Yann Tiersen - Le Phare (1997)

 Monochrome

Anyway, I can try
anything it's the same circle
that leads to nowhere and i'm tired now.

Anyway, I've lost my face,
my dignity, my look,
all of these things are gone
and I'm tired now.

But don't be scared,
I found a good job and I go to work
every day on my old bicycle you loved.

I'm pilling up some unread books under my bed
and I really think I'll never read again.

No concentration,
just a white disorder
everywhere around me,
you know I'm so tired now.

But don't worry
I often go to dinners and parties
with some old friends who care for me,
take me back home and stay.

Mochrome floors, monochrome walls,
only abscence near me,
nothing but silence around me.
Monochrome flat, monochrome life,
only abscence near me,
nothing but silence around me.

Sometimes I search an event
or something to remember,
but I've really got nothing in mind.

Sometimes I open the windows
and listen people walking in the down streets.
there is a life out there.

But don't be scared,
I found a good job and I go to work
every day on my old bicycle you loved.
Anyway, I can try
anything it's the same circle
that leads to nowhere and I'm tired now.

Anyway, I've lost my face,
my dignity, my look,
all of these things are gone
and I'm tired now.

But don't be scared,
I found a good job and I go to work
every day on my old bicycle you loved.

Mochrome floors, monochrome walls,
only abscence near me,
nothing but silence around me.

Monochrome flat,
monochrome life,
only abscence near me,
nothing but silence around me.
