Marillion - The Hollow Man
Réagir avant d'être bouffé par le vide. Il faut le pouvoir ; ou savoir saisir sa chance ; ou la créer.
I think I have become one of the hollow men
As I shine on the outside more these days
I can feel the outside feeding on my inside
leaves a growing darkness in its place
I think I have become one of the hollow men
I think I have become one of the lonely
Now that everybody talks to me
I feel I have become one of the empty
Hollow men can stop you with the twinkling of an eye
Hollow men can take you without even reaching out
Hollow men have got you long before you realise
The poison paralyses
I think I have become one of a pair of men
It's a feeling I've been having for some time
I look down upon myself and watch my movements
A blind eye sees the fragile vandalised
Watch this cold world dishing up these endless hollow men
Find us anywhere you look
Come and meet our friends
Stand us in our silly clothes
Put our batteries in
Line us up like fairground ducks
Watch us grin and grin
See the lies behind our eyes ...
See the will to win
We'll buy you and we'll sell you
But perhaps we'll save your skin ...
Sit quietly and listen to the breeze ...
The hollow and the lonely listen too
Sniff the air for something we can use
We're tin hard and we rattle when we're shaken
Music by Marillion - Lyrics by Steve Hogarth & John Helmer - From the Album "Brave" (1994)
Je vous avais déjà mis un extrait de cet album ici : ça s'appelait "The Great Escape" et l'on y retrouvait certains personnages de la vidéo de "The Hollow Man". Normal, cet album raconte toute une histoire, celle de la demoiselle qui apparaît sur la pochette. Bonne écoute.
