8:27 a.m.
The blue sky almost makes the hospital pretty
Almost
You're 17, almost 17 and a half
You have your heart in your boots
You cross the courtyard
You hope to run into no one
And that it doesn't last long
A pill and it's over
Shame will pass
You're like the pierced child that the future will fill, but it's too early for that.
"Barbara, are you sure?"
They explain life to you
All around it's getting restless
And then, there's this sentence that they throw in your face:
"But you're just a whore!
That's what happens, well yeah!
You're not protected and you might be sterile, you should have thought about it".
Of course you thought about it...
8:50 a.m., you come out of that room collapsed and full of guilt.
MY FLESH,
MY BODY,
MY FLESH,
MY FLESH,
MY FLESH,
MY FLESH,
MY FLESH,
MY BODY,
MY FLESH,
MY BODY,
MY FLESH,
MY BODY,
MY BODY,
MY BODY...
You're 20
Isn't being 20 years beautiful?
But you don't really know
No confidence at all
You drink too much to feel a little bit less
You blaze up, you act as if nothing had happened.
But deep down, you see yourself as they look at you.
Without value,
Without future
Without softness,
Without pleasure
And you believe that sex is linked to violence
You think the most important thing is to save face
If you play well, it's all right
When you play well, everything passes
You flee forward so as not to listen to yourself,
Not understanding you, not even respecting you
You cut your hair short
You tattoo yourself of bullshit
Small defeats
Parties that degenerate
And tears in the dawn
What can you do about it?
MY BODY,
MY FLESH,
MY BODY,
MY FLESH,
MY FLESH,
MY FLESH,
MY FLESH,
MY FLESH,
MY BODY,
MY FLESH,
MY BODY,
MY FLESH,
MY BODY,
MY BODY,
MY BODY...
You're 26
The blue sky almost makes the boulevard pretty
Almost
You're 26, almost 26 and a half.
Now you feel ready
You can hear yourself resonate
And then abandon you
Now you listen to yourself
You know you have the right to let yourself go.
And to tell you: "I love you."
"I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you."
To give your skin lots of other memories
Love, respect, kisses, desire,
To give your skin lots of other memories
Love, respect, kisses, desire.
Without knowing it, I was moving forward
I was moving towards my beloved flesh.
Without knowing it, you will move forward
You'll move towards your flesh, my darling.
Now that we know, we move forward
Let's move towards our beloved flesh
Let's move towards our healed flesh
Let's move towards our flesh.
Without knowing it, I was moving forward
I was moving towards my beloved flesh.
Without knowing it, you will move forward
You'll move towards this flesh, my darling.
Now that we know, we move forward
Let's move towards our beloved flesh
Let's move towards our healed flesh
Let's move towards our flesh.
MY BODY,
MY FLESH,
MY BODY,
MY FLESH,
MY FLESH,
MY FLESH,
MY FLESH,
MY FLESH,
MY BODY,
MY FLESH,
MY BODY,
MY FLESH,
MY FLESH,
MY FLESH,
MY FLESH.
