Paroles de ' Egg ' par Djo

I was downtown late last night
I was walking 'round last night
Passed a man, we locked eyes
It hit hard, there goes time
A stranger once in your life
And whispered with his shiner eyes he wanted to be me and I him, my only shine
Your entire life is wiped clean from the bathroom window
You etched out in the steam
(What about him though?)

And when I take step outta me towards the stranger
The muscle suit pumps, it feels like second nature
Original men
A clear and present danger
Don’t you wish you could be somebody else?
Somebody else
Somebody else
Somebody else

I'm crawling out of my skin
Saw me through the eyes of
The world

Laying on her stomach
She was looking at me
Opened eyed but so chain me now
And, deep in her is a reflection of me
I can feel how you feel right now
And something dominates me
Holds my hand to the fire
Young man vs. Another kind
Every single step that you take is just another one back
Another step to take back, another regret
You just gonna let fear take that?
You just gonna let fear take that?
You just gonna let fear take that?
You just gonna let fear take that?

Back in the shell
My life in the cave
People go by
I smile and wave
But deep down inside
There's always that fear
That I'm not enough
I seem cavalier
But it's all an act
I'm cold 'cause I'm weak
And deep down inside
There's nothing unique
But man is a mold
And nothing is new
So why not release
And let it come through

I'm fighting the flame
I'm gasping for air
I'm back as a big man
With panache and flair
Back to the egg
It’s crimson and gold
(Crimson and gold)
I'll follow the rules
And do what I'm told

Can one be great?
Can one be kind?
When history shows
They're not intertwined
So what will you choose?
Your heart or your pride?
Could you really be so self-satisfied?

I'm crawling out of my skin
Saw me through the eyes of
The world
(Could you really be that self-satisfied?)
Is that you?
(I'm crawling out of my skin)
Is that the child who’s afraid in you?
(Saw me through the eyes of)
Stop, is that you?
(The world)

(The world, the world, the world)
(The world, the world, the world)
(The world, the world, the world)
(The world, the world, the world)
