R.
Chat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

R, comme l’éraillement de ma voix quand je me réveille,
Trop de bruit pas de lumière
Je me rendors, je me renferme
R, comme Robert, le prénom de mon père qui me rappelle,
Je suis en retard je suis en vrille
Je me roule par terre

Moi je préfère dormir dehors
Moi je préfère dormir encore
Pour aller à mes songes

Je replonge je me perds je manque d’air
Je me ronge les sangs, les ongles
Je grignote ma chère et tendre raison
J’éponge mon corps de sueur, mon cœur des mensonges
Que sans remords sans douleur je distille parfois
Question d’heure, question d’état.

Mais moi je préfère dormir dehors
Moi je préfère dormir encore
Pour aller à mes songes

R, comme le rien comme le tout qui maintient
Ma tête à la surface, ton sourire ton parfum,
Un coup de vent tout se casse.
R, t’inquiète je gère
Je gribouille mes cils, recolle mes paupières.

Mais moi je préfère dormir dehors
Moi je préfère dormir encore
Moi je préfère dormir dehors
Moi je préfère dormir encore
Moi je préfère rêver à tort et à travers

J’erre avant midi,
J’erre toute la nuit
J’erre avant midi,




J’erre toute la nuit
R toute ma vie

Can this be used to find 12V landscape lighting wire that is buried? I hope so. It would save me operating expenses.

oneshotbwurii

It would be great if I had lines to connect it to. All i have found in my lawn are 2 lawn genie popup sprinkler heads. There is no box valve timer or hell even a water line going into my basement. Looks like I might have a failed project

thedrummersalmanac

Why would they completely bury the valves?

Tanner Faust

Nowhere near loud enough for my solenoids…barely hear it when I’m standing right over them and they’re not buried.

Liam Story

Not really a good presentation sorry

Packetattack

No it can't. The Chat-R-Box works by vibrating the solenoid. There is nothing to interrupt on a 12v landscape wire. You could apply power to the cable and use an underground cable tracer.
