Horses 04:28
The crowd is speaking loud About life and about spies And whisper I tame flies In this world there are no lies But you are lying to my face Saying we’ll foresee everything Then I search for stoned answers Among strange bothersome scales Tame the coming changes There are flowers in my brain Same old days run wild Wild, horses in the hills Now I'm lighter on my feet I am younger than I was Sure I left some things behind And we weathered many a storm This is time to blaze About signs and blows Let's be aware of Days off are a bore and slow If we all try and all try Gonna make it alright All acting in those thirsty deserts Waiting for our fading world to end
2.
Dig 03:12
Digging a deep hole in the field Where I could sleep and stay until Another morning with no deals Or maybe there’s another way Desperately searching my thoughts and feelings In antique dramas, in fog and dreams By seeking Achilles through ashes You get all blind and all deceived If in everything I try There ain't no words floating A sign that time has come To go on living like a child Outside I hear some strong wind growling And they said : “War was coming” Someday they'll know how measly they were Fallen leaves on the porch of ignorance Yes, everyday that same old story That we'll be glad and dead or gone and sorry The news proclaim : "Be a good boy son, go find a job, go and move on" I guess they’d say, when it’ll all be a fury If in everything I try There ain't no words floating A sign that time has come To go on living like a child When I woke up this morning Oh, I felt old and all diseased No reason to turn on the news No reason to feel alive in these rooms Shooting stars they're now my friends They make me draw a world in my head And with my friends we were shooting Life on Mars, staring kinda ghostly to look-in

Night & Day 04:36
Night and day This light flickered and flashed Over my head Lying across my face I’m afraid, now I’m afraid, for a long time It keeps me awake Everyday fighting I am just afraid I’m afraid, for sure With this sickness over my head Can I give this lying light ? Can I take all my time ? Can I be not afraid by ? Can I just live ?

Calexicoco 03:12
Well, Honey, I didn’t write to you You know, this letter I needed to give you Grave, powerful and brilliant All you deserved to Hey, Girl, don’t even cry I’m alone, now, against my stone My rolling, blown and faded one All I deserved to In the middle of the fog T-t-t-t-take off I should have told you, my old devoted friend I should have told you I should have told you, old devoted friend of mine Hey, a big beautiful blue sky Went down through my eyes Fibbing, disorientating and sarcastic All I expected Well, I have no joker anymore, no one Even a magnificent “Hallelujah” could make nothing I stay pale and half dead Desperately blind in the sun All I expected was Really really really… disagreeable As I blew my erased words I should have told you While the moon cried in our bed and was acting a parade to beauty and pain Old devoted friend of mine I should have told you that my head would be cut at midday

Don’t let it fall, don’t let it fall If you believe in this dream Don’t let it fall, don’t let it fall If you believe in our dream Some will stand in our way Bitching about us But you will come though Cause there’s no other option Come away with us now On this road full of pitfalls Full of strangers and vultures Come away with us all Far from a burning city Far from a screaming country We’ll erase their tales I wait outside Come away with us all With no fanfare at all Think about it when you smile There’re no objections There is no pain but only gain For a breath or projections There is no objection But all the stuff is out in the rain Hope I don’t know anymore who I am And we don’t know ourselves better Sweet hope Side by side, we walk Oh To catch moments in spite of monologue curfews We won’t fall Even if our dreams are too tall Even if they are We won’t fall Even if our plan is just foolhardy and lost before Even beginning Cowards are gone And rush hour has come We won’t fall… We won’t fall

We've been craving all the day For the glow of our vacuum trust I feel coming with the night Vapors of lost consciousness Red and yellow trees turn black And so my insanity And I want it fine But I walk the line Every time I lose my mind I saw you lying to Death With the Joshua tree Next to the building and the fools Between megalomania stripes It's lonely, cold and blue That we try to forget the past Never ending Peaks and valleys I’m roaming alone at night And I want it fine But I walk the line Every time I lose my mind Maybe I just want you to sing more, now And I wanna be free Stay my dear People are lost they make me feel cold We are craving, now Maybe I just want you to stay my dear

I won’t be afraid anymore I know you’re so full of substance You opine, you blame and you lance People who’re wrong in your eyes Let me see, man, just what you can do With running and a pole, yes Let me know how you colonized my mind They threw away infected words, down the line When Kings and Queens were still in denial Ah, tu la sens cette absence de lumières, prises et prisées ? Tu la vois, cette absence d’atmosphère ? Félonne. Laisse-moi te regarder mouver, dans le vide. Pourtant, en ce lieu je suis bien là. Près des lois. Proche d’en découdre avec les déconvenues. Prêt à me battre avec les plus ardus. Je suis à vous, mes amis, mes aïeuls, mes emmerdeurs. Prenez-moi par la garde. Donnez-moi cette envie, cette envie de panache ! Prenez garde ! Prenez garde ! On criera, par dehors, par-delà ces toits, ce que je ne suis pas. Je m’en fous. Je ne veux plus être effrayé. Jamais ! “And I won’t be afraid anymore” On me glisse ça dans l’oreille. Les yeux attentifs, les oreilles grandes ouvertes. Qu’on ne me presse plus. Qu’on me garde de vous regarder. Dans tes yeux, je ne remarque plus que ça. Une errance. Cette errance. Une errance. Ah, on ne crèvera pas d’ennuis, non ! Mais crèvera-t-on l’abcès ? Non, par cause de vous. Mais regarde-toi, porter si bas ceux qui ne te siéent pas. Dans ma course, je ne te verrai même plus. Briser. Nous briser. Brisé, tu perdras ta tristesse. Tu ambitionneras tout ce que tu ne défends pas. Oh, laisse-nous voir ce que tu peux prêter de toi. Laisse-nous voir ce que tu n’entends pas. Laisse-moi voir ce que tu n’es même pas. Laisse-nous. Moi, je ne perdrai plus, non. Laisse-nous. Cause I won’t be afraid anymore Go back and think about what you’ve done Well, man, I’m pretty sure you got your money back I won’t be afraid anymore I know you’re so full of substance You opine, you blame and you lance People who are wrong in your eyes

All that time we spent apart I know that everything was true I felt you living in my heart I saw you knockin’ at my door And you were freezing my bones I’m not quite sure who you are But my friend you know that I think I love you And you were freezing my bones In the deepness of your eyes Maybe I truly saw your soul Slowly coming for a ride In the shallows of Neptune And you were freezing my bones I’m not quite sure who you are But my friend you know that I think I love you And you were freezing my bones

about

Rotters Damn Laval, France

Voilà le premier album pour le quatuor mayennais. Il fait jaillir de nouveaux joyaux de ces terres folk-rock arpentées en maîtres. Moins bruts, plus ciselés, truffés d’arrangements et de contre-chants, façon Bon Iver ou Other Lives. On entend ici une trompette morriconienne, là un piano entêtant, parfois encore des ascensions héritées du post-rock ou la fougue poétique d'un Bertrand Cantat habité. ... more
