Swinger 04:36
What I see outside is cute, but what I want is beneath I just note a little thread out of your shirt wonder where it goes what it hides I will trail after him, pull on it, rip it until I’ll see your guts Undress you ‘til you get naked until I see what you really are I don’t need your lovely words Some kind of romantic verbs I just want what’s flowing inside you baby I can make your aim out I’m tired of this game What you hide Is what I claim Oh can’t you make my aim out Go, walk out of the frame What remains Is what I claim Show me what’s beating inside Did you quiver when you tried To brush my hands Your show won’t protect you I know I’m gonna slide under your skin Drop your flowers and your doubts Go ahead but come without tricks I simply give myself to you I can make your aim out I’m tired of this game What you hide Is what I claim Oh can’t you make my aim out Go, walk out of the frame What remains Is what I claim Touch my hands, smell my neck, juste come closer if you can Well I will guide you to your soul and there I will blend my heart And we will dance yeah up and down, we’ll burst yeah all around, we’ll share oh what is left and hah I can make your aim out I’m tired of this game What you hide Is what I claim Oh can’t you make my aim out Go, walk out of the frame What remains Is what I claim (Claim) (It’s what I claim) (Oh oh It’s what I claim) (It’s what I, it’s what I claim) (It’s what) (It’s what I want) (It’s what I want) (It’s what I want) (What remains) (What remains)

He's got his grandma's hands And brilliant sweet silver hair He's wrinkled inside even if he's only six years old He speaks with invisible friends and put spells on trees, He knows sorrows and sadness and too much about tears No it's not an angel but only a whitehair child It's not a ghost not even an old man, but a whitehair child Life goes faster in his heart, much more than in his head Hung between games and elder fears, you know A bit too old, a little to young So he dreams and writes songs Cause he’s a whitehair child (A child) (A child) (A child) (A child so) He's building magic worlds and perfect situations Where he makes his favorite dolls up To comfort them and to make them stop crying No it's not an angel but only a whitehair child It's not a ghost not even an old man, only a whitehair child Life goes faster in his heart than in his head Hung between games and elder fears A bit too old, a little to young So he dreams and writes songs Cause he’s a whitehair child Mmh yeah ooh No it's not an angel but only a whitehair child It's not a ghost not even an old man, only a whitehair child Life goes faster in his heart than in his head Hung between games and elder fears A bit too young, a little to old So he dreams and writes songs Cause he’s a whitehair child Mmh Just a whitehair child Just a child Just a child Just a child Ooh Life goes faster in his heart than in his head Hung between games and elder fears A bit too old, a little to young So he dreams and writes songs Cause he’s a whitehair child A whitehair child Just a child Just a child Just a child

Invisible 04:27
I’ve juste noted that my skin Is a bit clearer than usual It whistles within Do you see the light is burning now through me And we nearly oh oh make out the pattern Of the sofa behind me So please, put your hands on me To be shure I’m still living And if you can, hold me as hard as you can It gives me a shape, a substance, a real shade You don’t need to find the right words I am invisible So invisible But when you touch me You see me with your hands I am invisible So invisible I know your skin Will reveal me at the end There’s dust flowing in my veins Sparkling in electric light Then falling as little snowflakes An awfull draft yells in my breast And chill myself to the bones Even if I can’t see if they still hold my soul Oh but please come closer and define Outlines of what I am Then give me a shape, a substance and a shade I am wind’s prey when I’m too far away from your breathing I am invisible So invisible But when you touch me You see me with your hands Oh I am invisible So invisible I know your skin Will reveal me at the end Oh Tell me why I’m just invisible So invisible But when you touch me You can see me with your hands Oh no oh I am invisible So invisible I know your skin Will reveal me at the end Oh at the end Transparency, now can you see me fading Transparency, emptiness is invading Like a fresh sketch erased by poring rain All in vain, vanishing along the drain There is no explanation or logic here I have to face the fact that I am disappearing Take a moment, take a seat, think it over Desperately searching for a reflection in the mirror Pulling on my hair, lots of questions in my head I cant figure out if I’m alive or if I’m dead Take a moment, take a seat, think it over Desperately searching for a purpose in the mirror What a gwan Jah? Why putting out my fire? Cant seem to be seen yet I need to be admired Take a moment, take a seat, think it over Can’t seem to be seen yet I need to be admired Take a moment and breath in Think it over and I give in now

Kabuki 04:45
Hey hey hein Aha Kabuki’s standing behind It’s light but it is inclined To make us playing aligned Glues to our backs and our minds We stand in front of the sail There’s no wind in our funny jail What’s behind blows like a gale Hope, rage, stop the wails Kabuki might be so thin Almost a part of our skin Grip our bellies and shake All what we know, what we make We’re marionettes with a big white cape Ridiculous fight to get our real shape And we try with a tiny sword To make a hole in the real world Trying to escape But If the veil would rise See we’re not blue You won’t boo Cause we’re worth it too If the veil would rise See we won’t hide, We’re not shy We’ll explode for you Hey hey Oh no Hein Level two gets harder Well we’re here, we hear but kabuki lies a bit near Stage is getting smaller Well I don’t like it no more don’t want it no more Cables fasten the bass player Well we’re here, we hear but kabuki lies a bit near Kabuki soak up the drummer Well we can’t see him no more can’t hear him no more Well that’s pretty much the way that its happening When you open for a band and you’re stressing No place for a show, Kabuki how oppressing I don’t like it no more I don’t want it no more We’re marionettes with a big white cape Ridiculous fight to get our real shape And we try with a tiny sword To make a hole in the real world Trying to escape But If the veil would rise See we’re not blue You won’t boo Cause we’re worth it too If the veil would rise See we won’t hide We’re not shy We’ll explode for you (Tshicky bang, Tshicky bang bang bang) (Tshicky bang, Tshicky bang bang bang) (Tshicky bang, Tshicky bang bang bang) (Tshicky bang) Kabuki’s laughing behind (Bang bang) Embrace us badly and find (Bang bang) The way to keep us confined (Bang bang) It is calm but malign (Bang) Now we are ready to break Down all your doubts, what is fake Free our body and wake You up for kabuki sake Hey yo lets go My people want to hear it, yes my people want a show Cause we grow, everyday we learn a little more If kabuki lift the veil on us how come we get no dow So I try to make it easy Working in entertainment keeps us busy Puppets on a string trying to make a living Well you know Kabuki’s got a laylow I don’t want it no more The veil would rise See we’re not blue You won’t boo Cause we’re worth it too If the veil would rise Oh see we won’t hide We’re not shy We’ll explode for you If the veil would rise See we’re not blue You won’t boo Cause we’re worth it too If the veil would rise, would rise, would rise No we won’t hide We’ll explode for you But If the veil would rise See we’re not blue We’re worth it too If the veil would rise Oh see we won’t hide We’re not shy We’ll explode for you (If the veil would rise) (See we’re not blue) (You won’t boo) (Cause we’re worth it too) (If the veil would rise) See we won’t hide) (We’re not shy) (We’ll explode for you)

Brightness overwhelms my life As a fresh perfume A hundred pretty flowers grow into my path Sun warms my home It shines in my heart As a clean floor can glow Night I stay out of the light I’m looking for the darkest place To change into a werewolf Oh you know when it’s dark I hang around the park Running after life sparks Until dawn My personal tasks are over now I‘ve come back from work, prepared a nice meal Give a little kiss on my babies nose, Then assure myself I’m still attractive At night I stay out of the light I’m looking for the darkest place To change into a werewolf Oh you know when it’s dark I hang around the park Running after life sparks Until dawn A new birth after a bite a werewolf is on the mic I’m wandering through the night guided by the full moon light A new birth after a bite a werewolf is on the mic I’m wandering through the night guided by the full moon light Try to reach the morning over the curse, through the half-light I know oh whatever I do to be a good woman all day through I feel it will take out of me Hey Look into my eyes see the beast I hide Yes inside I’m wild let the full moon awaken my dark side Every 30 nights I’m a werewolf you must beware of Cursed souls afraid of what their unaware of Fear me for if you see me you die I’ll drink your tears and suck the brain straight out of your eyes Now you serve the kingdom of death till the end of time Your soul is mine just ware the mark and you’ll be fine A new birth after a bite a werewolf is on the mic I’m wandering through the night guided by the full moon light A new birth after a bite a werewolf is on the mic I’m wandering through the night guided by the full moon light Hanging on early rising haze of a tired moon Between the well behaved wife and the lonely monster

I’m the lady of the lake Enchanted for a hundred years Water reaches my chin and makes The coldest prison you probably could bear I see you standing on the shore You don’t imagine ordeals you will face The fury of the dragons, hurtings and sores Before we could embrace Three nights to conjure evil spells Save our love from this magic cell We’re strong we know dragons are frail Dragons are frail You’ll be exhausted in the first Morning, I’ll be there to heal your wounds With water at my hips, free arms against the curse I wish I’m on the ground Three nights to conjure evil spells Save our love from this magic cell We’re strong we know dragons are frail Dragons are frail Three days to heal the monsters’ yells To soothe our scars until ring out the bells We know the weakness of tales The weakness of tales A pair of eyes spout out the morning mist I shout Who’s hiding in the lake next to a dragons nest It’s love trapped in the claws of an evil beast Fire breathing enemy that three times I must defeat I’m sorry for the blows and the pain you suffer I stand in water, it still holds my feet Three nights to conjure evil spells Save our love from this magic cell We’re strong we know dragons are frail Dragons are frail Three days to heal the monsters’ yells To soothe our scars until ring out the bells We know the weakness of tales The weakness of tales You don’t move, I lie beside you I breeze life into you Surely you’re upset, but look I am healing I am poring my heart out to you when I am telling My sacrifice helped reveal my on in a million and my feelings Dragons were frail and by killing them all You and I are one on top You and I are one You and I are one on top You and I Three nights to conjure evil spells Save our love from this magic cell We’re strong we know dragons are frail Dragons are frail Three days to heal the monsters’ yells To soothe our scars until ring out the bells We know the weakness of tales The weakness of tales Mmh Save our love from this magic cell Save our love from this magic cell You know that dragons are frail You know that dragons dragons dragons are frail You know that dragons are frail Frail Don’t you know that dragons dragons dragons dragons are frail Frail frail

I do remember my name But I ain’t sure it’s Sunday Well maybe it’s only Saturday I write it on little papers on the wall They guide me everyday My memories are flying out of my head Like white butterflies they simply stick on the wall Like thousand fragments of my mind I try not to forget I try not to forget I’d never think it was so hard To find my own address To remember where’s my bed Do I know this one, is he a friend Someone I love someone I fear Don’t even know the girl in the mirror My memories are flying out Out of my head like white butterflies They simply stick on the wall Like fragments of my mind And they’re gliding everywhere There are so many in the air There’s nothing less inside my head So I try, yes I try, yes I try to keep them, try to catch them But they escaped outta my time Not to forget, not Oh I try, I try, I try I try I try, I try, I try, I try I try, I try, I try ,I try I try I try I try I try, I try not to forget But I wanna know why we must return what we earn our whole lifelong, refund what we are and I wanna know and I wanna say and I wanna save what I am So I try not to forget So I try not to forget Try not to forget Don’t forget

about

Partagé entre électro sensuelle et rock’n’roll fifties, le nouvel album d’Aloan présente un univers peuplé de monstres et de beautés bizarres. Il dévoile une nouvelle facette lumineuse, euphorique du projet, avec ce qu’il faut d’ombre pour révéler un son profond et scintillant. A la manière d’un conte pop, il nous enveloppe, nous emmène là où tout est trop rose et s’amuse des peines et des recoins cachés de l’esprit.
