L'effet de Masse
Maëlle
The Mass Effect
He was in my class, he lived on your street
He was the one across the street, yes you've seen him before
He shared your bus on those mean mornings
You laughed at him because he was different
Today, it's still the same story
In life or in the whispers in the hallway
In the beautiful glass offices
As in the school hallways
It's always the mass effect
That breaks us and isolates us
On screens, under masks
In laughing looks
It's always the mass effect
That breaks us and isolates us
He was in my class, he lived on your street
He was the one who passes by but his name, I don't remember
How stupid we can be when there are more of us
I admit with a heavy heart, yes I laughed with them
Today, it's still the same story
In life or in the whispers in the hallway
In the beautiful glass offices
As in all schoolyards
It's always the mass effect
That classifies us and hits us
On screens, under masks
In laughing looks
It's always the mass effect
That breaks us and isolates us
He was on the sidelines and we were several
You need a foil to feel better
He was in my class, he lived on your street
He was the one across the street, we never saw him again
