Lyrics & Translation
Your wings traded for two worn soles
On billboards, the sea’s advertising
What a pain
And so you forget where you were going
You lent your cheeks to someone else
And you have more masters than a dog
Tie or collar
How are you, how are you, how kids jump on the bed
You just mess up and redo the bed
And you know, and you know, the circus elephant never has fun
So you stay happy on the side and remember who you are
Offline, offline, offline
Offline, offline, offline
That’s how it seemed you understood
You answered better in third grade
You forgot the game of the wall
Doctor
Like the hit of your first cigarette
The uncertainty of touching someone else’s hair
Tom Thumb left you many stones
But you lost them all
How’s it going, how’s it going
Do you still find muscles under your jacket
Or do you feel your ID card
While you watch the poppies along the A6
And you find them wonderful
Then you realize the one crying isn’t your avatar, no
Offline, offline, offline
Offline, offline, offline
On this bright night
My heart is overturned
I feel it screaming and everything seems right
Waiting for the hurricane
Without expecting anything
Feeling myself is my gift, my masterpiece
That’s how somehow we find each other
Like it’s the day after Carnival
And I realized that cross mark is the point where I asked to
aim
It no longer even matters where I was going
I was in line to receive a smile
But I bless the eyes I didn’t expect
And I thank the pain of having you close
Offline, offline, offline
Offline, offline, offline
Offline, offline, offline
Offline, offline, offline
