1. WE WERE ONLY KIDS :

We didn’t know the place
They spoke about a wooden house
We could see the mountains
We were sulking as always
On the edge of a forest
Our gaze everywhere

It was in ninety-two
Or maybe ninety-three
Just a winter week-end
Sitting by the fireplace
We were thirteen and twelve
We were-leven and ten

We were only kids
In a wooden chalet
Love is another thing
Than silence you made

I’ve been calling us using N, A, P & M
At school I was studying
The cycle of life
« Daddy, what does it mean
To be a horny beast? »

We were only kids
In a wooden chalet
Love is another thing
Than silence you made

We were only kids
In a wooden chalet
Love is another thing
Than silence you made

Laughing and no more fun
Silence then a crying child
Two sisters became one
Two brothers and nothing…

…We were only kids
In a wooden chalet
Love is another thing
Than silence you made

How dare you my dead father
And accomplice step-mother
I want to break this fucking spell
That you goddamn put on us
« You don’t have to tell your mother »
A baffling contradiction

Teenage years find the truth
But it blasted out of the sky
Even right now, watching you
I see an ox, harmless and old
When I think about that bed
I remember the saddest bed
No ride her, no touch us
But we saw what we shouldn’t have seen
I don’t remember the end
I wish I wasn’t really there.

2. BLACK GOLD

I’m gonna tell you
My short and recent story
They called me black gold
Saying my fate was bold
Yes and they were so right
Beyond their wildest hopes
To so many I gave life
And soon I’ll take it back

Tryin’ to pull me out
Most had a black face
But at the same time
Some had the golden face
Looking too much for me
Some have gone so loony
Playing with me the luckiest
Became quickly the richest

I’ve begun my decline
They’ll soon do the same
Painful it will be but
That’s not my concern
All they had to do
Was leave me underground
Now I take my revenge
Warming up the atmosphere
You know what ? it’s just
The beginning of their worst fear

I’m the one who made
The whole US dream
I’m the light, lube and fuel
The fire for their dream
Thanks to me they have won
So many deadly wars
I know that it’s untold
No life without black gold

Their GDP would be dead
Without my existence
They always talked about
Bills and eternal growth
How could they believe this
In a world without limits
They’re gonna burn me to death
As well as life on earth

I’ve begun my decline
They’ll soon do the same
Painful it will be but
That’s not my concern
All they had to do
Was leave me underground
Now I take my revenge
Warming up the atmosphere
You know what ? it’s just
The beginning of their worst fear.

3. PANDEMIC LOVE

She looks so shy so distraught
I realize that I am as well
A few blond hair exceed from her cap
Her cheekbones are red from cold
Yes and mine are red from her now
I’m already falling in love

But we’ve been confined
Young lovers from afar
Risking my life to be with you

She got sick from Covid-19
It was forbidden but I joined her
And together we’ve fallen so far
Her body was nothing but fever and trembles
You can’t breathe my love so I give you
A little breath with my kisses

We’ve stayed days and nights
Embraced, life is a risk
We are a pandemic love
We are a pandemic love

The following summer we’re free again
Sun rays on your blue eyes
Freedom now but for how long
We were a pandemic love.

4. DREAMING IS NO SOLUTION

I wish a storm would
come & blow this shit
away. Or a bomb to
burn the Town & scour
the sea. I wish clean
death would come to me.

We awoke, talking. Telling dreams.
an explosion during the night

A new siren. Not cop, Fire,
New York Ambulance or european
movie riot news but the strange
siren predicting war. She ran
to the window. The yellow thing
had risen.

Dreams are at once fruit & outcry
against an atrophy of the senses.

Dreaming is no solution.

Jim Morrison

5. FOR A FATHERLESS SON

You will be aware of an absence, presently,
Growing beside you, like a tree,
A death tree, color gone, an Australian gum tree —
Balding, gelded by lightning — an illusion,
And a sky like a pig’s backside, an utter lack of attention.

But right now you are dumb.
And I love your stupidity,
The blind mirror of it. I look in
And find no face but my own, and you think that’s funny.
It is good for me

For a fatherless son
For a fatherless son

To have you grab my nose, a ladder rung.
One day you may touch what’s wrong —
The small skulls, the smashed blue hills, the godawful hush.
Till then your smiles are found money.

For a fatherless son
For a fatherless son

Sylvia Plath

6. SUMMERTIME FOLK

It’s summertime, warm loving bodies
that need to be reborn

It’s summertime, you offer me a world
that is already gone
for a salty night licking the shadow of your skin
you surrender

It’s summertime in your eyes
smiling eyes that carry me away
you sway, you move, amazing ecstasy
you left your shyness outside

Funky July, you make dance the night
to the rhythm of the stars
nothing matters, the sky’s a sea of light
you reveal your desire

Funky July, you make dance the night
to the rhythm of the stars
nothing matters, the sky’s a sea of light
you reveal your desire

It’s summertime, teenage years =
desire + distress
the world is divided but lovers
multiply it endlessly

It’s summertime, we’re naked and gold
water tells us to come
you climb on my hips
your lips on mine, everything is told

Funky July, you make dance the night
to the rhythm of the stars
nothing matters, the sky’s a sea of light
you reveal your desire

Funky July, you make dance the night
to the rhythm of the stars
nothing matters, the sky’s a sea of light
you reveal your desire.

7. LIGHT OF UKRAINE

How to sleep at night
even whiter
these beams in the dark

how to climb to you
ladder of light
the rungs are missiles

how to freeze violence
two pigments
to love you in blue and yellow

Light of Ukraine
Light of Ukraine
hides in the shade of Russia
you give strength to my heart
Light of Ukraine

how to be myself
while I kiss you
in a vertical war

how to engrave your skin
you stole the fire
to engrave the void

how to wrap you in my arms
you shatter the sky
and its bombs

Light of Ukraine
Light of Ukraine
hides in the shade of Russia
you give strength to my heart
Light of Ukraine
Light of Ukraine.

8. AND NOTHING ELSE

I don’t want to know what she says
Or what she does
Where she comes from
Or where she goes
What she has
Or what she is
To know everything about her
Even what is unknown

Maybe he’s there
But I don’t see him
Missing from my night
When the lights get out
And when the sur rises
He nears without hugging
Then trembles everything
The pulp of a page staying inside

I want to become your sores
Injuries and tears
And nothing else
To know the child you were
Become yours
And nothing else

To know her wanderings, her tenderness
Her madness
To breathe in her suffocations
The stars she looks up to
I wanna tremble with you
I wanna drink in your skin
To get intoxicated by your fears
To be reborn of you

You got into my head
A break-in in the night
And nothing else
That dream, your lips on mine
Mmmmhhhhh…
And nothing else

You got into my head
A break-in in the night
And nothing else
That dream, your lips on mine
Ooooooohhhhhhhh…
And nothing else

If you did not love your lover
And I did not love mine
I would love to love U.

9. WARMING MY CLIMATE

Rich and old white man
You are not like me
Ok boomer get out of my life
I will be all those you hate

Listen to what I have to say
I am a Woman
You want to silence me
But I laugh, flooded with insolence

Fuck you, we were only kids
I am a Child
Under the bark, the lemon
And you show us balls & cock

Look at the color of my skin
I am Black
You want to break me, wipe me out
Put me to sleep on THC

Feel my prayers on fire
I am a Shaman
You make war on my trances
But it fuels my rage

On YouPorn your sex fix
I am LGBTQIA2+
You point at me
But I break your so small dick

Instrumental piece (piano)

11. ONE BREATH

Ten… nine… eight… seven… six…
Five… four… three… two… one…
Immersion

You spent your whole life not breathing
An ocean and no limits to the blue
Split the water with your body
Then silence, darkness, smothering

Mother sea, the liquid of you
Going down to the source
Everything but the truth
Reflection, heartbeat & sun
You’re driving me crazy
You’re diving me blue
One love, one death
One silence, one breath

Now your life is to inhale – exhale
Listen to the ocean, it reveals you
Underswim, drunk with beauty
Between the lines you say “no jail!”

“I am that who perceives, so are you”
We can’t sea anything
Anything but the blue
Retention, a movement of light
You’re driving me crazy
You’re diving me blue
One love, one death
One silence, one breath

Bluuuuuuuuuuuue…
Blue, all around blue!
Blue to the point of madness
A life-threatening emergency
If you’re afraid to die, you won’t die
If you’re not afraid to die, you will die
One love, one death, one breath!

See the diffraction
See the blue arches
The light comes from everywhere
Including you

You want to forget
The unbearable surface noise
The noise of the world above
Reality is there, not up there

You want to forget
The unbearable surface noise
The noise of the world above
Reality is there, not up there

One love, one death
One silence, one breath.
