Description
Sometimes the past creeps up without warning - not like a dramatic finale, but like an awkward encounter in the yard, where it smells of wet grass and old conversations. It seems like everything has already been lived through, let go, sorted out, but suddenly your heart decides to reissue the past. A new cover, the same plot, only now it's a little embarrassing that it still hurts.
This song is like a glance that you try not to catch, but still feel with your skin. It trembles with that very “it seems to be over,” but with a slight aftertaste of unfulfilled dreams. And somewhere between “it's all in the past” and “what if,” life flares up again - awkward, stubborn, and so alive that you want to pretend it's just a coincidence.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Doctrinate
Hotel is in proximate
I'm still in my proxy state
Been animated, a fox in space
I like being the shit, it can constipate
Got rid of clothes, I'm a hostage
Money? I lost it, I had to concentrate
I'm going up at a constant rate
I'm still in the estate, I'm a consulate
Regime deep
ANPR, not an APB
Orangutan and A-P-E
Full of propaganda, like a state TV
Snakes gossiping, though if you hate me, speak
Elevators, I got lazy feet
Labels talk while paying me P's
White complex, can they save me? Save me, please
Animated
War crimes coming exaggerated
I see get-rich schemes, then I'm salivating
And the naval boat isn't navigating
Murky with the alligators
And it's not the stairs, it's the elevators
Just like us, they wanna impose sanctions
LOL, Damson? That's not validated
Soldiers die without purpose, peace ain't on Earth, it's beyond the clouds
I'm done offering all this service, he can't roll 'cause he ain't allowed
It's up, but the energy's down
Disinformation, they aim for the mouth
They wanna coup d'état on the state
Like Chile, they coup d'état in the South
Regime deep
ANPR, not an APB
Orangutan and A-P-E
Full of propaganda, like a state TV
Snakes gossiping, though if you hate me, speak
Elevators, I got lazy feet
Labels talk while paying me P's
White complex, can they save me? Save me, please
Regime deep
ANPR, not an APB
Orangutan and A-P-E
Full of propaganda, like a state TV
Snakes gossiping, though if you hate me, speak
Elevators, I got lazy feet
Labels talk while paying me P's
White complex, can they save me? Save me, please
Decolonisation
I'm on a yacht boat, migrating
Sorry, I'm back from a hiatus
Couldn't keep his girl, she was high maintenance
Tryna get rich quick, but the time's taken
Donations, like I'm Prime Reagan
Tryna find that boy, like the Fire Nation
And they spin in my circle, gyrating
Rumors fade, but the facts just stay, I don't care what you say about me
My girl don't like some of the bullshit, man, she don't play about me
Mutiny on the estate, backstabbed, seen the betray around me
Only up, no way around me
Black or white, but it's grey around me
Regime deep
ANPR, not an APB
Orangutan and A-P-E
Full of propaganda, like a state TV
Snakes gossiping, though if you hate me, speak
Elevators, I got lazy feet
Labels talk while paying me P's
White complex, can they save me? Save me, please
Le collège aussi continue de s'en aller
Et de s'en aller pour la famille
Combattants de l'indépendance, aujourd'hui victorieux
Je vous salue au nom du gouvernement congolais
