Les coulisses
Sur le thème d'une relation non assumée et qui a mal tourné, la chanson devait initialement être sur un texte assez court et devait proposer beaucoup de passages musicaux variés. Au final le texte en français reste assez court comme prévu à l'origine par contre des textes en anglais ont été ajoutés en particulier sur les parties musicales. Après une longue introduction ên atmosphère plutôt planante, la chanson s'embarque peu à peu dans le pop rock puis après un petit bridge au piano, beaucoup plus résolument vers un pop encore plus rock soutenu par ces parties en anglais, beaucoup de guitares et un peu d'orgues.
Paroles
Me voilà, à genou devant toi
Est-ce cela que tu voulais ?
Dis-moi, dis-moi
.
Tais-toi, je ne t’écoute pas
Oh my friend, will I ever understand,
how come we came to this end
.
Mais qu’est ce que tu nous as fait ?
.
What did I do or did not do,
all seems so wrong now
The sky is dark and no ray of light will ever come through
Were we just some fools or were there just absurd rules
But how could they know, since I kept it low
I feel so puzzled now,
From my heart to my brain Is it pride,
is it shame, are the tears more vain
When you’re the only one to cry them...
I feel lonely
.
Me voilà , droit devant toi
Cette fois, sans me cacher,
tu vois, tu vois, je suis là
.
Nous voilà, devant eux , toi et moi
Et je veux le leur crier d’une seule voix
Moi debout ..et toi plus bas
.
There were times that I was so ashamed ,
there were times when you were so upset
There were times that I could not conceive them to know
There were times that I could not dare to face the truth
Dare to scatter some clues of my trouble to appease you
And now that you are gone, cause I let you down
I’m waking from sunset to dawn
Just to look for your star, cry out your name in the dark,
I have stopped to deny
But there’s no light, cause it’s too late
.
Tell me what I can do ,
tell we what I can say, Please
Tell me what I should do
for all the things I did not say or I did say
Here I am now, just before you, just before you
Just to plead for forgivness ,
just to give me a chance to take
To take the road back to where
I could have changed the course of fate
.
But tell me where, tell me why,
tell me how to enlight the sky
Tell me where I should go, now,
tell me even if I should die
Tell me that it is not too late
to change the course of this fucking fate
Here I am now, just before you, just before you
But don’t stay so quiet,
don’t leave me facing a big empty space
I know I was a coward,
help me taking on the fight and kill my weakness
.
May be I could hold the flag,
for those who support a heavy bag
May be I could help them survive,
and not fall for the final dive
Just before it is too late, please,
tell me it’s not too late
Without your help my friend,
I’am still too weak I’m afraid
