lyrics

Regarde toi, tu n'as rien d'une esclave.
Et pourtant regarde le prendre le contrôle sur ta vie.
Ça me rend malade de te voir impuissante, incapable de choisir.
Garder les yeux ouverts sous l'eau,
Même dans les zones les plus troubles.
Garder les yeux ouverts sous l'eau,
Même lorsqu'une épaisse vase te fait rester sous son emprise.
Et si tu restes, tu ne deviendras qu'une ombre.
L'ombre de toi même ou bien alors son ombre à lui.
Tes bonheurs t’appartiennent, mais tes détresses aussi.
Regarde toi, tu n'as rien d'une esclave.

*****
Open Eyes.
Look at yourself, you're no slave.
And yet, watch him take control of your life.
It makes me sick to see you powerless, unable to choose.
To keep your eyes open underwater,
Even in the murkiest areas
To keep your eyes open underwater,
Even when a thick mud makes you stay under his sway.
And if you stay, you'll turn into a shadow.
Your own shadow, or his shadow.
Your joys belong to you, but your distresses too.
Look at yourself, you're no slave.
