KoHndo – Comme des particules (English lyrics)
1st verse :
There’s some days when life can seem annoying to you, where
Where you need to go for a walk when the blues starts to set in, where
You stifle with all the problems, you feel lousy, hazy
You don’t have any horizon, the future tastes like doubts
Set sail, run hard, until you lose feet
You have to rip yourself off the ground, fly in order to emerge
Walk straight forward, the world is at our reach
In order to go out and meet life, sometimes two wheels are enough
You can lose your will to laugh or just your appetite
You can lose your will to live or simply the envy
I was down, I had just lost a homie
You found the words for me to forget about the others
We don’t always have the luck to be able to understand each other
To find the harmony of the world in two words and to get along
Last night, I was upset
You saved my soul from my unhappiness
Chorus (2x) :
There’s some days where we’re alone, held by a string
Lost at night, walking like tightrope walkers
Suspended to life, while waiting for everything to get overthrown
Under the rain, like particles
2nd verse :
You and me, we were sad, drunk, walking around town
Talking about our problems, about the women that inhabited our dreams
The damages that the hard drugs did to your life
About the stay, in order to get well at the psychiatric hospital
Great artist have the blues and they write about it
In 16 lines, like remains that are pilling up
At each verse that we listen to without even cutting
I remember the taxis that we would miss on purpose
We built our world back up, built back up our bridges
Found back the ties that gave me a reason
We talked about our past, related our exploits
Resisted to the calls of our fears in order to find hope
And each time that I hear your voice on the corner of the radio
I say to myself that angels have like a code for saving certain men
I was lost in the night, held by a cord
Apparently God visits you when death comes your way
Chorus (2x) :
There’s some days where we’re alone, held by a string
Lost at night, walking like tightrope walkers
Suspended to life, while waiting for everything to get overthrown
Under the rain, like particles
3rd verse :
The heart like a wreck, the feelings mislead us
We had to amplify our souls, like stars
The universe got back into phase, leaning against a bar
People would pass to get drunk, piled up against the counter
You were a star, I was a perfect stranger to you
I was a star so we drowned our pain in the thirst
Charismatic, we were noisy, sometimes magnificent
To the passers that were hanging out in the street, le bic (??)
We ended up at house parties, everyone was misled
To the woman who we were talking to, just so you know, we ended up getting married
Kiss your son and, you, be careful around girls
Your heart is fragile like the needle of a heroin injection
Bridge :
To all the people who save us from sadness
Or from committing the worst, yeah
Chorus (2x) :
There’s some days where we’re alone, held by a string
Lost at night, walking like tightrope walkers
Suspended to life, while waiting for everything to get overthrown
Under the rain, like particles
