[Couplet 1] I wake up in a world too clean, too bright, Smiles on screens but they don’t feel right. Everything’s polished, everything’s tamed, Even the fire forgot its name. They say “be calm, be soft, be fine,” But I got thunder running down my spine. I don’t fit in this perfect skin, I got noise where the silence has been. [Pré-refrain] Tell me… when did we start to disappear? [Refrain (voix qui explose)] I’m still burning… don’t you see it on my face? Still crashing through this sterile space. You can filter the light, you can slow down the pain, But you can’t take the fire out of my veins. I’m still burning… yeah I’m still alive, In a world that forgot how to survive. If everything’s perfect, tell me why I feel so real when I almost cry? [Couplet 2] They scroll through lives like magazines, Edited hearts and in-between dreams. No dirt, no sweat, no trembling hands, Just pretty ghosts in perfect plans. But I was raised on broken chords, On screaming truth and nothing more. So I spit my soul into the air, Just to prove that something’s there. [Pré-refrain] Tell me… can you still feel anything real? [Refrain (plus fort, plus sale)] I’m still burning… don’t you see it on my face? Still tearing down this frozen place. You can smooth out the edges, bleach the night, But you can’t erase what feels like life. I’m still burning… louder than before, Like a storm kicking down your door. If this world forgot how to bleed, Then I’ll be the wound they didn’t need. [Pont (guitare seule, voix presque brisée)] Maybe I’m too loud for this quiet age… Maybe truth don’t fit on a perfect page… But I’d rather break than be arranged… I’d rather hurt than be unchanged… [Dernier refrain (explosion totale)] I’m still burning… I’m still burning, yeah! Through the lies and the silver air. No filter, no cage, no easy way out, Just a soul that still knows how to shout. I’m still burning… and I don’t apologize, For the storm behind my eyes. If this world is numb, cold, and controlled… I’ll be the fire it can’t hold.
