Video de Contre Courant

I just need to be alone for a day
I need to feel that I’m still sane
Write down what has been on my mind
I need to tear down the walls of my anxiety
Exhale the burden, free my lungs
Overcome isolation
I need to know if the melody still happens
When I sit down and take time to listen
I need to know if I am still capable of hearing the nuances of silence
Leave me alone for a week, a month or a year
For as long as it takes to know if I am good enough to satisfy my own criteria
J’suis francophone
And I am tired of hiding
Because I know I won’t ever reach my full potential
If I keep burying my colour in the ground
How am I supposed to create something that will pass the test of time
If I can’t find the words in this language that is not mine
And I have yet to understand
Why I should bow to the rules
DISOBEY
I must embrace the fact that I’m different
What if I don’t want to stay here
In this sphere
It feels so unnatural
J’suis francophone
And I’m tired of seeing my colour buried in the ground
J’suis francophone
Pi j’en ai plein l’cul d’entendre qu’on est un p’tit peuple de bons à rien
J’suis Québécois
Pi j’me suis trop longtemps laissé porter par le courant
Dans un monde homogène et saturé
J’vous promets qu’on va s’faire entendre
Dans un monde immobile et divisé
Et même au risque de pas s’faire comprendre
On continue à vivre à contre courant
