[Refrain - Zaho]
J'ai grandi, j'ai compris que l'ont m'avait trop menti
La flamme que je brandi, peut finir en incendie
Enfant d'Adam et Eve
Face au miroir des rêves
Les yeux fermés se lèvent
On veut la vie en rêve
[Couplet 1 - Kery James]
Sous des couches de maquillage se cachent le mal-être
Au royaume des habillages et du paraître
On cache des bonheurs éphémères sous du fond de teint
On enveloppe des cœurs de pierres sous du satin
Des visages se moquent les corps font semblants
Préoccupé par ce que l'on montre, qu'est-on vraiment
La perfection des apparences c'est ce qu'ils nous prônent
Faudrait cacher nos carences sous du silicone
On nous fait croire que la vie n'est que la survie du corps
On oriente nos envies, on vit dans la culture du décor
C'est la fin des défauts charmants, des beautés naturelles
Comment s'aimer sincèrement quand on est soit même artificiel
On veut nous faire oublier qu'un jour ou l'autre on meurt tous
La jeunesse tatouée rêve d'une vieillesse à la peau douce
Réalité virtuelle, bonheur synthétique
Société pathétique qui trouve le mensonge esthétique.
[Refrain - Zaho]
[Couplet 2 - Kery James]
On cherche à s'accomplir on nous dit qu'il faut posséder
On nous ordonne de dominer, donc comment s'entraider
On tue notre humanité dans cette société égoïste
Ou même la générosité se décide chez le fiscaliste
Balenciaga, Gucci, Dior, Louis Vuit'
Nos prétendus besoins sont qu’enfaite que des envies
On affirme notre existence mais sait-on vraiment vivre ?
On a tellement de dépendances est-on vraiment libre ?
Tsahra, youwo, confort, luxe
On a pas le temps d’être heureux, on en veut ... plus
On aime à dire que l'argent contribue au bonheur
Mais le malheur c'est de l'ériger en valeur
Etre ou Avoir, exister ou se faire-voir
Les apparences sont généreuses mais les cœurs sont avares
La question n'est plus être ou ne pas être
Dans ce monde c'est paraître ou disparaître
[Refrain - Zaho] x2
[Couplet 3 - Zaho]
Pourvu que l'on se plaise
Tant-pis si les cœurs se taisent
Déguisé nos détresses
On est prit au piège
On veut la vie en rêve
La vie en rêve X4
