Les Extrêmes
Tryo Lyrics

A gauche ? A droite ? Rien !
The feeling of being lost in a political landscape that offers no clear direction.

Il faudra regarder les alentours en passant
One must look around and pay attention before charging forward.

Avant de foncer tête baissée droit devant
Before blindly following, one must stop and consider the consequences.

Bienvenue citoyen voici le monstre étatique
The government can be seen as a powerful and oppressive entity.

Qui fera ta nation ton pays sa politique
It is the government's job to shape the country's political ideology.

Mon pauvre esprit de rêve te voila catapulté
One's idealistic vision of politics can quickly give way to the harsh reality of power and corruption.

Au milieu des sondages et du journal télévisé
The media heavily influences public opinion on politics.

Overdose de crapules noyées dans leur ramage
Politics can attract corrupt and self-serving individuals.

Mais où se situer dans tout ce paysage ?
It can be difficult to find a place for oneself in the complex world of politics.

Mais quand l'empire du pire au cœur de ta cité
When the worst of society raises its head in one's community,

S'mettra à sécher l'âme humaine au fond d'son grenier
it can dry up the humanity in those who witness it.

Je sais que tu prendras tes convictions à la main
In the face of adversity, one can hold onto their beliefs tightly.

Construisant une assise pour te sentir citoyen
Building a foundation of personal beliefs can give one a sense of citizenship.

Mais les extrêmes c'est toi
The true extremists are those who choose not to vote,

C'est toi quand tu ne votes pas !
which can have disastrous consequences for democracy.

Bienvenue novice au marché électoral
Entering the political scene as a newcomer can be daunting.

Pas l'temps d'aller s'inscrire, oublié ! Trop d'travail !
Some may be too busy or forgetful to register to vote.

Ou qui s'est érigé un de ces principes moral :
Others may have a moral objection to voting.

De se sentir citoyen et de refuser d'aller sur la bataille
They may feel that being a citizen is more important than participating in the democratic process.

Ils doivent se réjouir, envahissant le nerf de la guerre
Those who choose not to vote are allowing others to have more political power.

Récoltant les voix de la bourgeoise à la fermière !
This can benefit those who are already in positions of power or have influence.

Tu n'imagines pas la puissance que tu es !
By choosing not to vote, one is giving up their power and influence.

L'histoire c'est toi, l'histoire c'est toi qui la fait !
Every individual has a role to play in shaping history.

Alors tu déscends dans la rue combattre la peste brune
In times of extreme danger, one may need to take to the streets to fight against oppressive forces.

Toi qui n'a jamais jamais pris le chemin vers les urnes
Those who do not vote may feel compelled to take more direct action to enact change.

Il est temps de brandir ses convictions à la main
It's time to take a stand for one's beliefs.

Construisant une assise pour se sentir citoyen
Establishing a strong foundation of beliefs can give one a sense of citizenship.

Pas l'envie, pas le temps de faire entendre sa voix
Some may feel apathetic towards politics and not want to participate.

Mobilisez-vous pour faire partie du paysage
However, it is important to take part in the democratic process to have a say in the political landscape.

Où se noyer dans tout ça !
It can be overwhelming to navigate the complex world of politics.

Tu sais au moins que tu veux être une pierre du barrage
It's important to know what one wants to contribute to society, even if that means being a small part of a larger goal.

C'est toi !
The true extremists are those who choose not to vote.

Quand tu ne votes pas !
Their non-participation can have far-reaching consequences and should not be taken lightly.
