lyrics
All lyrics by Mawuli Boevi and Patrick O'Brien
Alors, je t’appelle coup de foudre ?
Dès le premier jour, j’ai tout de suite vu que tu n’étais pas comme les autres.
Bien que nous soyons tous les deux issus des fruits d’aventures
Tu as toujours fait preuve de tellement de courage. Bien sûr,
Prisonnier de mes émotions, j’étais piégé entre l’envie et l’obsession.
Malheur à celui qui sonna le glas lorsque, précipitamment,
Je pris ma décision.
J’avais hâte, mais si ça ne tenait qu’à moi,
J’aurai volontiers repoussé le moment de ma libération
I can feel the air is now thinner than the usual
Into it I’m vanishing exponentially, and the residual
Is nothing to behold, but I’ll be holding onto you, sure
If we travel to oblivion, then I’ll be whole again in Yeshua
What about you? Most consistent of all my visitors
Nothing new, news, books, both true and fictional
Lauded your tenacity to us before the exodus
To this bedlam we never chose, it was conditional
You’re unstoppable
Do you bend
You’re unbreakable
But I’ll try
And Then brick by brick
I will tear this whole world down
You’re unknowable
But do I care
You’re unspeakable
And Still I want
And Then brick by brick
I will tear this whole world down
Alexa! Alexa!
Well, as expected, as fleeting as my innocence
But at least having her made you bearable, my elixir
I’ll sing about her the longest, my due diligence
No man is an island, we Philippines
She would write the sentences,
I swiftly executed like guillotine
Nonchalantly distinguishing the clouds from the kerosene
Weaving our way through this labyrinth you put us in
Felt so long and it stood out, like a limousine.
You’re unstoppable
Do you bend
You’re unbreakable
But I’ll try
