Esquives Lyrics

quand vais-je enfin lever le voile
sur le non-dit des banquises,
des nuits sans étoiles :
la bienséance exquise,
les noirs desseins…
ne jamais donner prise
garder la main
et sourire, l'air de rien…
quand mettrez-vous un point final
à tous ces feux d'artifice,
au vide abyssal
de ce double langage
d'équilibriste
aux traits imperturbables
qui brouille mes pistes…
lâcher la proie pour l'ombre
oser les coupes sombres
m'effacer et me fondre
dans la nuit
fuir d'ici
sans faire de bruit…

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
