Contradiction [Pilule Bleue] [English translation]

[Verse 1: Maître Gims]

Everyone watches me

Everyone expects something from me

But it's always the same man that I see in the mirror

Yes, I'm ashamed, so I wear glasses

But who can pretend to have the innocence of a newborn?

I preached the truth as false, I apologize

Don't blame me, we all have a schizo side

Gandhi Djuna, small country boy

Stay yourself, don't forget that cash embellishes

I would like to start all over

But I'm not a super hero

I don't want to play all the roles

From now on I'll keep my word

[Refrain: Maître Gims]

How do you explain all my choices?

All the decisions that I made?

Rising to my values

But too often I contradict them

Sorry, but I'm only a man

And I have the impression that we forget

I would also like that we forget my errors

No one is infallible

[Verse 2: Barack Adama]

It becomes embarrassing

I am a prisoner of my rhetoric

I don't expect anything from anyone, not even a letter

But I'm ashamed and I don't know where to hide

There are words that you must assume

When you disappoint, it is a myth that goes up in smoke

One day, you say this, the next, you say that

And you're surprised that your friends think you're weird

I'm in a big paradox

I could not tell you a parable

The words I have accumulated, and I ended up humiliated

Because lack of pot, bad luck and life are linked

All those who me me today feel robbed

The reality is faster than the word

And just as I would have done to myself, you've slandered me

But I'm like you, I contradict myself

[Refrain x1]

[Bridge : Barack Adama]

Contradiction

I say the opposite of what i do

It's not intended, but I'm only a man (only a man)

Contradiction

Kilometers between the word and the act

We are all the same: aggressive and cowardly

My actions come contradict all my sayings

Contradiction

No one understands my choices, I contradict myself

And I find the time, I contradict myself

Forgive me but I contradict myself

[Refrain x1]
