[Verse 1]
You’re like a candle
That someone forgot to put out in an empty room
You shine among the dejected who want to snuff you out
The one who has the least toys, gets the least love
The one who lets people shit on his bruised heart
Murderous is your jealousy
The lonely child does not trust anyone
Not by choice but by resentment
In terms of friends, his shadow suffices
A loneliness that follows you 'til it comes to sex
My lyrics differentiate the lonely child into two species:
One that fucks excessively but would rather
Stick with one woman than a 1,000 ass-cheeks
While the other kind often hears the same
Song at the post office and bears the grief
Of a dead relationship and remains with wet eyes
The lowered head leaves the heart on the stomach
Stomach on the knees, my sadness has no equal
Except that of the lonely child’s muted rant
That no one listened to

[Chorus]
You're the lonely child (I know it's you)
Are you from the lower rungs
Or the new neighborhoods?
Anyway, deep down it’s all the same suffering
You're the lonely child (I know it's you)
Are you from the lower rungs
Or the new neighborhoods?
Anyway, deep down it’s all the same suffering
You're the lonely child (I know it's you)
Are you from the lower rungs
Or the new neighborhoods?
Anyway, deep down it’s all the same suffering
You're the lonely child (I'm sure it's you)
Are you from the lower rungs
Or the new neighborhoods?
Anyway, deep down it’s all the same suffering

[Verse 2]
My words are befitting
People see themselves in them like a puddle of water
My words mirror them like a sad reflection, but is it my fault?
You're the lonely child, it's not easy
We understand each other
Few know that I know, you're surprised
He stares out the window at the loneliness eroding him
To sugarcoat the quinine like a sweetener
"We must stay vigilant, we must break free," they say
They don't discuss it further, they confuse rhyming with acting
Running away and suicide, a pact, an ad campaign without ads
Barely a word, nobody has ascertained that filthy wish
The desire to let go with a dangling neck
To punish their parents who waited too long
To love their child, 'cause if love was a race
The child's birth would be the starting line
Boredom as a pastime makes for foolish parents
Nagging mastery, sentiments set in cement or else in six years
I'll be found with scissors in my skull, in a puddle of blood
[Chorus]
You're the lonely child (Tell me it's you)
Are you from the lower rungs
Or the new neighborhoods?
Anyway, deep down it’s all the same suffering
You're the lonely child (Tell me it's you)
Are you from the lower rungs
Or the new neighborhoods?
Anyway, deep down it’s all the same suffering
You're the lonely child (Tell me it's you)
Are you from the lower rungs
Or the new neighborhoods?
Anyway, deep down it’s all the same suffering
You're the lonely child (I'm sure it's you)
Are you from the lower rungs
Or the new neighborhoods?
Anyway, deep down it’s all the same suffering

[Verse 3]
The lonely child is the silent nobody in the back of the class
The one who is laughed it, chubby like Coluche
Or the boss in the lobby among a massive group
The bone in the steak haché
Stabbing anyone applying for his position
Because hiding behind a street kid's tomfoolery is often
A child suffering in an emotional abyss
Growing up without a father is hard
Even if the mother perseveres, it helps
But not in finding one's bearings, that's for sure
Losing a mother is worse! Ask Pit, I assure you
You haven't fully grasped it
Take away the sea from the Côte d'Azur
When these kids push away their suffering too
We all know no one truly heals from their childhood
Even a hairy torso cannot forget life as the child
Of a divorce, thrashed around by his stepfather
The lonely child is you, them, him, her
Oxmo Puccino, a voice like honey
[Chorus]
You're the lonely child (I know it's you)
Are you from the lower rungs
Or the new neighborhoods?
Anyway, deep down it’s all the same suffering
You're the lonely child (I know it's you)
Are you from the lower rungs
Or the new neighborhoods?
Anyway, deep down it’s all the same suffering
You're the lonely child (I know it's you)
Are you from the lower rungs
Or the new neighborhoods?
Anyway, deep down it’s all the same suffering
You're the lonely child (I'm sure it's you)
Are you from the lower rungs
Or the new neighborhoods?
Anyway, deep down it’s all the same suffering
