Les troubles du seigneur [English translation]

[Couplet 1]

Am I the only one who hears this obstinate voice?

It lets you think that you live in a remote place

That you can't die by jumping off an inclined roof

But haven't you ever thought deep down

That it was possible that you're the Chosen One?

Yeah, I have, the only one, chosen among men

Stuck in a world where all I've been taught is rubbish

I'm becoming awaring of it after all this time

Who says that my teachers were right?

As soon as I bring this up, someone tells me that science has the answers, phew!

And what proves that this science is truly genuine?

Tonight, I'm strangely doubting myself

I live with people, that's true, but I only have my head

To see and hear them, how is that different to my dreams?

Right?! And what if my brain has dreamt it all up?

Hey, only need to think about it and everything suddenly makes sense to me

Have I really spent a quarter of my days settling myself into*

A fake world? Shit, I feel that I'm losing control

[Chorus]

And I feel alone, torn between reality and insanity

I can no longer take hold of life with both hands

I don't want to give in before my dreams are fulfilled

I need a remedy fast, it's tense

And I feel alone, torn between reality and insanity

I can no longer take hold of life with both hands

I don't want to give in before my dreams are fulfilled

I quickly need a remedy before my head explodes

[Couplet 2]

I'm far from being a vulgar beast

But does that make me a genius?

No, not one great psychic has predicted the good life for me

And I might've be born to make toilet bowls shine

But I'm far from being a young lout who's too curious

I look for the problem rather than its solution, so I'm stepping forward with

A fixed gaze and I'm starting to become furious

I just need an absolute proof, wait, hold on...

Those who tell me to stay rational are idiots

May as well get a lobotomy, it's cute

Fuck, they've already dropped too many hints

In this madness I have visions

They're making me more paranoid than Johnny and Benicio

I'm not saying that my thoughts are clear but maybe

The answers are to be found in places

Where I've never set foot, here we go I'm getting worried

What's going to cure this fever that's rising within me?

Shit, Anthony, get a grip...

[Chorus]

You'll end up alone, torn between reality and insanity

I can no longer take hold of life with both hands

I don't want to give in before my dreams are fulfilled

I need a remedy fast, it's tense

Fuck, I feel alone, torn between reality and insanity

I can no longer take hold of life with both hands

I don't want to give in before my dreams are fulfilled

I quickly need a remedy before my head explodes

[Couplet 3]

Anthony, Anthony be reasonable

If you keep putting it on, they'll silence you

I beg you to believe that life's not a stupid game

And you must adapt if you want to survive - what?!

Who's going to make me fit in the mould

Also, who can really see if my head's messed up?

Fuck the others, I won't change, my sermon's upfront:

If they give me shit

I'll respond by perforating bodies

I'll leave them alone, torn between reality and insanity

I do intend to succeed in elaborating my legend

I'll let them give in while my dreams are being fulfilled

The crown, the sceptre and the throne all go to me

'cos I'll never again be alone, torn between reality and insanity

I mean to succeed in elaborating my legend

Shit, I'm still waiting for this dream to be fulfilled

And I have to come back down to Earth before my head explodes

Fuck, it's a shitstorm

Angst is rising and I'm losing track of all this shit...

In my head...

[Bridge: 4x]

Thousands of thoughts are intertwining

My head's on fire tonight

For now, I'm waiting for my blood to cool back down

Everything's going haywire, it's about time that I look after myself

It hurts when

[Outro: voiceover]

You think that people are gonna dance to your pitiable stories? Don't you want to talk about money and women like everybody else? Yeah, there you go, women, love... love's great! Don't you have a song about love?
