Musique -- Retenances

"Sunrise, sunset.
Sunrise, sunset.
Swiftly go the days.
Sunrise, sunset.
You wake up, then you undress.
It always is the same.

[...]

A sunrise and the sun sets
you realize then you forget
what you’ve been trying to retain.

[...]

Sunrise, the sun sets.
You're hopeful then you regret,
the circle never breaks.
With a sunrise and a sunset
there’s a change of heart or address.
Is there nothing that remains?
For a sunrise or a sunset,
you’re manic or you’re depressed.
Will you ever feel ok?


[...]

A scribble or a sonnet,
they are really just the same.
To the sunrise and the sunset,
the master and his servant
have exactly the same fate.
It’s a sunrise and a sunset,
from a cradle to a casket
there’s no way to escape.
The sunrise and the sunset.
Hold your sadness like a puppet,
keep putting on the play.

But everything you do is leading to the point
where you just won’t know what to do.
And at that moment you may laugh
but there is someone there who will be laughing louder than you.
So it’s true, the trick is complete.
You become everything you said you never would be.
You’re a fool! You’re a fool!"
