Our universesAgainst the current
All back to front
Not for a long time!
When you’re on earth
Bring me up to date
So I can imagine
Our merging.
We want each other
Under high-tension
But not in the grip
of nerves, I reconcile
your laughter
And my electrons
A dance of life
Dance of balls
Nothing that’s everyday
Only good times
Head back to front
Not for too long a time.
When you’re on earth
Bring me up to date
So I can guess
The intentions.
We electrify ourselves:
Maximum tension
The body-circuits
Of two lovers
We are lit up
Animal light / wisdom
The school of the
electro-magnet
Regain the meaning
of life, I'm thinking
Gone past troubles
When you, you’ve left
Regain the senses
Moments that are playful
The march of fingers
Of my desire of you.
When the current flows
there’s also the threat
Of time that slips away,
of time that separates us,
and the current passes
I have in me the boldness
Of magnetic fields
And that’s magnificent!
Our universe
Has counter-currents
Return to earth
And for good.
When you’re hoping for me
Bring me up to date
So I can consider
A rebellion.
We become static
When I tell him no
No more than 6
Short speeches.
I’m afraid
Of electrocution
My insulator
Is passion.

Nos universA contre-courant
Tout à l'envers ...

Quand tu es sur terre
Mets-moi au courant

Et mes électrons
Un bal de vie
Bal de ballons
Rien d'ordinaire
Rien que du bon temps
Tête à l'envers ...
Pas trop longtemps.
Quand tu es sur terre

Que je devine ...
Les intentions.

Retrouver le sens
De la vie, je pense
Passe par l'ennui
Quand toi, tu es parti.
Retrouver les sens
Moments qui s'insolencent
Des défiles de doigts,
De mon envie de toi.
Quand le courant passe,
aussi la menace
Du temps qui se barre,
du temps qui nous sépare
Et le courant passe,
j'ai en moi l'audace
Du champs magnétique,
et ça c'est magnifique !
Nos univers
A contre-courant
Reviens sur terre
Et pour de bon
Quand tu m'espères
Mets-moi au courant
Que j'envisage...
Une rébellion
On se statique
Quand je lui dis non,
Pas plus de six ...
Allocutions

D'électrocution
Mon isolant
C'est la passion
REFLECTION: a complementary

Our worlds ensnareCross current so strong
Turns here and there
But not for long!
When time we share
Renewing our bond
I sense within
rapture begun.
To really feel
Such heightened tension
Be without fear
to merge, as one
complete, you're here
Feel my emotion
Life dances free
So much to come
Run free of care
Only to have fun
Senses impaired
Can we go on
When you are there
Renewing our bond
So clear to me
we must go on.
Our spirits free
to rise, not yet fall
Let ours just be
not two but one
Spirits glowing
Life's aura in all
Learning to please
Power flows we're one
Reliving the sense
of a life immense
Passed beyond worry
You went away from me
Reliving all sense
Moments impure, intense
To feel reach out across
To need you without loss
Comes the current past,
I fear it won't last
Our times of one heart,
lost time we spend apart
Feel the current pass,
energise so fast
As one may we seek,
two hearts one soul complete!
Our worlds ensnare
Cross current so strong
Return, you swear
You won't stay gone
You hope I'll care
Renewing our bond
It feels to me
our power is strong.
Time frozen still
I told him he's wrong
It's you I see
All that I want.
It panics me,
to let this go on
I'm safe so long
As life's passion
