Certitude... solitude...
Trust Lyrics

Je sais, maintenant avec certitude, ce qu'est la solitude
I now have a clear understanding of what loneliness truly feels like

Je marchais, j'avançais, je traînais ma dégaine
I walked around, moving aimlessly without any sense of purpose or direction

J'avançais sans savoir, sans idée de pouvoir
I moved forward, ignorant and powerless to the forces that shaped my life

Tu marchais, t'avançais, t'avançais en sachant que t'étais le pouvoir
You walked forward, knowing that you possessed the power to shape your own destiny

Et si demain je devenais un héros mais sans fard
What if I became a hero without pretense or disguise

Et si demain je devenais superstar
What if I became a celebrity, an icon that everyone admired

Si demain tu devenais un héros mais sans fard tu deviendrais superstar
If you became a hero without any pretense, you would earn the adoration of the masses

Je passerais en revue tous ces moments gâchés
I would review all the wasted moments of my life

J'y penserais sans honte sans vouloir essuyer
I would think about them without feeling ashamed or trying to justify them

Tu passeras en revue tous ces moments gâchés sans vouloir essuyer
You would review all the wasted moments of your life without making excuses for them

Car vous savez avec certitude ce qu'est la solitude
Because you know exactly what it means to be lonely

Trop fier de cette image jaunie qui vous poursuit
You are too proud of the faded image that haunts you

Et qui me laisse un peu perdu qu'êtes vous devenu ?
And leaves me wondering, what have you become?

Et si demain je devenais un symbole, pas sexuel
What if I became a symbol, not for my sexuality

Et si demain je devenais Untel
What if I became someone without a clear identity

Et si demain tu devenais un symbole, pas sexuel, tu deviendrais Untel
If you became a non-sexual symbol, you would also become an undefined entity

Sans rendre compte, sans trouver d'excuses
Without giving an explanation, without trying to justify myself

Sans gamberger, sans travelling, sans me pâmer
Without overthinking, without getting lost in my own thoughts, without getting carried away

Pas de compte, pas d'excuse; ni gamberge, ni travelling, sans te pâmer
No explanation, no justification; no overthinking, no getting carried away, without losing yourself

Je grandirais loin des nains qu'ils resteraient
I would grow distant from those who held me back

Et si demain je devenais quelqu'un que j'étais
What if I became the person I was always meant to be

Je rirais de leur vie comme ils riaient de la mienne
I would laugh at their lives just as they laughed at mine

Quand j'étais leur pantin Crésus du soir au matin
When I was their puppet, a wealthy but empty shell of a man

Quand je nageais dans la dope par ennui, par envie
When I swam in drugs out of boredom and desire

Quand j'avais les plus belles, pas de place pour les laides
When I had the most beautiful things, with no room for the ugly

Je tournais dans le vide en tendant les bras
I spun around, reaching out for something that was never there

Eux étaient là, souriant, courbés devant moi
They were there, smiling, but always beneath me

Comme toi j'avais des idoles
Like you, I once had idols

Qui faisaient figure de symbole
Who were symbols of something greater

Et qui savaient avec certitude ce qu'est la solitude
And who knew exactly what it means to be lonely
