À quoi je joue
À quoi je joue

Je joue de la guitare
La solitude parfois est immense
Tout plutôt que d'être ce passant qui traverse le temps
De temps en temps
Alors je part à la dérive
Mon lit est un navire
Un atelier où je vais pour l'éternité
Voyageur d'un instant présent
Je ne sais pourquoi je suis si triste
J'aimerais appeler quelqu'un, mais qui Dieu
Je me sens seul
Viens je viens, tout m'isole

À quoi je joue
Je joue de la guitare

Je sens que j'hallucine
Et j'ai peur de partir comme un fou vers la mort
Et j'ai des grands instants de lucididididi
Et j'ai des grands instants de lucidididididididi
Et j'ai des grands instants de lucidididité
Et j'ai des grands instants de lucidididité
Fuck the system do it, do it, do it yeah (4 fois)

Choisir entre tous les gens qui m'entourent
Comment faire une telle preuve d'amour
Fuck the system do it, do it, do it yeah
Fuck the system do it, do it, do it yeah
Et j'ai des grands instants de lucididididi (7 fois)

Je joue de la guitare
Je joue de la guitare

Faisait pas beau dehors
And she wasn't a whore
Rêvait de pardonner, cherchait à discuter
Peut-être qu'elle avait le sida
Peut-être qu'elle le disait pas
Comme la neige a neigé
Ma vitre est un jardin givré
Tout l'ennui que j'ai, que j'ai, que j'ai
Pleurez oiseaux de février
tous les étangs gisent gelés, gelés, gelés

Fuck the system do it, do it, do it yeah
Choisir entre tous les gens qui m'entourent
Comment faire une telle preuve d'amour
À quoi je joue, je joue de la guetare
À quoi je joue, je joue de la guetare

Je sens que j'hallucine
Et j'ai peur de partir comme un fou vers la mort
Et j'ai des grands instants de lucidité
Et j'ai des grands instants de lucidité
Il y a il y a les sirènes qui chantent, qui chantent chantent les marées
Il y a il y a les sirènes qui chantent, qui chantent chantent les noyés
Vers les îles, vers les îles

C'est le temps d'embrasser les fleurs de cimetière
C'est le temps de mourir
À la guerre comme à la guerre
C'est le temps de partir
Faisait pas beau dehors
Fuck the system do it, do it, do it
À la guerre comme à la guerre
Dans son silence, un poisson-lune
Philosophait au fond des brumes
Mais jamais Nemo ne saura
Les noires pensées du poisson-chat

Les sous-marins se font la guerre
Sous les tropiques du cancer
Mais jamais Nemo ne saura
Les noires pensées du poisson-chat
Mais jamais Nemo ne saura
Les noires pensées du poisson-chat
Choisir entre tous les gens qui m'entourent
Comment faire une telle preuve d'amour, d'amour, d'amour
Fuck the system do it, do it, do it, do it yeah
Fuck the system do it, do it, do it, do it yeah

Je sens que j'hallucine
Et j'ai peur de partir comme un fou vers la mort
Et j'ai des grands instants de lucidité
Et j'ai des grands instants de lucidité
Et j'ai des grands instants de lucidité
Choisir entre tous les gens qui m'entourent
Comment faire une telle preuve d'amour
Fuck the system do it, do it, do it yeah
Fuck the system
Je joue de la guetare

    We think it is a commentary on his life as a rock-star. He can't trust those around him, those who scavenge on his fame, those who would infect him with disease .. to some extent he can't stay away from it because they are his 'existance' but occasionally (perhaps when he is back at home with family) he has moments of lucidity where he sees how wrong that is and how the others use him ... ???

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
