I don't like my face, I struggle to move forward
Never had the keys, so I've picked all the locks
You were in my casting call, and for you I was just an extra
Some people I like and then there's the actors, I'm the only director
You might be a major actor in the story of my life but you'll never have the starring role, cut cut cut cut
When fate wrote the screenplay, some played supporting roles, some are missing from the credits so cut cut cut cut

I've met some fucking brave guys who looked like losers
But those rascals from the industry who denounced me deserve an Oscar
Had a bunch of mishaps in my life, with both chicks and pigs
Body to body, falls and pitfalls
A couple of slip-ups a few springs back, I could have gone downhill 'cause of the drugs
I found myself again when I was wandering in the city
Look at all the strength you're wasting, cut it after a few tests
The gang handles auditions
Only blows define my bros, when you live in sin life's tough
Constantly on a rush so I rewind, and every night I take it all back in
Seduced by the scent of my land after the rain
I'm a weak man, and I should aim for what's above my own level
But I have melancholia and the dismantled honor of a corny writer
Love me some Motown, got me dreaming of a bike I can't wait to ride on
Lights, I'll take off without a warning
It's about time I take flight, I can see myself settled down at thirty
My vision expends, I enter a wide angle
Voice-over: "I need to set things straight, I'm no psychic but if I kick the bucket tomorrow
I don't want the impact of the bullet to be my swan song"
I don't like my face, I struggle to move forward
Never had the keys, so I've picked all the locks
You were in my casting call, and for you I was just an extra

We like thrills so much we keep on seeking this intoxication
It's more chaste to get undressed before each other than to open up your heart
And then one day there it is, we spread our things, we soar
Our lives, with these small meaningful gestures, are so lonely
We stare and undress each other with our eyes in silence
And it's so much more exciting than fucking without feelings
Hey lady, looks like it's our turn, here's to hoping we click
Beginning of a love scene, fade to black, ellipsis
I tell you I'll be back soon, and you ask me "How soon is soon?"
I don't even dare to blink anymore when I see you in the sequence shot
I overexposed myself, too much flair, you smile is bright
Ya know my music's made of pictures, and in my pictures there's noise
Bad news, bottle crashes on the floor in slow motion
Journey into the abyss and me drowning at a low angle
Insert, bits of glass, insert, drops of blood
Flashback: a winter night, my head on your lap
Insert, open scissors, close-up, no, turn off the sound
Flashback: an honest woman, wide shot: a man down
