New World 01:04
Welcome to this new world, Where anxiety reigns, Where kissing your wife could be a big mistake. And you're so alone, With your mask and your spray, Trying to move in an infected way. Welcome to this new world, Welcome to this new day, Where work and money are just the only way. And yes you're alone, In this incivility, The human race in its great stupidity. So I live now and sometimes. Between fear, war and crimes. So I live now and sometimes. So we live in a world where I don’t see too much of us now ! where I don’t see too much of us now.

Looking back when I was 20, With my band we thought we were free, and we were free. Writing songs was so much fun, Playing gigs, traveling to countries, that good feeling. In my head, I realize, it was just the good old times In my head I realize... MTV at 5 o clock, Just waiting to watch some Punk Rock, it was our dope. Now i'm old, I'm 39, These very old times are still shining, fuck i'm smiling. In my head, I realize, it was just the good old times In my head I realize... In my head, I realize, it was just the good old times In my head I realize... I realize.

So, one day life begins And You land in this arena, Without shield, protection or something to prevent. You laugh innocently, You love sincerely, But the human race knows cruelty. And you take the blows and disappointments in the head. And you keep in mind this sadness and you look ahead ! Race against the rage (against the rage) And You're not alone. Race against the rage (against the rage) You feel like a stone. Race against the rage (against the rage) And You're not alone. Because in this life, beautiful things erase the past. And later in your life, When calm presents itself. Climbing a mountain is never without hardships. The disease and the death, The lies and dirty tricks, Are like a punch in the face. And you take the blows and disappointments in the head. And you keep in mind this sadness and you look ahead ! Race against the rage (against the rage) And You're not alone. Race against the rage (against the rage) you feel like a stone. Race against the rage (against the rage) And You're not alone. Because in this life, beautiful things erase the past. Because in this life, beautiful things erase the... Because in this life, beautiful things erase the past.

Old Memories 02:11
And you look back into your photographs To remind the good old days, When you were just a little child Just smiling in this way. And you look back into your photographs To feel these good old days, But please forget, they'll never be back, it's the past and it's ok. You can cry, just sometimes, and it's ok. Reminding your happiness back in the days. And you look around this world. And you look at this world, Which erases our innocence day after day. And you look at this world, Which makes us empty and sad day after day. And you look around this world, It's our way. And you look back into your photographs To remind the good old days, Your mom's cakes, your father's jokes, Just impossible today. And you look back into your photographs To feel these good old days, A little smile around your mouth It looks like you're happy. You can cry, just sometimes, and it's ok. Reminding your happiness back in the days. And you look around this world. And you look at this world, Which erases our innocence day after day. And you look at this world, Which makes us empty and sad day after day. And you look around this world, It's our way.

There's this guy who can't walk, He just sits everyday, In these eyes, the memory of that fUcking day. Each day at the hospital, He's learning to use his legs, The next year he will be back on the racetrack ! And everyday he realizes He just has a different life, And everyday he realizes He's 25, still alive and stronger than ever ! And he sings alone, WALking on his own, In front of this world, He has a flame he can't ignore. And he sings alone, Walking on his own, In front of this world, To cross the barriers and to sing this song. There's this girl who looks at this world, Imagining what it coud be, Lying in bed for twenTy years is not easy. Each day at the hospital, A new treatment for her lungs, And she knows she will be back to normal days ! And everyday she realizes She just has a different life, And everyday she realizes She is 35, still alive and stronger than ever ! And she sings alone, Breathing on her own, In front of this world, She has a flame she can't ignore. And she sings alone, Breathing on her own, In front of this world, To cross the barriers and to sing this song. You can be born with a difference or a disease, You're like a rock everyday. Every past season, is a victory. So, we're different people and that's our way ! And we sing along, And We're not alone, In front of this world, We have a flame we can't ignore. And we sing along, And We're not alone, In front of this world, To cross the barriers and to sing this song. To cross the barriers and to sing this song. The message is clear, it's time to stop this song.

Hey ! I'm like the fastest train And i'm not here to bear my pain. No, i'm just here to be a flame. Let me explain, I don't want to lose my brain, Just to enjoy and stop the bane, And i'm walking towards this lane. Until the end ! All along, hoping for a long, Life without repetitions. Feel the grace, all over my face, To feel these emotions. And exclaim, Life is like a race ! Hey ! I'm like the fastest train And i'm not here to bear my pain. No, i'm just here to be a flame. Let me explain, I don't want to lose my brain, Just to enjoy and stop the bane, And i'm walking under the rain. Until the end, To be this train, And i'm not here to bear my pain. No, i'm just here to be a flame, And once again, To be this train, To fight and burn again this pain, Because life is like a race. Because life is like a race !

We're just sitting waiting for another day. We're just hoping to have some better ways. And we live our life like fuckin' strangers, We think our time will be better, We all hope to see the sun shine again. So we're waiting For better days, Watching the clock running and see our world day by day. So we're waiting For better days, Watching the clock running and see our world day by day. For better days.

March 23rd 03:57
And I, start this song like a pray. Reminding me of all your breath, Without words, on this date. And I, confront this world everyday, Ignoring what It could be, With your presence beside me. And I cry everyday. Even my smiles are just fake, A sad clown out of place. And I try everyday. To make you proud of my way. March 23rd, I won't forget this date. Now I start to live without you. Like a stranger in this world, Like a pup without his mum. And I see your smile in the sky. So dazzling with clarity, Frozen for eternity. And I cry everyday. Even my smiles are just fake, A sad clown out of place. And I try everyday. To make you proud of my way, March 23rd, I won't forget this date. I just hope you're doing fine, In this world where you took place. I can feel your mind each second of my life. On the other side, You have found a quiet place, Where sorrows and pains have been over for a while, Where no one can change it. And I cry everyday. Even my smiles are just fake, A sad clown out of place. And I try everyday. To make you proud of my way, March 23rd, I won't forget this date. I cry everyday. Even my smiles are just fake, A sad clown out of place. And I cry everyday. To make you proud of my way, March 23rd, March 23rd, I won't forget this date.

Never Forget 03:09
Please, get out of my head. Your shadow still revolves around me, I can't do anything. But please, get out of my brain. Your voice still resonates in my ears, Whenever I try to breathe. And i'm falling, And i'm falling in This black hole you left here around me since you disappeared. And i'm falling, And i'm falling in I try to live with it everyday but it's not easy. Please, get out of my dreams. Let me learn to live without you, I try to rebuilt myself. But please, never forget. All these wonderful years spent together, We laughed for everything. And i'm falling, And i'm falling in This black hole you left here around me since you disappeared. And i'm falling, And i'm falling in I try to live with it everyday but it's not easy. Please don't forget, All these years, all these moments that we lived. Please don't forget, All these dreams, all these projects that we had. Please don't forget... whatever... I'm falling, And i'm falling in I try to live with it everyday but it's not easy. And i'm falling, And i'm falling in This black hole you left here around me since you disappeared. And i'm falling, And i'm falling in I try to live with it everyday but it's not, But it's not easy.

And It's time to take this life in your hands, To erase the past of your brain, To wipe the tears off your face. You will find, The true value of these things, The true breadth of this life, You're not a slave in an office. 20 years ago, And you dreamed of your perfect world You were a big boss, a firebird. With a big house, millions dollars, the perfect way. It was not your reality. It was just their conformity. It's never too late to change this way. And you think it's time, gonna be alright. Come on, take your own bag and change this way. And you think it's time, gonna be alright. Come on, 'coz every day is your destiny, destiny. And it's time, today is another new day, Take your van, your dog and your way, To hit the road for a long journey. You will find, A beach, a bridge, a city, Amazing moments easily, With your guitar, you will be free. And now, And you live in your perfect mood, Like a rockstar you're so cool. With a big smile, dozen dollars, the perfect way. And It's your reality. And It's your conformity. It's never too late to change this way, never too late to change this way... And you think it's time, gonna be alright. Come on, take your own bag and change this way. And you think it's time, gonna be alright. Come on, 'coz every day is your destiny, destiny.

Yesterday 03:25
So you're fine, Remembering your joy, Contemplating your mom And playing with your dog. So, we're fine, Looking for all these years, Forgetting all this pain, The life was so perfect. Think alone, everyday, cause your mind won't forget. It was great, and perfect, yesterday. Think alone, everyday, cause your mind won't forget. It was great, and perfect, yesterday. We were young, Naive about this world, Smiling each other, We knew the word respect. Think alone, everyday, cause your mind won't forget. It was great, and perfect, yesterday. Think alone, everyday, cause your mind won't forget. It was great, and perfect, yesterday. Think alone, everyday, cause your mind won't forget. It was great, and perfect, yesterday. Think alone, everyday, cause your mind won't forget. It was great, and perfect... Yesterday.
