Odin

My name is just a name written on an ID
My body is just matter, bacteria, and cell
I'm just a dust in the mist
That the wind lets rise and then takes away
Goodbye

It's not that I'm a person without faith, but if faith elevates us
It's been a while since mine hasn't taken me there
Malevolent, life can be cruel
And the hands that harm us also bring us honey

Take off the veil and stop taking selfies
The problem is yours, dude! No one wants your help
We're selfish, eyeing the title belts
But not everyone was born to be Michael Phelps

Who am I after all? Total illusion?
Or is this self just a social construct
Or that in reality there's no self, just us
That must be why S.O. also writes alone

Semantic coincidence
Or a hidden plea
Solitary or supportive?
Sun and arid
It's the desert of passions
That caresses and insults us

I spoke, they didn't give me a rope
They gave me a wake-up call
I said I needed hope
Not a rope, spare me!
At the bottom of the pit, either I use it to climb to the top
Or wrap it around my neck

I had to do like Odin
I hung myself on a gallows
But that's when I took from myself
The strength! The strength!

I had to do like Odin

But that's when I took from myself
The strength! The strength!

Sadness makes a man lose his shine
And life loses its track, but not all sad ones pull the trigger
My father told me: Son, life is tough!
And that's not a pun

Happiness fragile as glass
But reality has no filter, you see, bro!?
And to kill this emptiness and boredom
How many don't kill themselves from an excess of pills

From the center of the West to the Middle East
Faith breaks down barriers but also buildings
And what changed with all this evolution?
That now you can see everything live and in high definition

The world in delirium, massacre in Nigeria
The martyrdom is Syrian, the misery is serious
But the journalist is classist
And when the poor die, they don't have the same highlight in the news

Narcissistic society
In front of the mirror
Seeing life through the screen of the device
Listen to my advice
We're going crazy
The cup is full but the heart is hollow
Stop for a moment!

Midas had to turn everything into gold
To discover that the value of life was in the other
It was in the other

I had to do like Odin
I hung myself on a gallows
But that's when I took from myself
The strength! The strength!

But that's when I took from myself
The strength! The strength!
