Achilles Come Down

[00:07.42] Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down

[00:10.66] Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?

[00:15.45] You're scaring us and all of us, some of us love you

[00:19.19] Achilles, it's not much but there's proof

[00:23.48] You crazy-assed cosmonaut, remember your virtue

[00:27.20] Redemption lies plainly in truth

[00:31.50] Just humor us, Achilles, Achilles, come down

[00:34.95] Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?

[00:39.47] Je vois que beaucoup de gens meurent

[00:41.32] Parce qu'ils estiment que la vie ne vaut pas la peine d'être vécue

[00:43.98] J'en vois d'autres, qui se font paradoxalement tués pour des idées

[00:48.54] Pour des illusions, qui leurs donnent une raison de vivre

[00:51.74] Ce, qu'on appelle une raison de vivre est en même temps une excellente raison de mourir

[00:55.74] Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down

[00:58.92] Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?

[01:03.21] The self is not so weightless, nor whole and unbroken

[01:07.20] Remember the pact of our youth

[01:11.21] Where you go, I'm going, so jump and I'm jumping

[01:14.93] Since there is no me without you

[01:19.48] Soldier on, Achilles, Achilles, come down

[01:22.95] Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?

[01:27.52] Loathe the way they light candles in Rome

[01:31.23] But love the sweet air of the votives

[01:34.96] Hurt and grieve but don't suffer alone

[01:39.48] Engage with the pain as a motive

[01:43.72] Today, of all days, see

[01:48.79] How the most dangerous thing is to love

[01:56.55] How you will heal and you'll rise above

[02:05.60] D'un gérant d'immeuble qui s'était tué on disait un jour

[02:09.58] Qu'il avait perdu sa fille depuis cinq ans

[02:11.18] Qu'il avait beaucoup changé depuis et que cette histoire l'avait

[02:13.84] Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, jump now

[02:17.03] You are absent of cause or excuse

[02:21.55] So self-indulgent and self-referential

[02:25.29] No audience could ever want you

[02:28.99] You crave the applause yet hate the attention

[02:32.99] Then miss it, your act is a ruse

[02:37.26] It is empty, Achilles, so end it all now

[02:40.98] It's a pointless resistance for you

[02:46.31] Ce qui déclenche la crise est presque toujours incontrôlable

[02:48.73] Les journaux parlent souvent de chagrins intimes ou de maladie incurable

[02:52.72] Ces explications sont valables

[02:55.39] Mais il faudrait savoir si le jour même un ami

[02:57.51] Du désespéré ne lui a pas parlé sur un ton indifférent

[03:00.46] Celui-là est le

[03:01.78] Achilles, Achilles, just put down the bottle

[03:05.24] Don't listen to what you've consumed

[03:08.97] It's chaos, confusion and wholly unworthy

[03:12.74] Of feeding and it's wholly untrue

[03:17.01] You may feel no purpose nor a point for existing

[03:21.26] It's all just conjecture and gloom

[03:25.28] And there may not be meaning, so find one and seize it

[03:29.28] Do not waste yourself on this roof

[03:33.27] Hear those bells ring deep in the soul

[03:37.30] Chiming away for a moment

[03:41.04] Feel your breath course frankly below

[03:45.29] And see life as a worthy opponent

[03:49.29] Today, of all days, see

[03:55.14] How the most dangerous thing is to love

[04:01.86] How you will heal and you'll rise above

[04:11.42] Crowned by an overture bold and beyond

[04:19.45] Ah, it's more courageous to overcome

[04:24.27] Les souvenirs d'une patrie perdue, l'espoir d'une terre promise

[04:27.98] Ce divorce entre l'homme de sa vie

[04:31.19] You want the acclaim, the mother of mothers (it's not worth it, Achilles)

[04:36.24] More poignant than fame or the taste of another (don't listen, Achilles)

[04:40.24] But be real and just jump, you dense motherfucker (you're worth more, Achilles)

[04:44.21] You will not be more than a rat in the gutter (so much more than a rat)

[04:47.42] You want my opinion, my opinion you've got (no one asked your opinion)

[04:50.90] You asked for my counsel, I gave you my thoughts (no one asked for your thoughts)

[04:55.18] Be done with this now and jump off the roof (be done with this now and get off the roof)

[04:59.45] Can you hear me, Achilles? I'm talking to you

[05:06.36] I'm talking to you

[05:10.35] I'm talking to you

[05:14.91] I'm talking to you

[05:18.93] Achilles, come down

[05:23.22] Achilles, come down

[05:30.68] Celle du oui et celle du non

[05:49.91] Ce serait trop beau

[05:51.24] Mais il faut faire la part de ceux qui, sans conclure, interrogent toujours

[05:54.75] Ici, j'ironise à peine, il s'agit de la majorité

[05:57.72] Je vois également que ceux qui répondent non agissent comme s'ils pensaient oui

[06:02.78] De fait

[06:03.84] Throw yourself into the unknown

[06:07.33] With pace and a fury defiant

[06:11.04] Clothe yourself in beauty untold

[06:15.29] And see life as a means to a triumph

[06:19.27] Today, of all days, see

[06:24.88] How the most dangerous thing is to love

[06:31.79] How you will heal and you'll rise above

[06:40.84] Crowned by an overture bold and beyond

[06:49.64] Ah, it's more courageous to overcome
