[verse]
He lost his way (anticipation)
Nothing left to say (anticipation)
Realized he was a pawn (anticipation)
He had been all along
[pre-chorus]
Anticipation
[chorus]
Anticipatin’ the point of breakin’
Overthinkin’ until he’s shakin’
[verse]
He lost the way (anticipation)
She’s gone like yesterday (anticipation)
He faced the fire (anticipation)
But fell going higher (anticipation)
[pre-chorus]
Anticipation
[chorus]
Anticipating the point of breaking
Overthinking until he’s shaking

[verse]
We’re always rising
We’re always falling
We’re always flying
We’re always calling
[bridge]
But tell me where are we going?
And are we ever arriving?
Everything’s overflowing
Everything’s always dying
[verse]
But if we try
To find our why
Well maybe
We’ll get there someday
[chorus]
Time to hit stop and rewind
Dead metaphors don’t stay behind
We too can rise again
Let’s just say when [x2]
[verse]
But if we try
To find our why
Well maybe
We’ll get there someday
[chorus]

Judgment Day

[Verse]
Let’s just change our mind
Not too late to find
All our reasons why
[Chorus]
It sure feels like judgment day
Tell me what the wise men say
In the end, perhaps we’ll find
All the things that made us so blind
[Post-chorus]
Will anything be the same?
[Verse 2]
I fell back on these ways
Every sinner betrays
Heaven’s full of praise
[Chorus]
It sure feels like judgment day
Tell me what the wise men say
In the end, perhaps we’ll find
All the things that made us so blind
[Camus]
L’artiste se forge dans cet aller-retour perpétuel de lui aux autres, à mi-chemin de la beauté dont il ne peut se passer et de la communauté à laquelle il ne peut s’arracher. C’est pourquoi les vrais artistes ne méprisent rien ; ils s’obligent à comprendre au lieu de juger.
[The artist forges himself in this perpetual coming and going between himself and others, halfway between the beauty he cannot do without and the community from which he cannot tear himself away. That is why true artists hold nothing in contempt: they oblige themselves to understand rather than judge.]
