Not So Hot
02:50
|

Who are you to decide what's punk or not?
Besides thinking you're really hot
You've probably done your homework hiding behind your computer keyboard.
You must be bored
Criticizing people who are much closer to the top than you are
Nobody knows you, you've never done anything and you're far from being a star.
The people you're judging took part in this movement, this way of life and helped shape it while spreading it all over the world...
You're trying to put the world down to lift yourself up because even you know you're not necessarily better than anyone else.

Knowingly
03:07

I know full well that if I don't change, I'll regret it later.
I act myself, for my arteries, like an obsturator
I could choose to suffer voluntarily by imposing rules on my diet, by exercising, by sleeping more... to live a healthier life before I lay dead on the floor.
But in reality I'm far too cowardly to get off my ass and change my habits, and yet I do it knowingly as if a superpower were controlling me
It's much easier to drink several beers, smoking weed every day, eating fatty foods and staying up late. Habits I shouldn't keep
We always have the choice, and despite the accumulation of my health problems, I don't change.
And the day I'm seriously ill I'm going to find it strange
Unfortunately, I only think of pleasure, but I have to take certain measures.

We're The Sum
03:14
|
|||
|
Over time we evolve.
The people who surround us influence these changes.
Tthat's why it's important to surround yourself with good people, not toxic ones who ruin your life.
There are enough negativists in life in general that we don't have to suffer the effects of them depending on who we associate with.
I've put up with this way of being for too long, it's too much, get out of my life.
Be positive and choose the right people, because we are the sum of the people around us.

Where does the need to show you're happy come from?
Is it to prove something to someone?
Or maybe your insecurity?
Could it be to generate jealous?
Only the beautiful things are shared publicly, because the other side of the coin can often hide certain shortcomings.
It's normal to share beautiful moments. One photo or video at a time, from time to time, without going into too much details...
Personally, I think it's a case of wanting to show off so that people will envy you, because as for me, I live things but I don't necessarily publish them.
Everyone has their own way of seeing things and this was my point of view.
Only my point of view

In fact, the reason I'm so musically productive is because I fell into it when I was a kid.
There have always been musicians in my family, and I've always been attracted to the art.
Today, although I'm not a virtuoso, I'm pretty good at it and I'm at one with my instrument.
I started early by taking a guitar in my hands and just strumming the strings without really knowing what I was doing, but I was discovering.
Rare are those who will be able to understand because it's more than a passion.
With the set-up I've built up over the years, I can record quickly without having to reinstall everything each time.

The Time Has Come
03:02
|
|||
|
I think the time has come to take care of myself and slow down.
When I think of all I've done since I turned 42, I can say I've had a full life.
I've managed to do everything I wanted to do and more
I can say I've had a lot of fun.
At my age, I'm probably halfway there or even more.
I've probably got less left to do than I've done, so I'm going to try to do it better than the first part of my life to finish on a high note.

Ignorant As We Are
03:24
|
|||
|
When you think about it, we're just a speck of dust in the universe.
Microbes on a planet that itself is so small in relation to its surroundings.
And what is it, anyway?
We only have a small view of what's out there.
And so little within our reach.
We know absolutely nothing, and most of what we hear is theory and speculation.
We can hardly explain what is happening or what has happened on earth.
Are they hiding something from us? Or are they as ignorant as we are?

Lifetime
02:45
|
|||
|
Just because you're healthy and beautiful doesn't mean you're going to stay that way.
Anything can happen and life hangs by a thread and an accident happens so quickly.
Cherish every moment you're given.
Make the most of it because we don't know when it's all going to end.
I don't think you should wait until you retire to travel and let go of your madness.
After a lifetime of work, your energy isn't the same.

Major-League Head Case
03:08
|
|||
|
For some, success goes to their heads and on their lives they extend.
Even if in reality that success comes from their imagination.
they tell you about themselves with great determination.
They no longer pass through doorways and don't stand in their way.
These are the people I can't be around regularly, because they only talk about their popularity.
I'm so quickly dosed, that's what I hate the most.
You can be proud of what you do but top talking about you.
Take a little interest in others and we'll have fun like brothers.

Leading Us To Our Doom
03:48
|
|||
|
Technology is fascinating.
It can help solve a lot of problems.
On the other hand, it can also lead to misery.
Already with the tools at our disposal, many people use them to cheat, so they don't force themselves to think, which in the long term will make us stupider.
Weapons of mass destruction that threaten us more and more every day.
Human play God without thinking about the consequences of their actions for humanity and future generations, because all that matters is population control and wealth.
With this thirst of power, we're heading straight for a wall.
Technology is leading us to our doom.

Trustworthy
02:57
|
|||
|
I'm sorry, but I don't need any more friends and I hope you'll understand.
I'll stick to the precious people who are already part of my life.
They've already been selected and passed the manners test and that's why, for me, they're the best.
I know that they are trustworthy and that we are, for the most part, on the same wavelength.
They are good quality but there aren't many of them.
Nothing complicated, we tell each other our real business and even if we don't see each other for months it's as if nothing had changed.
So please don't hold it against me, but I've already got what I need and I'm going to take good care of it.
I'm sorry, not really, I say this friendly.
