PAROLES

I don't blame you for what you are
Nor what you've been so far
You've done what you've been asked to

I just need you to realize
What stands before your eyes
While you try breezing through

Look around, go second guessin’
Is life for a chosen few?
There are hearts beating inside their skin
How come we never knew?

Run off to the side
You can still decide
Don’t go with the tide

Run off to the side
You can still decide
Don’t go with the tide

Tried to be in but never was
Smiling against the laws
Character always breaks through
Can you shut up to fit the norm?
Please sign the consent form
Wait there and join the queue

But it's time for you to get it
Freedom’s just a point of view
Brightness flickers over on the fringe
I’m sure you see it too

Run off to the side
You can still decide
Don’t go with the tide

Run off to the side
You can still decide
Don’t go with the tide

Forget oh what you are
And what you’ve been so far
Dreams never truly come true

I just need you to realize
What stands before your eyes
While you try breezing through

Look around, go second guessin’
Is life for a chosen few?
There’s a heart beating against your skin
It cannot wait for you

Run off to the side
You can still decide
Don’t go with the tide

Run off to the side
You can still decide
Don’t go with the tide

Run off to the side
You can still decide
Don’t go with the tide

The lyrics, music, groove, especially bass...

[davidfrisch]

Crazy how much emotions goes through me from 0:33

[IsraeliDino]

What a powerful song with a crucial message, especially in this time and age where it seems almost every second thing is an imitation of some sorts...
We can always still decide to stay true to ourselves and forge our own path, letting our hearts guide us...although in reality this is way tougher than it seems, easier said than done.
At least being aware of your ability to be original - to be YOU - is a start!
So go out there people, be yourselves and make the world a better place (from the littlest minute things to the largest if you're given the chance), just like L'Imperatrice is doing with their beautiful, exceptional :)

Seriously though I am falling more and more in love with each of your songs, slowly but surely appreciating them through and through. What a band, what a sound.

[dianaalva]

Sin duda, la favorita del álbum. El sentimiento de nostalgia, de suspirar y a la vez querer bailar, ese es el encanto de L'impératrice. Thanks for this song and the álbum is so Magnifique.

[justme]

la meilleure de l'album (pour moi) !!

[camilopinedaserje]

Im here because I was in Estéreo Picnic during their show. Amazing band.

[leven_be]

L'album est très réussi mais gros coup de cœur pour celle-ci !

[thechilledonion]

Morceau le plus sous-coté. Tout le talent du groupe est exprimé dans ce morceau, tant techniquement qu'émotionellement. Un must.

[dworkenlaw]

Seeing Flore and the group in NYC soon! Brooklyn Steel. Can't wait!!!!

[eduaroluna]

Por ellos aprendí francés y ahora planeado mi proximo año para residir allá

[mathildedsb]

Au top les variations à 2:28, 2:34 et 2:40

[mathildedsb]

Trop bon la fin a 4:06, j'aimerai que ça dure 100 ans ! 😍

That flourish at 3:01 is so life affirming

[Sgt_HotDog_Water]

I might be trippin balls but does anyone else see the background move

[alvarosoliscespedes]

2:34 is from "femme fatal" by Haruomi Hosono

[ExecutorQ]

Would be nice to see you play in Prague one day... I could die happy then.

[irinavolota]
