Boostee Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

On and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
Je ne serai plus jamais seul, tu ne seras plus jamais seul, on ne sera plus jamais seuls
(On and on and on and on)
Je ne serai plus jamais seul, tu ne seras plus jamais seul, on ne sera plus jamais seuls
(On and on and on and on)
Accroupi à pleurer dans un coin de mon appartement,
Je rêve de retrouver le bonheur que j'avais auparavant.

J'ai beau réaliser que ma nouvelle pièce est cool,
Je commence déjà à m'étouffer dans ce dix mètres carré.
Diplômé, indépendantisé, je ramène des copines coquines, mais je ne fais que tiser.
Han, non je ne veux pas être trentenaire,
Je rêvais d'une indépendance, mais là j'en tremble.
'cause I don't wanna be alone,
I just wanna go back home.
Everytime I hear that song, I feel alone.
Watch these people look so happy all around...
My friends are gone, I'm all alone,
On and on and on and on and on...
Feel alone like
(Oh oh oh...)
Je me balade dans les rues de ma ville,
Je tape dans les canettes vides, ça me fait bader, tout le monde est speed,
Je me sens tellement inutile.
Ha! Franchement, faut changer d'attitude,
Pas un seul employeur ne s'intéresse à mes aptitudes.
Prisonnier et déshumanisé, j'ai cru pouvoir tout gagner mais je ne sais pas miser.
Han, non, j'ai pas une vie de roi, mais
Pourtant mes parents pensent que j'accumule les victoires.
'cause I don't wanna be alone,
I just wanna go back home.
Everytime I hear that song, I feel alone.
Watch these people look so happy all around...
My friends are gone, I'm all alone,
On and on and on and on...
Feel alone like
(Oh oh oh...)
Feel alone like
(Oh oh oh...)
Je ne serai plus jamais seul, tu ne seras plus jamais seul, on ne sera plus jamais seuls, ouais
(On and on and on and on)
Je ne serai plus jamais seul, tu ne seras plus jamais seul, même si nos vies sont casse-gueule
(On and on and on and on)
Je ne serai plus jamais seul, tu ne seras plus jamais seul, on ne sera plus jamais seuls, ouais
(On and on and on and on)
Yeah, et je ne serai plus jamais seul, tu ne seras plus jamais seul, même si nos vies sont casse-gueule
(On and on and on and on)
Watch these people look so happy all around...
My friends are gone, I'm all alone,
On and on and on and on and on and on and on...

Feel alone like
(Oh oh oh...)
