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 ... ???

Shudder to Think
This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation. Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.

Avenged Sevenfold
Matt Shadows their lead singer says the song was written as per request from the developers of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Watching the initial trailers for the game & looking at production sketches reminded him of the 'S-Town' podcast & its main protagonist, John B. McLemore. Matt also comments specifically on the lyrics: "I decided that the lyrics would shadow McLemore's life." In 2012, antiquarian horologist John B. McLemore sent an email to the staff of the show 'This American Life' asking them to investigate an alleged murder in his hometown of Woodstock, Alabama, a place McLemore claimed to despise. After a year of exchanging emails & several months of conversation with McLemore, producer Brian Reed traveled to Woodstock to investigate. Reed investigated the crime & eventually found that no such murder took place, though he struck up a friendship with the depressed but colorful character of McLemore. He recorded conversations with McLemore & other people in Woodstock. McLemore killed himself by drinking potassium cyanide on June 22, 2015 while the podcast was still in production. In the narrative of the podcast, this occurs at the end of the second episode; subsequent episodes deal with the fallout from McLemore's death while exploring more of McLemore's life & character.
