20

I couldn't even say how it started
I light up another cigarette
Another love goes out on me

I guess if it always fails, I'm the one to blame
I try to be a star halfway, but no
In this weird year, everything has happened to us
I started it on tour with a triumph under my belt
And yet, on the same day, the 26th of January
We lost the 24th, and from there it went downhill

The universe, for a while, became my room
With time to reconnect and not to assimilate it
Stop the world for me, I'm getting off and clear
We stop ourselves
Because it's the world that's going down

20 is not my issue, 20 is for you all
For those who give their lives for life and proudly
For those who couldn't fight that damn monster
For the dead of both
For the applause at eight

I'm not Paulo Coelho
I don't give you self-help quotes to find the bright side
There's no palace in ruins or gold in the dung heap
Just the obligation to put it damn and balls
Balls, damn, for those who couldn't
Receive a hug before leaving

We learned a sad lesson: There's no farewell harder than not being able to say goodbye

And for the first time, the light goes out and I don't hear the noise
The weekend doesn't smell like sound checks
It doesn't smell like airports, smoke in the dressing room
It doesn't smell like success or misunderstood failure
It smells like road and blanket, a fine hotel blanket
It doesn't smell like nerves, it doesn't smell like I miss you here with me
It doesn't smell like crying for feeling lonely and applauded
It smells like our park and my best friends

(Reconnection)
The closest point to being someone (is)
The farthest point from ourselves
I invested so much time in other people's lives
That I forgot to fill in the gaps in mine... Yes!

That movie we watched, that book
That weed you said I should try, chatting with my cousin
Pushing Skone aside to be able to be myself
After-dinner with my father and not with a promoter

Without realizing it, I saw myself
For the first time, missing what I achieved
Feeling indebted to the people who brought me here
For those listening to this, it's definitely for you

It's not about proving anything, but everything to lose
I did it thinking about this issue and what I would tell you later
To show you that a man is nothing on his own
That I can shine high, alone, if we all shine

(Instrumental)

For those who fight without seeking anything in return
For superheroes dressed as healthcare workers
For the young who still take care of themselves
For those who don't let the neighborhood go hungry
For those who lost everything, yet set the alarm and keep getting up
For those who couldn't, for those who stayed
We'll look at the sky to fly high again
