Olv 26 Songtext

von Stereolab

Depuis le temps que c'est promis
Nous irons tous au paradis-
C'est un appel sourd une promesse
Aveuglante qui noie la conscience;
Ce paradis me pèse, son poids
Incommensurable abruti;
Ancrée dans des strates profondes,
Une pulsion des plus aliénantes;
Telle une fausse libération,
Un état de pure dépendance;
Le paradis est derrière moi
Dans le ventre de ma maman-
Unchallenged myths, they lie heavy,
L'imaginaire is our worst enemy,
The paradise, what an idea!
A guardian still on duty.

Olv 26

Since the time that it's been promised
We would all be in paradise
It's a muted appeal, a blinding promise
That drowns conscience
This paradise weighs me down, its weight
Immeasurably idiotic;
Anchored in these deep layers,
The most alienating of urges,
Such a false liberation,
A state of pure dependence;
The paradise is behind me
In my mum's belly-
Unchallenged myths, they lie heavy,
The imaginary is our worst enemy,
The paradise, what an idea!
A guardian still on duty.
