lyrics

Considering the script, I've changed my plans
I choose to run away from my own lines
All my surrounding ghosts should stay, it's fine
Let's discuss the new try
And take our time
Grazing the page,
The ink as knife
Rewrites my life

Pushing away what matters for tonight,
Dreaming myself as a knight
Fighting, beeing brave and saving many lifes
Beeing good without even trying
Why can't I be this hero sleeping in my mind?

'Cause it's too late to break the curse,
Of course...

Pages and pages until daylight
The ghosts whispered ideas to me all night
Learning from my mistakes
I'm doing fine
Becoming someone wise
On our unreal side
Stroking the page,
The ink as a friend,
Writting the change

Pushing away what matters, all the signs
Considering myself as a crime
Burn down the codes, run away with the bride
Is it too late to decide?
I'm thinking like a fool but I'm never acting like one

'Cause it's too late to break the curse,
Of course,
'Cause it's too late to make it yours,
Of course...

about

I am Stramgram Bordeaux, France

Pop folk anglo-saxonne saupoudrée d'électro, conjuguant l'urgente folie d'artistes tel que Born Ruffians/Beck/Eels, avec les élégantes parenthèses des dandys Bowie ou Yorke. La part belle est, comme aux origines folk, faite à la voix et aux textes. Joyeuse et mélancolique, débraillée et exigeante, une musique à l'image des paradoxes qui nous habitent. ... more
