D.N. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Et j'ai des flash
Où je te revois dans le noir
J'ai été con, j'ai même pas su l'voir
Qu'on devait s'quitter
Pour refermer la plaie
Qui s'agrandissait
À chaque fois qu'tu m'trompais
À chaque fois qu't'apparais, j'reste bloqué

Je n'sais pas quoi faire à part kicker
C'est comme ça qu'j'le vis, c'est ma thérapie
J'suis tout seul dans mon lit, dans ma mélancolie
Dans ma mélancolie
Dans ma mélancolie
Et j'ai des flash
Où je te revois dans le noir
Et j'ai des flash
Où je te revois dans le noir
Mon coeur en batterie faible
Je dois t'oublier comme Le7ept
Avec du recul t'étais pas si belle
Pour n'plus t'entendre j'augmente décibel
J'augmente décibel
J'augmente décibel
J'augmente décibel
Et j'ai des flash
Où je te revois dans le noir

Et j'ai des flash
Où je te revois dans le noir

I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
I was born into a turbulent and chaotic environment

I would howled at my ma in the pouring rain
I cried out for my mother's help, even in the worst of times

But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas
Despite my difficult past, everything is alright now and life is great

I said it's a-a-a-llright
I am affirming that everything is okay and no longer a problem

I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash it's a gas, gas, gas
I am feeling powerful and full of energy

I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag
I was raised by someone who was scary and unconventional

I was down with a strap right across my back
I was disciplined severely and physically punished

I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead
I experienced a traumatic event where I was nearly killed

I looked frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread
I struggled to even find the most basic necessities like food

I fell down and my feet and I saw they bled
I suffered physically and was injured

It was crowned with a spike right through his head
Someone was executed by having a spike driven through their head
