't afford
"Be there first!" could be in vain
Take your time to look at the chessboard
It takes a while to grow a garden
Why do we rush to be done in a day
We run around like headless chickens
It always takes a while to do things the right way
It takes a while
It takes a while
It takes a while to grow a garden
Why do we rush to be done in a day
We run around like headless chickens
It always takes a while to do things the right way
It takes a while
It takes a while
