    Pour notre second disque, nous souhaitions absolument proposer un livret comprenant, entre autres, les paroles des chansons.

    Toutes les photos, de la pochette au livret, ont été prises par notre amie Morgane Delfosse.
    C'est Juliette, notre guitariste préférée, et sa belle-maman Soazic qui ont conçu et réalisé l'objet.

I don't wanna be living here on my own All those thoughts that I resent Are sparks that never show up alone Still it's been fifteen years Scary that it's been so long Does anybody know that I'm lost in this Castle?  For good For good I remember, being with my people, gazing around In parks, hotels, casinos, oh any corporate clubs Would have fit our life out of any consequence Never really thinking of seeking the hidden sense Now I Know I think I know when I don't Nobody does it alone But I'm so impatient I don't wanna be growing alone Am I cursed for being the only one on his way to enlightenment? Locked in a place to get old Gettin mad at being so peaceful on my own But I can’t think of anything clever to say Like "there's no now here"  Nowhere is the place where I can take the lead Where I can make them stay trembling on their knees Praying for Nobody Nobody... Nobody does it alone

No more dummy love stories No more easy fantasies No more life changing carreers No more No more She said I wanna us back to when we started wanna know how it begins I wanna wash away all of my social reflexes No more world cup semi finals No more useless elections No more disappointing tomorrows I said I want a better place to stay I wanna make love every day and then be lifted up with someone that says Reboot me and upload some love Or erase my mind For fun...  No more dummy love stories No more easy fantasies Go to hell with your carreers Come on, no more! Instead, you have to get to when it started Wouldn't end the way it did You'll get to wish away all of my social reflexes And then Reboot me and Upload some love Or Erase my mind... Had I been conned by some kind of spiritual intimacy? Suddenly relieved to face someone recognising  the great potential with me Impostors to self are instructors to soul but it still does not help filling the hole in me And Anyway, how could I love her when I expected her so much? when she turned back to me Throwing her handkerchief on the ground Her fingers were drawing a cloud of goodbyes That suddenly vanished in the air I sat back in the grass, smoked a fag, already hoping for someone to Reboot me and upload some love or Erase my mind...

Equinox 03:43
Loving you, loving who  Throughout so many years.  Had I been waiting for you to simplify my fears?  Or am I just in full fantasy mode again? Us doesn't look like a remake, but who am I kidding?  Too soon to rewind the tape Inquire at my persisting mistakes all over again. And cry within my absent tears that I'll never be caught cold again. Beautiful and loving Like my own personal Meg Ryan How long before picturing a house and kids in the backyard?  Who the fuck did paste those fantasies in my mind?  Still unsure of who I wanna be But no more wondering who I am Still afraid that you'll hurt me Bitting the ass of my best friend Who's in charge of that rambling mind? And cry within my whiny tears That I'll never be caught cold again.  But still, how long will I pretend That I don't give a shit if we end But can you delete all my memories,  And make you look like my first chance?  Can you dig up my own shit,  And make it seem as if it never happened?  And whatever I'll do, you'd love me again. Can you be all wild, then reassuring, then wild again whenever I please?  Can you close your eyes patiently when my dark side's taking the wheel?  And love, and love, and love me again! My light and darkness made equal.  My long hoped for Equinox.

Most of it 06:58
Of course I want to be happy I'm just like everybody But every now and then I'm dancing with my inner devil He drinks as soon as I get up Snorting cocaïn's his favourite breakfast I've heard that they worried for me When I just want to make the most of it Inside the house of my brain There's a secured panic room Lying on the floor, I picture a woman Burying down my darkest secrets But i don't mean to kill myself I don't wanna die like anyone But i don't mean to live like them even if it's what it takes to apease my mind I didn't have to be alone Why did you leave me here? And discover you lying on the floor with red drops wetting your ears I want to find my own special way of dying and prove that i had lived and not been saved

All of my life I’ve done nothing but cry Fear has always been here, waiting to hurt me bad Even when I thought I had it right, I‘ve never made time to change While I know what I should be doing now, I’d better keep on living with my memories And I could come to kiss you but I am too scared to try And I can think of being with you, but I am not sure I know how The only reason I am stuck to you is cos’ there has to be someone And as I can’t make it on my own, I’d better keep on living with my memories Stuck with my misery The only words that come through are those of a pathetic guy One of those who have dreams too, but which don’t stay long in mind There are too many things to do and not even time to try Better wait for my next life with you Hangin' around singing our misery Stuck with my misery

Obvious and tortured.
Sweet and aggressive.
