Achilles Come Down

[00:07.62] Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down

[00:11.12] Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?

[00:15.61] You're scaring us and all of us, some of us love you

[00:19.60] Achilles, it's not much but there's proof

[00:23.84] You crazy-assed cosmonaut, remember your virtue

[00:27.35] Redemption lies plainly in truth

[00:31.86] Just humor us, Achilles, Achilles, come down

[00:35.37] Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?

[00:40.10] Je vois que beaucoup de gens meurent

[00:41.84] Parce qu'ils estiment que la vie ne vaut pas la peine d'être vécue

[00:43.87] J'en vois d'autres, qui se font paradoxalement tués pour des idées

[00:47.63] Pour des illusions, qui leurs donnent une raison de vivre

[00:52.37] Ce, qu'on appelle une raison de vivre est en même temps une excellente raison de mourir

[00:55.62] Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down

[00:59.35] Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?

[01:03.85] The self is not so weightless, nor whole and unbroken

[01:07.60] Remember the pact of our youth

[01:11.84] Where you go, I'm going, so jump and I'm jumping

[01:15.10] Since there is no me without you

[01:19.59] Soldier on, Achilles, Achilles, come down

[01:25.86] Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?

[01:27.87] Loathe the way they light candles in Rome

[01:31.63] But love the sweet air of the votives

[01:35.86] Hurt and grieve but don't suffer alone

[01:39.61] Engage with the pain as a motive

[01:43.62] Today, of all days, see

[01:49.85] How the most dangerous thing is to love

[01:57.62] How you will heal and you'll rise above

[02:06.60] D'un gérant d'immeuble qui s'était tué on disait un jour

[02:08.59] Qu'il avait perdu sa fille depuis cinq ans

[02:11.12] Qu'il avait beaucoup changé depuis et que cette histoire l'avait

[02:13.87] Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, jump now

[02:17.12] You are absent of cause or excuse

[02:21.86] So self-indulgent and self-referential

[02:25.64] No audience could ever want you

[02:29.60] You crave the applause yet hate the attention

[02:33.60] Then miss it, your act is a ruse

[02:37.60] It is empty, Achilles, so end it all now

[02:41.62] It's a pointless resistance for you

[02:46.35] Ce qui déclenche la crise est presque toujours incontrôlable

[02:48.62] Les journaux parlent souvent de chagrins intimes ou de maladie incurable

[02:52.37] Ces explications sont valables

[02:55.12] Mais il faudrait savoir si le jour même un ami

[02:58.61] Du désespéré ne lui a pas parlé sur un ton indifférent

[03:00.86] Celui-là est le

[03:01.87] Achilles, Achilles, just put down the bottle

[03:05.61] Don't listen to what you've consumed

[03:09.60] It's chaos, confusion and wholly unworthy

[03:13.35] Of feeding and it's wholly untrue

[03:17.60] You may feel no purpose nor a point for existing

[03:21.59] It's all just conjecture and gloom

[03:25.35] And there may not be meaning, so find one and seize it

[03:29.62] Do not waste yourself on this roof

[03:33.87] Hear those bells ring deep in the soul

[03:37.63] Chiming away for a moment

[03:41.62] Feel your breath course frankly below

[03:45.61] And see life as a worthy opponent

[03:49.61] Today, of all days, see

[03:55.85] How the most dangerous thing is to love

[04:03.87] How you will heal and you'll rise above

[04:11.85] Crowned by an overture bold and beyond

[04:19.59] Ah, it's more courageous to overcome

[04:24.87] Les souvenirs d'une patrie perdue, l'espoir d'une terre promise

[04:27.37] Ce divorce entre l'homme de sa vie

[04:31.86] You want the acclaim, the mother of mothers (it's not worth it, Achilles)

[04:35.60] More poignant than fame or the taste of another (don't listen, Achilles)

[04:39.61] But be real and just jump, you dense motherfucker (you're worth more, Achilles)

[04:43.35] You will not be more than a rat in the gutter (so much more than a rat)

[04:47.59] You want my opinion, my opinion you've got (no one asked your opinion)

[04:51.62] You asked for my counsel, I gave you my thoughts (no one asked for your thoughts)

[04:55.62] Be done with this now and jump off the roof (be done with this now and get off the roof)

[04:59.34] Can you hear me, Achilles? I'm talking to you

[05:06.62] I'm talking to you

[05:10.61] I'm talking to you

[05:14.61] I'm talking to you

[05:18.87] Achilles, come down

[05:23.35] Achilles, come down

[05:49.10] Celle du oui et celle du non

[05:50.12] Ce serait trop beau

[05:51.62] Mais il faut faire la part de ceux qui, sans conclure, interrogent toujours

[05:55.86] Ici, j'ironise à peine, il s'agit de la majorité

[05:57.36] Je vois également que ceux qui répondent non agissent comme s'ils pensaient oui

[06:02.87] De fait

[06:03.61] Throw yourself into the unknown

[06:07.60] With pace and a fury defiant

[06:11.59] Clothe yourself in beauty untold

[06:15.60] And see life as a means to a triumph

[06:19.60] Today, of all days, see

[06:25.85] How the most dangerous thing is to love

[06:33.62] How you will heal and you'll rise above

[06:41.61] Crowned by an overture bold and beyond

[06:49.85] Ah, it's more courageous to overcome
