Lyrics

Will you hate the rest of the world or will you renew your life?

Come and hear my story

Written/composed by LiLi Roquelin & Sam Scozzari

I walk the dusty streets alone
Without a home or a breath of my own
But deep inside my heart I’ve known
It’s a dream of mine I can’t let go
But it’s the way that you are different
Not just the way you are the same

I am here to stay
Come and hear my story
It’s in my heart every day
Come and hear my story
Every day, every day

Every time I take my measure
Every metre and mile and hour
It’s your love I’ve come to treasure
It’s your love that gives me so much power
When you live right in this moment
Understand it’s the way you play the game

I am here to stay
Come and hear my story
It’s in my heart every day
Come and hear my story
Every day, every day

lalalala…

I am here to stay
Come and hear my story
It’s in my heart every day
Come and hear my story
Every day, every day, every day

When you live right in this moment
Understand it’s the way you play the game.

Should get mad

Should you get mad
The real mission
Nothing but occupy
Should you get mad
They’ll repeat again in a new time

I had a strange dream last night
Flying in space to a star
We landed easily
We had evolved, we could breathe
Is it the only way you think, Tell me
Everything was grey with dirt, I saw Earth

Should you get mad
The real mission
Nothing but occupy
Should you get mad
They’ll repeat again in a new time

I had the worst dream last night
Lying in a place so far
They invaded easily
A new Empire to ruin
Is it the only way you think, tell me
On my left I remember I saw Earth

Should you get mad
The real mission
Nothing but occupy
Should you get mad
They’ll repeat again in a new time-They’ll repeat again in a new time
ooh-ooh-ooh

Should you get mad
The real mission
Nothing but occupy
Should you get mad
The motivation to monopolize
Should you get mad
They’ll repeat again in a new time

Give you my love

Long days I’ve been waiting
For you to ring my phone
When I wake up in the morning
I know I’ll be alone
My chest aches from my heart, screaming and crying inside
But don’t worry I am fine
I have this life
I’m not lost on my own

All I wanted to ask
Was to have one night to hold you
Give you my love
Why didn’t I ask
To have one night
To stare at you
Give you my love.

Long years I’ve been waiting
To write another love song
My soul was told it was wrong
It wanted to keep creating
The words for heartaches really don’t describe
But don’t worry I am fine
I have this life
Not empty on my own

All I wanted to ask
Was to have one night to hold you
Give you my love
Why didn’t I ask
To have one night
To stare at you
Give you my love.

I thought I knew sorrow
The tears from the past were below
Please don’t refuse, don’t refuse to see
Without you it’s misery…

Chorus.

Keep this for you

I’m skipping stones on the river
From the other side
You hear a sound
I can see you talk
But I can’t hear a word
You’re too far from the shore
And I won’t cross

Shambles in your mind
Keep this for you
Let me climb up the hills
I won’t do it for you

I’m running thru the dark woods
When the moon is full
I won’t change my mood
I hear the calling
The wind blowing
I’m too far from this world
And I won’t return

Shambles in your mind
Keep this for you
Let me climb up the hills
I won’t do it for you

Bridge:
No drowning dreams
In your conscience

Shambles in your mind
Keep this for you
Let me climb up the hills
I won’t do it for you

Never go

Where is your dream, you lost it again
In this madness, it can’t sustain
Aaaah
Where is the muse, assassinated
What to do, to resurrect it
Aaaah

So I will never go
And I will never flow
In this life so monotone
I can’t be just typical
So I will never go

Where is your dream, it slipped away
With thieves around, you can’t keep it
Aaah
What did you lose, when you let them choose
What to do, when destitute
aaah

So I will never go
And I will never flow
In this life so monotone
I can’t be just typical
So I will never go

Is this a part of it
Is this a part of this way
Do we have to take it alone to stay
Is this a part of it
Is this a part of this way
Do we have to travel alone to stay on it

So I will never go
And I will never flow
In this life so monotone
That’s not me being, ordinary

How we grow

It’s like it was yesterday
That we were fifteen
What happened to all of us
Some disappeared
Some followed their dream
Some blamed their friendships
Have you ever wondered…

How we grow
We never know where we’ll end
How we grow
We never know where we’ll stand
We thought we knew each other
We’d always be in touch
We forgot… we’re not immune to change
We’re not immune to change

It’s like it was yesterday
School seemed too long
What happened to all the words
Drawn on the tables
Some got erased
Some stayed in our heads
Have you ever wondered…

How we grow
We never know where we’ll end
How we grow
We never know where we’ll stand
We thought we knew the Future
We’d always be in touch
We forgot… we’re not immune to change,
We’re not immune to change

When I talk to you, I see careless moments
Trying to understand
to be independent
Is it surprising, to see what we have become…

How we grow, we’ll never know where we’ll end…

Sally’s song (French)

Renew

Mmmh… I’ve been wondering, should I write about this?

You couldn’t stand her bliss
You had to do your best
To destroy it, turn it all black
You manipulated everyone to put her in a trapt
Ooh

Cos everything she has you want to own it
Everything she sings you want to write it
What you see she had to fight for it
She had no fear of changes
Will you hate the ret of the world or will you renew your…
Life.

You wanted her dismissed
You thought you’d just persist
Look, you can find the strength for that
Can’t you use this drive for your own rise

Chorus

Did you lie it, implosion
Like an angry wind blowing in your face
Did you like being cruel?
You didn’t win – she’s still vivid

What you see she had to fight for it
She had no fear of changes
Will you hate the ret of the world or will you renew your…
Life.

LiLi Roquelin THE EP

Blues Alone

Is it the only night you cry cos I lied
What did you do again to deserve this
I know you’ll never go and I don’t know why
And it’s putting me down
And it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright

I got the blues alone
Is it such a bad thing?
Noone’s here to help
So I will just complain, again and again
I got the blues blown,
Is it a terrible thing?
Noone’s here to tell
Another time again, again and again.

All the reasons why I sigh everytime
On my way you place something bad
I know you’ll never grow and I don’t know why
And it’s putting me down
And it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright

Chorus

And I’m scared of this too
I don’t care what you gonna do…

I got the blues alone
Is it such a bad thing?
Noone’s here to help
So I will just complain, again and again
I got the blues alone… again…
When noone’s here, noone’s here, noone’s here to help…
Is it a terrible thing?

Your Imagination

When I’m sleeping on a train
The motion picture can play
With the drama and the script
When the scenery arises
I wake up with a smile
Oooh

If you keep your imagination safe
Soon you’ll realize
It’s faster than your words can speak
If you keep your imagination safe
Soon you’ll realize
It’s faster than your mind can think
It’s faster than your self can breathe

You life can eat you away
The same round everyday
Look at what date it is
When the shiniest sun rises
Don’t sleep on the running time (repeat)
Ooh

Chorus

Je voudrais peindre le paysage
Ajouter a ce gris un peu de bleu rivage
Du noir et blanc passer a la couleur
Et donner a la vie un peu plus de bonheur

If you keep your imagination safe
Soon you’ll realize
It’s faster than your heart can beat.

Dare

N’est-ce pas assez clair?
Tu prends ton chemin, un nouveau depart
Meme s’ils n’ecoutent toujours pas
Il n’y a rien d’autre a faire
Ecris-toi une liste
De ce que tu desire
Meme si tu pars demain

It always seems to be the end
Everything hoped suddenly falls
It’s not supposed to happen
I have to find a way to leave
This place of paleness and grieve
And remain forever the dreamer
the dreamer

It’s not always fair
Just take a new start, a brighter path
Even if they still don’t listen
Is there anything to dare
Write down a whole list
The things you wish to live
Even if you’re not a trend

It always seems to be blend
When something good has an aftertaste
There’s no shortcut to make it happen
You have to know this evidence
You’re not happy and maybe tense
Just remain forever a dreamer
A dreamer

aaaahhhhh……

I Saw You

Forever on the road you stand
the little town where you stay strong
all alone you walk
Are you scared to make a plan
ooh

I know
All your reasons
they carry the tides to enlighten
I saw you.

forever you lay on the sand
Near the ocean where you belong
All alone, you talk
Are you at peace in this land

I know
All your reasons
they carry the tides to enlighten
I saw you.
I know
All your passions
they bury the past to enlighten
I saw you.

I understand:
You’re in your Mother Land.

I know
All your passions
they bury the past to enlighten
I saw you.

I saw you
Living the life you care
I saw you
Living the life you care.

N’attends pas

Words & Music: LiLi Roquelin & Taylor Christoffel (side project; with translation in English)

Ah, mon ange
Ooh

Si tu commences le matin (if you get up in the morning)
en pensant ce jour n’a pas de fin (thinking this day will never end)
Tu envies ceux qui sourient (you envy those that smile)
Et seul tu te perds (and alone, you get lost)
Si tu songes a demain (if you think about tomorrow)
En accueillant ton destin (welcoming destiny)
Oublie ce qui t’aneantit (forget what destroys you)
Et les mots amers

(and the bitter words)

N’attends pas (don’t wait)
La vie ne viendra pas a toi (life will not come to you)
Mais quand tu poursuis (but when you follow)
Ce qui est au fond de toi (what’s deep inside of you)

Si tu te reveilles enfin (if you finally wake up)
En ecoutant ton instinct (listening to your instinct)
Tu regardes ce qui t’inspire (you look at what inspires you)
T’es pas seul sur terre (you’re not alone on earth)
Si ton chagrin revient (if your sorrow comes back)
Tu n’sais pas, tu est incertain (you don’t know, you’re unsure)
Rassemble tous tes desirs (gather all your desires)
Et dans la lumiere (and in the light)

N’attends pas
La vie ne viendra pas a toi
Mais quand tu poursuis
Ce qui est au fond de toi
Ne prends pas la nuit comme un signe de froid (don’t take the night like a sign of cold)
Tant que tu poursuis (as long as you follow)
Ce qui vit au fond de toi (what lives inside of you)

On ira voler dans les etincelles (we’ll go fly in the sparkles)
Des ailes d’un ange…. (of the wings of an angel)

N’attends pas
La vie ne viendra pas a toi
Mais quand tu poursuis
Ce qui est au fond de toi
Ne prends pas la nuit comme un signe de froid
Tant que tu poursuis
Ce qui vit au fond de toi

Tant que tu poursuis
Ce qui vit au fond de toi

Your Design

You think you can judge me
Or everything that I’m doin’
you’re giving me directions
About something you can’t recognize
you don’t leave me any option
Making me feel I’m unwise
you think you know it all
Ce qui compte c’est le control

when are you gonna open up your mind
I can’t be what you’ve defined
Stop being blind
open up your mind
noone cares if you reply
You always deny.
the world never becomes your design.

You think you set the limits
and I heard your critics
there’s no right time for action
And I can do what I decide
I don’t wait for the motion
to take me for a ride
I think I can do it all
Ce qui compte c’est ma parole

when are you gonna open up your mind
I can’t be what you’ve defined
Stop being blind
open up your mind
noone cares if you reply
You always deny.
the world never becomes your design.

aah, your plan is falling down
aah, you’ll end up in the ground

when are you gonna open up your mind
I can’t be what you’ve defined
Stop being blind
open up your mind
noone cares if you reply
You always deny.
the world never becomes your design.
the world never becomes your design.
