Je reviens exprimer mes peurs et ma colère
Je ressens l'urgence, même si ma peau est claire
J'entends les gens dire "Oulà, les fachos reviennent"
Ces gens là n'ont pas tort mais sont en retard d'une guerre
Les fachos, les fachos sont là
S'il faut le voir pour le croire, ouvre les yeux, regarde
Les fachos, les fachos sont là
Rends-toi compte du danger ou relis tes livres d'histoire
Car pour moi c'est clair
Le borgne ou Hitler
C'est du pareil au même
L'un a eu l'pouvoir l'autre pas encore mais c'est la même "de-mer"
Les mêmes mensonges, les mêmes magouilles, le même amour de la haine

Oui pour moi c'est clair
Le borgne ou Hitler
C'est du pareil au même
Sauf que 50 ans après le diable ne parle plus allemand
Son immonde bla-bla il le gerbe en "cé-fran"
Ses mots sentent la mort et viennent hanter mes tympans
Il faut le réduire au silence pendant qu'il est encore temps
Ça fait trop longtemps qu'ils avancent
J'les vois au pouvoir dans certaines grandes villes de France
Ça fait trop longtemps qu'ils avancent
Alors, j'en appelle à la résistance !

La flamme, la flamme a grandi, a grandi, a grandi
Dans trop d'endroits le feu a pris
Faut-il qu'la moitié du pays brûle pour qu'on combatte l'incendie ?
La flamme, la flamme a grandi, a grandi, a grandi
Dans trop d'endroits le feu a pris
Faut-il que tout le pays brûle pour qu'on combatte l'incendie ?

J'ai tchek la vibes de Vitrolles, j'ai vu la police milicipale
Diplomatie minimale... Provocation maximale
Retour légal aux règles du règne animal
Ils se voudraient lions mais ne restent que chacals
Mais l'histoire a montré qu'les chacals peuvent faire mal
Très mal, dépasser l'abominable
J'sais qu'ils préparent leur arsenal
Pour une nouvelle guerre tribale
Déjà parfois résonnent les balles
Leur route est jonchée d'cadavres
Mais les gens s'habituent, leur présence est banale
J'débarque au mike et j'rêve d'un sursaut radical
Ne plus entendre parler de discrimination raciale

J'connais bien cette histoire elle mène droit aux chambres à gaz

La flamme, la flamme a grandi, a grandi, a grandi
Dans trop d'endroits le feu a pris
Faut-il qu'la moitié du pays brûle pour qu'on combatte l'incendie
La flamme, la flamme a grandi, a grandi, a grandi
Dans trop d'endroits le feu a pris
Faut-il que tout le pays brûle pour qu'on combatte l'incendie ?

We've got to fight them
We've got to stop them
We've got to fight them
Stop them now
Stop them now, right now

Eh t'sais quoi ?
La nuit dernière j'ai rêvé
Qu'on était tous devenus pompiers
Rassemblés par milliers
Et qu'on v'nait

Pisser sur la flamme
Pisser sur la flamme
Pisser sur la flamme [on v'nait pour]
Pisser sur la flamme

La flamme, la flamme a grandi, a grandi, a grandi
Dans trop d'endroits le feu a pris
Faut-il qu'la moitié du pays brûle pour qu'on combatte l'incendie
La flamme, la flamme a grandi, a grandi, a grandi
Dans trop d'endroits le feu a pris
Faut-il que tout le pays brûle pour qu'on combatte l'incendie ?

Eh France, eh France, réveille-toi !

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
