[FR] Tyler, The Creator - IFHY : traduction des lyrics

Video:

-----------------------------------------

Lyrics originaux :

I never would've thought that
Feelings could get thrown in the air
Cause I accidentally caught that
I need some new boxing gloves, shit got hectic whenever I fought back
For example, ten minutes can't go past without you brushing my thoughts
That's fourteen forty a day so I'll say a hundred and forty four times
I think about you or something like that
Lost match, the fucking thought of you with somebody else
I don't like that; cellular convos getting left in the wrong
Cause I get so fucking mad when you don't write back
This isn't a song, I just happen to rhyme when I get emo
And find time to write facts (fuck)
I love you

Can we add some more color, um, like, some more, yellow
Yeah, that's good

[Hook](x2)
I fucking hate you
But I love you
I'm bad at keeping my emotions bubbled
You're good at being perfect
We're good at being troubled, yeah

[Verse 2: Tyler, The Creator]
Girl, you fucking with my emotions
The fuck is all this noise about?
I even considered picking up smoking
You turned to a bitch, who let the dogs out?
But in my dog house
My bitch is the raddest
Crazy who makes me the happiest
Can make me the saddest
Look Alice
Let's get lost in your wonder-er-land fuck an atlas
You're perfectly perfect for me
What the fuck is this, practice?
Actually, if you even consider leaving
I'll lose a couple screws in due time, I'll stop breathing
And you'll see the meaning of stalking
When I pop out the dark to find you
And that new dude that you're seeing with an attitude
Then proceed to fuck up your evening
Make sure you never meet again like goddamn vegans
Cause when I hear your name I can not stop cheesing
I love you so much that my heart stops beating when you're leaving
And I'm grieving and my heart starts bleeding
Life without you has no goddamn meaning
Sorry -- I'm passive-aggressive for no goddamn reason
It's that my mood change like these goddamn seasons
I'll fall for you, but I love you

I'm bad at keeping my emotions bubbled
You're good at being perfect
We're good at being troubled
Yeah

[Bridge]
The sky is falling girl, let's try to catch it
The sky is falling girl, let's try to catch it
The sky is falling girl, let's try to catch it tonight
The sky is falling girl, let's try to catch it
The sky is falling girl, let's try to catch it
The sky is falling bitch, let's try to catch it tonight

[Pharrell (Tyler)]
C'mon baby
Even though I hate you
I still love you
I love you
And Salem, my love (I know)
I'm passive aggressive (I'm sorry, fuck)
(Come here)
I like when we hold hands
(You're the best around)
See I get jealous (fuck)
And if I see that nigga (If I see him)
I just might kill him (look)
(Look. I wanna strangle you, till you stop breathing)
Love, love, love
(Spend the rest of my life, looking for air)
(so you can breathe, or we can die together, you and me)
(Fuck, look)
I'm in love (Love)

[Hook]

[Wolf/Salem]
Wolf: Yo, why is Samuel such a fucking dick?
Salem: He isn't such a badass actually. He's only here because he ran away, because some shit happened back home. He's actually a dweeb
Wolf: Yo, what happened?

----------------------------------------------------------

Lyrics traduits :

Jamais j'aurai cru
Que les sentiments puissent flotter dans l'air
Mais on dirait bien que j'ai choppé quelquechose
Faut que je change de gants, ça part en couille quand je me défends
Il se passe pas 10 minutes sans que je pense à toi
1440 par jour, ça nous fait 144
fois où je pense à toi, un truc du genre
À la pensée de te voir avec un autre
Je pète les plombs
Je deviens fou quand tu me réponds pas
Ce n'est pas une chanson, je pose juste mon flow quand j'deviens émo
et que je couche ma vie sur le papier
Je t'aime


Un peu plus de couleurs, genre du jaune
Ouais, ça le fait

[Hook](x2)
Putain, je te déteste
Mais je t'aime
Je sais pas garder mes émotions
Tu sais comment être parfaite
On sait tout foutre en l'air

[Verse 2: Tyler, The Creator]
Meuf, tu joues avec mon cœur
C'est quoi ce putain de bruit ?
J'ai failli me mettre à fumer
T'es devenu une chienne, il s'est passé quoi ?
Mais dans ma niche
Ma chienne est la reine
Cette folle qui me rend heureux
Sait aussi faire mon malheur
Regarde Alice
Faut qu'on se casse dans ton pays merveilleux
T'es parfaitement parfaite pour moi
C'est quoi, ça, l'entrainement ?
Au fait, si tu penses ne serait-ce qu'une fois à partir
Ça va me rendre complètement dingue. Je perdrai la raison
Et tu verras ce que c'est d'être harcelée
Quand je surgirai de l'obscurité pour venir te trouver
Quand tu seras avec ce nouveau gars en soirée
Je viendrai pour tout baiser
Je mettrai tout en oeuvre pour vous séparer
Parce que quand j'entends ton nom ça me fait trop criser
Je t'aime trop, quand tu te barres, c'est ma santé qui fout le camp
et mon cœur saigne quand tu t'éloignes
La vie sans toi n'a aucune putain de sens
Désolé, je sais pas pourquoi je m'énerve
Mon humeur change comme les putain de saisons
Comme les feuilles je tombe, mais seulement pour toi

Je sais pas garder mes émotions
Tu sais comment être parfaite
On sait tout foutre en l'air

Yeah

[Bridge]
Le ciel s'effondre, chérie, on va ramasser les morceaux
Le ciel s'effondre, chérie, on va ramasser les morceaux
Le ciel s'effondre, chérie, on va ramasser les morceaux, ce soir
Le ciel s'effondre, chérie, on va ramasser les morceaux
Le ciel s'effondre, chérie, on va ramasser les morceaux
Le ciel s'effondre, chienne, on va ramasser les morceaux, ce soir

[Pharrell (Tyler)]
Allez Chérie
Même si je te hais
Tu sais bien que je t'aime
Et Salem mon amour (je sais)
Je suis sur la defensive (Désolé, merde)
(Viens là)
J'aime quand on se donne la main
(C'est toi le meilleur ici)
Alors je suis jaloux
Si je vois ce batard
Je crois que je vais le buter
(J'ai envie de t'étrangler, jusqu'à ce que tu respires plus)
Love, love, love
(Le reste de ma vie, à chercher mon souffle)
(Alors respire, ou on meurt tous les deux)
(merde, regarde)
Je suis amoureux (Love)


[Hook]

[Wolf/Salem]
Wolf: Yo, pourquoi c'est un connard ce Samuel ?
Salem: Au final c'est pas un dur, il s'est juste barré de chez lui parceque c'était la merde là-bas, c'est juste un boloss.
Wolf: Yo, il s'est passé quoi ?

[FR] xRepentancex - Knowing : traduction des lyrics

xRepentancex est un groupe Vegan Straightedge qui nous vient du Royaume-Uni.
Les morceaux de ce groupe traitent pour la plupart de la cause animale.
Pour ce qui est de "Knowing", le titre que nous allons traduire aujourd’hui, c'est à moitié vrai, puisque, comme nous allons le voir, le morceau traite plutôt de la difficulté qu'éprouvent parfois les artistes/militants à exprimer leur sentiment face à l'ignominie rencontrée au cours de leur lutte pour leur cause.

Le titre : Knowing 

Lyrics Originaux : 

Flesh
Pressure to shout these words, weighs heavy on my back
Caught between a need to speak and the impulse to react
Rash words like swords thrust into swine, severed deep and seeping wine.

Thoughts like flesh on wire barbs, tearing wounds from faded scars
And the words wont come….and the stares burn cold…
And every time I try to express these feelings,[ the words] cut my throat like shattered glass

Hung myself on the words of others, Nailed upon a cross of verbs, I’m drawing a blank, While burning with the rage of a thousand sleepless nights, searching for my voice, with a mouth filled with blood and severed tongue

Clawing in the darkness I’ve become Scratching for some substance to retrieve Knowing that I’ll never match my peers

Drowning
----------------------------------------------
Traduction FR :


Chair
Le besoin de crier ces mots se fait pesant
Tiraillé entre le besoin de parler et la volonté d'agir
Les mots se feront l'épée transperçant les porcs imbibés d'alcool

Pensées, telles la chair sur le barbelé, le sang ruisselle d'une plaie longtemps refermée
Et les mots manquent… lorsque les regards glacials se font brûlants
Et quand je tente de les exprimer, ces sentiments me prennent à la gorge

Pendu aux mots des autres, cloué sur une grille de verbes, je dessine du vide. Alors que je cherche ma voix en vain au cours de mille nuits sans sommeil, ma langue tranchée, et toute sanglante.

À tâtons dans les ténèbres, je creuse et je recherche la substance, mais je sais que jamais je n'égalerai mes pairs.

Couler

--------------------------------------
Analyse :

On peut constater que dans cette chanson est exprimé la détresse vis - vis des sentiments éprouvés.
Il n'est pas rare, lorsque l'on défend la cause animale, de rencontrer des images, être confronté à des événements qui peuvent profondément nous outrer, à un point tel que les mots ne suffisent plus pour exprimer ce que l'on ressent. C'est ici ce qui est démontré dans ce titre.
On remarque une note de désespoir due au fait que les mots semblent parfois ne pas être assez forts pour exprimer ce que l'on ressent. Et cela malgré une volonté d'acier d'exprimer cette rage, et d'employer les mots tels "l'épée transperçant les porcs imbibés d'alcool" (ndtr : les porcs fait référence aux hommes coupables de maltraitances envers les animaux, et non pas à l'animal en lui-même).

Le titre expose aussi une certaine forme de respect et admiration par rapport aux autres artistes, qui sont en quelque sorte les "modèles" du groupe puisqu'il est clairement exprimé : "je sais que je n'égalerai jamais mes pairs". On distingue donc une certaine détresse du fait qu'il soit difficile pour le groupe de défendre sa cause aussi bien que le font certains autres artistes du même genre.

Cette détresse tourne peu-être même ici à l'angoisse profonde, puisqu'il est indiqué dans les paroles que cette recherche constante du verbe juste pour s'exprimer entraîne une quête permanente au cours de milliers de nuits d'insomnie. Si c'est le cas, il semble que cette recherche artistique / militante vire à la paranoïa dans le but de trouver les mots justes pour défendre sa cause.


ccl : On peut constater dans cette chanson que le groupe xRepentancex est vraiment engagé pour la cause animale, puisqu'il se livre à nous dans cette chanson en nous exprimant le fait qu'il est particulièrement difficile pour lui de trouver les mots justes lorsqu'on aborde ce sujet, tant ce dernier lui tient à cœur. On ne peut alors que constater une dévotion sans faille et une détermination à toute épreuve du groupe dans sa recherche constante pour égaler les autres groupes du mouvement que ces derniers respectent et admirent profondément.

[EN] Taulard - Dans la roche : lyrics translation

Hi everybody, this will be the second time I translate a song from the Band Taulard, 4 piece band from Grenoble, France. Actually the texts are really cool and I sometimes can relate to them a lot, and this is why I chose to pick another song from them in order to share it with the english-speaking community.

The song is called "Dans la roche" (In stone) and deals with the mistakes that can be made in a couple when you don't want the same things but still try to selfishly get them.

It can be related on a smaller scale to all these times we forget to think about our loved one as a person who has his own will and interests, and that he doesn't only exist to interact with us.





French Lyrics :

depuis des mois qu’on s’embrassait
j’étais impatient de coucher avec toi
après un temps t’as accepté
par la suite t’en demandais bien moins que moi
ça ne m’est jamais venu à l’esprit
que tu n’approuves plus ce qu’on faisait la
dès lors que tu l’avais consenti
je pensais que c’était ok à chaque fois

ton nom est gravé dans la roche
quand est-ce que tu reviendras?
je t’aimais mais je t’ai pas respectée
quand est-ce qu’on se reverra?
ton nom est inscrit sur l’écorce
reviendras-tu dans ces bois?
je t’aimais et j’ai tout fait foirer
quand est ce qu’on se reverra?

maintenant en y réfléchissant `
je comprends mieux ce qui t’a poussé à partir
j’ai mal agi sexuellement
en insistant quand c'était pas nécessaire
après le bac t’as déménagé
depuis des mois déjà t’étais froide et distante
mes abus m’ont été révélés
j’en avais vraiment pas conscience

Translated Lyrics : 

We had been kissing for months
All I wanted was sex with you
After some time you yielded
But clearly wanted it less than I did
It never came across my mind
That you couldn't agree with what we were doing
Since you had said yes one time
Seemed like it was ok everytime


Your name is now set in stone
Will you ever come back ?
I loved you but showed no respect
Will I ever see you again ?
Your name is now carved in the wood
Will you ever come back in those woods ?
I loved you but destroyed everything
Will I ever see you again ?


Now I start to realize
And I understand what made you leave
I have been such a prick
My insistance was unhealthy
After the end of school you moved
For months you had been cold and distant
My flaws now all have been exposed
If only I had known better

[EN] Taulard - Les abords du lycée : translation

Taulard is a french modern punk band from Grenoble.
Les abords du lycée is a song about loneliness you feel as an adolescent.
The feeling of being powerless to fulfil the desires you feel.
Tortured and willing to see the days fly away to reach a better place. 
This is "les abords du lycée" the place we are stuck in and willing to escape.
The end of high school days is sclose, and soon it will be over forever.

French Lyrics 

j’ai mes idées qui bourgeonnent ce qui me donne un mal de ventre

j'en ai marre de tout garder pour moi-même
j'ai des envies pressantes que je voudrais communiquer
tout lâcher en parler aux plus attentionnés
quand enfin partirai-je? cet endroit me fout des vers
j'ai même pas quelqu'un à qui parler
dire que ça dure depuis des siècles ce prof de maths qui m'ennuie
et j'écoute j'écoute mais je comprends vraiment rien ce qu’il me dit

c'est pas du tout ce que je voudrais faire on me demande pas mon avis
à quoi bon rester la en classe j'ai pas vraiment d'amis
et je rêvasse pensant aux jours futurs
et puis personne n'a l'air de comprendre c'est une phase jeune homme
il faut vraiment la mener au bout il faut que tu t'adonnes
moi j'aimerais tant passer à autre chose

oh mon dieu chauffeur de bus
je supporte plus la radio que t'écoutes à longueur de journée
oh mon dieu chauffeur de bus
j'aimerais que tu m'amènes très très loin des abords du lycée
pourquoi m'enseigne-t-on cela?
ça me parait pas prioritaire je n'en peux plus de patienter
pourquoi une telle pression?
alors que je me fous de ces matières je veux pas en faire mon métier
mais le pire c'est pas cela c'est de se retrouver confronter
à une famille qui parle pas du aux douleurs du passé
et puis l'ennui qui persiste sur ta peau d'adolescent
que fait-on un samedi soir quand on habite isolé?
moi pourtant j'ai pas choisi cela
j'aimerais bien pouvoir danser sur ces rythmes effrénés
je ravale mes envies et je croupis dans ma chambre
tout ça sera pas vraiment possible tant que j'habiterai chez mes parents aaah!

Mais c'est pas pour vous plaire mon cœur s'arrête
je vais à fond sur mon vélo chantons à tu-tête
et je m'affale sur l'inachevé
à dix-sept ans je suis parti mes jambes s'effondrent
l'école ne reprend plus lundi l'effet s'estompe
et je titube pour accéder à ma chambre
qu'il est loin qu'il est prêt le temps du lycée


-----------------------------------------


Translation

Ideas through my mind, my belly is painful

I can't keep this for myself anymore

I have so many wishes, I want to talk about them

Explain everything to those who care

When will I finally leave ? This place makes me so sick

No one listens to me

It's been lasting forever that math teacher bullying me

I listen, listen but never understand what he says

I don't want to do this, I've never been asked about what I want

Why staying in this room I have no friend here

I just dream about future days

Nobody understands, young man it's just a phase

Just go throught it, and be dedicated

I just want something else

My god, bus driver,

I hate the songs you play on the radio

My god, bus driver,

Take me away from highschool street

Why do they teach me ?

This is not really important to me

Why so much pressure ?

I don't care about these subjects, it will never be my job

The worst part of the story is my familly

Who never talks because of the weight of the past

Being an adolescent is being bored

What can you do on a saturday night ?

I never chose that life

I want to dance on these crazy rythms

I forget what I want and just stay in my room

Because this will never happen while I live at my parents' ahhh !

I don't do that to please you

Riding my bike, let's all sing along

I think about the unfinished

17 I'm leaving on my crumbling legs

No school on monday, the curse is broken

Tumbling to reach my room

So far away the highschool days

Lyrics originaux (EN)

This insatiable city sways
The living quiver and blocks quake
As the souls sunk into the stones rise in rage
The urban decayed- The murder a day
In whose lost names came the loss of liberty
So alive again to haunt these stricken streets they scream:

We'll tell you just what did us in...
We'll tell you what the real crime is...

Real crime is half below the poverty line
Real crime is abuse of authority sanctified
This is a state of emergency alright

In the destitute desperation abounds
We hit the bottom long before we hit the ground
Lacking opportunity, forced into a drug economy
Caught in a circle of criminality on the outskirts of society
Trying to survive and failing
Those who blame rather than alleviate dig the graves

No one will rest in peace in a police state

Real crime

Traduction FR

La ville ogre vacille
Le bouillon des quartiers est en furie
Les âmes s’effondrent mais les pierres grondent
Désuétude urbaine - meurtre quotidien
Qui par leur nom maudit ont volé la liberté
Mais ressuscités ils rendent vie à ces rues sinistrées de leurs cris :

Nous savons comment nous en sommes arrivés ici...
Nous savons où est le vrai crime...

Le vrai crime, c'est 50% de personnes sous le seuil de pauvreté
Le vrai crime, c'est l'impunité des représentants de l'autorité
Aujourd'hui nous sonnons l'alarme

Pour les démunis seul le désespoir est en abondance
On touche le fond sans pouvoir reprendre pied
Ils nous poussent vers la drogue
Le cercle vicieux de la criminalité dans notre société
On essaie en vain de survivre
Et ceux qui nous crachent dessus ont creusé nos tombes

Pas de repos éternel sous les coups de matraque

Voici le vrai crime

Analyse

Couplet 1

La ville ogre vacille
Le bouillon des quartiers est en furie
Les âmes s’effondrent mais les pierres grondent
Désuétude urbaine - meurtre quotidien
Qui par leur nom maudit ont volé la liberté
Mais ressuscités ils rendent vie à ces rues sinistrées de leurs cris :

La première partie de la chanson nous présente la misère urbaine, un ogre-ville tremblant sous sa criminalité.
Les paroles font surement référence à Philadelphie, la ville d'origine du groupe, mais peut aussi peindre un portrait plus général des villes américaines sujettes à un fort taux de délinquance. Ce couplet expose une ville à l'abandon laissée en proie au crime. De cette ville sortent les lamentations de ceux qui y vivent.

Couplet 2

Nous savons comment nous en sommes arrivés ici...
Nous savons où est le vrai crime...

Les habitants, qui vivent au sein de ce lieu, connaissent la cause de la décrépitude et le vrai mal qui s'est emparé de leur ville.

Couplet 3

Le vrai crime, c'est 50% de personnes sous le seuil de pauvreté

Le vrai crime, c'est l'impunité des représentants de l'autorité
Aujourd'hui nous sonnons l'alarme

Le groupe accuse la misère sociale omniprésente dans la ville, et la politique répréssioniste des autorités vis-à-vis de la population. Le vrai crime n'est pas celui commis par la population, le vrai crime est de laisser la population à elle-même.

Couplet 4

Pour les démunis seul le désespoir est en abondance
On touche le fond sans pouvoir reprendre pied
Ils nous poussent vers la drogue
Le cercle vicieux de la criminalité dans notre société
On essaie en vain de survivre
Et ceux qui nous crachent dessus ont creusé nos tombes

La misère est la véritable cause des maux qui pourrissent la ville.
Les habitants n'ont pas d'autre alternative que des pratiques illégales pour survivre.
Ces pratiques sont dangereuses et immorales. La drogue s'insinue dans les vies, qu'on le veuille ou non.
Les vrais fautifs sont ceux qui n'ont rien fait pour empêcher ça.

Couplet 5

Pas de repos éternel sous les coups de matraque

Voici le vrai crime

Pourquoi punir alors qu'il faut éduquer ?
Une terre brûlée ne donnera jamais de fruits. 

Avis sur la chanson

On a affaire à du bon gros Kingdom, bien agressif et puissant. "The Rage that Guides", l'album duquel Real Crime fait partie est vraiment 100% dans la même énergie. 

Ce qu'on appréciera surtout c'est la mentalité du groupe qu'on retrouve dans les lyrics. On a ici une grosse dimension sociale. On est loin du bashing pur et dur des drogues qu'on peut avoir chez certains groupes Straight Edge. Kingdom comprend et explique ce qui va mal, cherche les vrais coupables des maux de la société au lieu de pointer bêtement ce qui va mal. Cette approche mature et engagée est très appréciable et rend le message du groupe encore plus profond. 

Kingdom marque vraiment le coup en disant que les junkies et les criminels ne sont pas 100% à blâmer, mais que la société et le monde qui les a créées et laissés pour compte est responsable des dérives et crimes qu'ils passent leur temps à dénigrer et pointer du doigt. 

Merci d'avoir pris le temps de lire l'article, n'hésitez pas à laisser un commentaire pour partager vos impressions sur le morceaux, les paroles, si vous avez une autre interprétation, ça sera super intéressant de voir ce que vous vous voyez !
Je vous invite à partager le blog et l'article si ça vous a plu, vous pouvez aussi me suivre sur Twitter @nick_vdbg pour du contenu régulier !

Everyone is no one in BSM

Je suis né à Boulogne sur Mer, dans le nord de la France, une ville cotière un peu nulle, mais que j'aime tellement, puisqu'elle m'a vu naitre et grandir. C'est de là que m'est venu l'idée de cover la chanson "Everyone is someone in LA" de Felix the Housecat afin de la détourner de manière à la fois désabusée et humoristique pour parler de ma hometown. Si jamais un groupe local de BsM est tenté de reprendre la chanson avec les lyrics made in BsM je suis tout à fait open !

Enjoy and remember, it's all for the lolz

Original song : Felix the Housecat - Everyone is someone in L.A.




==> Original Lyrics

Look at these stars just you and me
Living our lives like sandra d
Its enough sites on the Hollywood sign
All night parties filled with alkaline
Shopping all day on Rodeo Drive
Out all night just to stay alive
People working hard making dreams come true
Palm trees lined up the avenue

Everyone is someone
Everyone is someone in L.A.
In L.A.
Movies and the scandals
Stories and the vandals
In L.A.
In L.A.

Reality is in the mirror in a costume
Thrown out of the front door of The Viper Room
Cruisin' past the cars on the Sunset Strip
All the famous friends and their ego trips
Cocktail parties at Stanton Hotel
Sucking down clams on a half shell
All day record shopping on Melrose
Dancing all night in our prettiest clothes

Everyone is someone
Everyone is someone in L.A.
In L.A.
Movies and the scandals
Stories and the vandals
In L.A.
In L.A.

Big scores
Fast steels
Lost souls
Hot wheels
Night drive
Neon lights
Strip clubs
Gang fights
Hustlers makeup
Half year breakups
Tattoos
Satin shawls
Pornstars
Kilos

Everyone is someone
Everyone is someone in L.A.
In L.A.
Movies and the scandals
Stories and the vandals
In L.A.
In L.A.

Stopping for a drink at the Troubadour
Redudant earthquakes on Mulholland Drive
Seems like the world is for me and you
3 day afterparties at the Rumba Room
Out on the horizon all you see is smog
Speeding on the freeway just to get out of the fog
Going to spend the day on Venice Beach
Seems if everything is within our reach
.
Everyone is someone
Everyone is someone in L.A.
In L.A.
Movies and the scandals
Stories and the vandals
In L.A.
In L.A.

Everyone is someone
Everyone is someone in L.A

Lyrics:

Bring forth the Light,
To raze colonies
In a single cleansing breath.
Don't sleep, my queen;
The sun rises one less time
Than it will set.
Now overhead, the stars
That guided our forebears
Have turned to dust.
And underfoot, the churning
Framework of this earth
Succumbs to rust.

Bring forth the Light.

These dreams of Thunder displace,
Dismantled spirit's burnt bare-
Sylphs in the shards resounding,
"Open to the Field!"
Depatterned, floating in Grace,
Mapping the fragments...
"For to awaken and reassemble,
Enter by the narrow gates."

All has been inscribed
In the footnotes of time,
From the rising dead
To the falling rains;
From these proving grounds
To the burial mounds
Of fallen satellites'
Skeletal remains.

From a timeworn note's
Subtle feeling-tone,
To the coiled scales
In this mistaken mode.
Felt the birch bark walls
Of the temple shake,
When those who from heaven,
To this earth came.

From Eleusia
To the Killing Fields;
From the Promised Land
To the coming plague;
From the trenches of
Every whispered war,
To the future wreckage
Of the Large Array.

For the gate is wide,
And the way is broad,
That delivered me
(Insufferable in-between)
From the fleeting dawn
To this endless night,
In the labyrinth
Of the Iron Kings.

Now my footsteps take precedence as the traffic sounds fade,
And this city's lungs have purged their last breath.
I'm held captive at the curb before the World's End Lane,
Where I pledge my self to uncertainty.
From this shattered breaking point each new step must be
Nothing short of the saddest act of sorcery.
In search of that fleeting adversity,
O, merciless emptiness, that used to possess me...

So farewell Persephone, at rest on the altar,
Who dared to merge stone with the skies.
What curses of men guard the bridges you built, dear?
What doorways, what star-gates have you left behind?
So I'm following stardust, what's left of the twilight,
To get to that last jagged line.
To the edge of the earth by the age of rebirth.
I'll dissolve, end this realm, and reclaim what is mine.

Take in the knitting air,
Part with the cleansing breath,
Destiny turns the soils in which we manifest.
Suffer the burning coals,
Yield to the spiral tides,
Peer into the darkness, that all may be defined.

(swing wide the narrow gates)

                                                                                                                               

Ce sont des paroles, qui liées à cette musique, évoque la désolation et le désespoir. Mais ce titre donne aussi un espoir de renaissance dans le néant. Elle évoque aussi ces forces mystérieuses qui parfois nous possèdent sans que l'on sache pourquoi.

Ce titre est vraiment mon préféré de ce groupe grâce à ces éléments qui en font une chanson puissante et mystique à la fois.

"Crows" by While She Sleeps ( Clip + Lyrics + Analysis )

LYRICS 

I have seen the tides change course, without a warning, without the winds or the waves.
She will empty the graves because we are all the same.
I'm reaching out to you, so you could all be saved.
Give me your hands.
This is the end.
We're all gonna fucking drown.
Let's make a change now.

These black clouds above your head, won't turn white until your dead.
I live this life with no regrets.
I live and I learn, I forgive and forget.
We'll rise against this.
We will rise one more time.

I'll fly with a murder of crows.
I'll swim were the ocean has chose.
But Rome wasn't built in a day.
To Heaven or to Hell only time will tell.
Through the sun into the grey.
I will fight before I pray.

Give me your hands, this is the end.
All will be gone.
What happens tonight echoes through eternity.

Analysis

For my second lyrics analysis I've chosen the song "Crows" by the British band While she Sleeps, in order to make some promo for them, because they are a great band and their texts are really good, as we'll see during the analysis.
As far as I've analyzed the lyrics I've decided to study them with you line by line and then sum up the whole story behind the lyrics, because there aren't a lot of ideas I could exploit individually.

 I have seen the tides change course, without a warning, without the winds or the waves.
==>The song begins with the narrator seeing a huge change in the world he lives in, something impressive, but that was quite unpredictable...


She will empty the graves because we are all the same.
==> I assume the narrator call that big change "she" as in many songs of the post-hardcore / hardcore , the threat and the cause of pain is more than often feminine. So, the narrator says, that big change is a change that could cause the end of all life.

I'm reaching out to you, so you could all be saved. 
==>Because of that, the narrator calls out everyone to react and act to avoid the danger due to those changes.

Give me your hands.
This is the end.
We're all gonna fucking drown.
Let's make a change now.
==>It's basically the same thing here as the narrator compels us to follow him, trust him and help him to act against those changes that could bring us all down.

These black clouds above your head, won't turn white until your dead.
==> My favorite line out there I think.  It kind of says that the course of events is not changeable, that the curse that flies over the people will not disappear, except if it succeeds in killing us.That there is not much hope of getting away from it alive.

I live this life with no regrets.
I live and I learn, I forgive and forget.
==>There the narrator tries to lead by example, saying he has given up all fears, all hate and hopes in order to live the few hours he might have in the best way he can.

We'll rise against this.
We will rise one more time.
==> He also says that, if all men can get along, they'll might have the power to resist that danger, going out there for one big struggle in order to resist the danger. 

I'll fly with a murder of crows.
==> In the next lines, it seems like the narrator is telling what could happen to him. This line here kind of means that he thinks he could die, as the crow is often a representation of death.

 I'll swim were the ocean has chose.
==> The narrator says he'll let the destiny bring him where it thinks he should be, that he will try not to overreact to the things of life.


 But Rome wasn't built in a day.
==> He says that the task will be tough, referring to the lines where he talks about a possible resistance to the change. 


To Heaven or to Hell only time will tell.
==> He tells that he doesn't know where "the ocean" will bring him, he feels like he must let destiny act for him, even if he can't see where this will get him. 

Through the sun into the grey.
I will fight before I pray.
==> He also evokes one destination where destiny could lead him, and says that he is ready for that last one big struggle.


Give me your hands, this is the end.
==> One more time he calls out everybody to help him in this final "battle"

All will be gone.
==> And that's why he calls everybody out, because  this is the last "fight" before the end of everything.

What happens tonight echoes through eternity.
==> This line is particularly interesting, as it looks like a quote from the action picture "Gladiator" when the Roman General Maximus motivates his troops before battle with a sentence like this one: "What we do in life echoes in eternity". So this makes us tend to think that these are the last words of the narrator before battle.


So basically the song is about some kind of a direct message that the narrator gives us. The message is a call to make changes in our lives, to help each other to resist the upcoming changes that will affect us all in a tragic way if we can't get altogether. the narrator calls us to follow him, but also says that he is not a leader, but that we are the ones that will lead him. We are "the ocean" that will lead him to his destiny. And that's why he needs everybody to give him his hand. We quite don't know what his the nature of that change, we can imagine this is an ecological message, a political one, social, or an overall fear of the combined effects of everything that doesn't go well in our world that could threaten our lives and way of life, and that needs us to act together as one to make the world safer and better.

Acoustic version of "Crows"

"Wife Beater" by The Plot In You (Lyrics and analysis)

LYRICS:

this house was trashed, fists were red with the blood of his children
her water breaks, damned a new life into theirs
these months have blown away, your impulse shakes these walls to shame
their hands reach out to you and leave the same
she's lost respect for you, you died the day your son was born
there's nothing left for you, there's nothing left for you to do
you're just a nightmare, you're just a ghost,
you'll wish you never had this life before
Now your sons have turned away, the oldest takes your place
one day he'll have the strength to take you on
Father - "I don't know what you expect from me anymore,
I have made mistakes but that's not me anymore"
His fists get tighter, your days grow shorter
Son - "You raise your hand again, you just might lose it.
I am not playing around father.
You better pray before you touch her, I will tear you apart."
the nights it's darkest, the children hidden in their rooms
this is your chance, to make her scream again
he smells the plot in you, he knows you've waited to long
the time has come for you to get what you want

 Analysis


   I've chosen to analyze the lyrics of "Wife Beater" by The Plot In You for one main reason, which is : controversy. The title himself compels people to be a bit suspicious about what the song will be about.
As a matter of fact, this analyze of the song will be about trying to answer one big question: Is this song against domestic violence or does it make an apology of it ? And whatever will  be the possible answers to this we'll try to explain them furthermore.Basically, the song talks about a man who beats his wife, and the song kind of explains what could make a man want to hit his wife. But on the other hand, it also shows how the beating father is starting to be cast aside by his son who finally defends his mother.
This song is mainly based on the relation between the father and the wife through their children, way more than between the man and his wife themselves.

   The character of the father is the main one in this song, of course. First of all, the aspect of hate towards the mother is quite important, even if I said that the relationship with the son is more important. The father seems to hate the mother for various reasons. It seams like the father thinks it is the mother's fault if the children she gives birth to are born in a bad family and will have a bad life (ex:" her water breaks, damned a new life into theirs" which basically means that the mother is giving birth to a child that will have to live the poor life they have)  We also see that the father is sort of disgusted by the mother herself (The previous quote kind of shows that the man talks about his wife as if she was some animal of some kind "her water breaks")
   Another important point about the character of the man is that he is truly jealous of his children.("you died the day your son was born") This quote really make us feel how the man is reacting about his family life, he really considers that his children have stolen his place in the mother's heart. This feeling of jealousy creates a bit of sympathy for the character, which looks really in pain to feel like he has been replaced by his children, even if it does not make for any excuses.
   Finally we also see that the father, even though he is violent and despicable because of the hatred he is devoured by, kind of realizes he was wrong and tries to change his way, at least in appearance. ( "
Father - "I don't know what you expect from me anymore,
I have made mistakes but that's not me anymore"") We see that the father, when he talks to his son tries to look like he has realized he has made mistakes, and maybe want to look like he is ready for a new life.

   Opposed to the character of the violent father is the character of the son, which is said to have "replaced his father".  (as said "Now your sons have turned away, the oldest takes your place") The father considers that the son is taking his place, so he blames the son for taking his place, but also the mother for replacing him, leaving him apart.
   This replacement takes effect in the only part where another character except the father is active, where the son talks( : "You raise your hand again, you just might lose it.
I am not playing around father.
You better pray before you touch her, I will tear you apart." ) This part really shows that the son is conscious of his role, as a protector, and as the man who the household, and in fact, as a father.
   We also see that the son develops a strong will  and a stronger anger towards his father, as he doesn't believe his father who tries to make excuses.

So having those two characters opposed from each side of the beaten wife make us think about that song like the display of the fall of a man who thinks that the persons who are the closest to him in his life have stolen everything from him. He thinks his wife stole his youth and he thinks his children are stealing the love of his wife, love that he already lost when he became violent; This song is about the vicious circle that makes a man hate those he is supposed to love and protect. This song does not say if the man is right or wrong, it just kind of shows : "how it happened".
