‘Moi, cela m’ennuyait de leur expliquer. J’ai fini par me taire et j’ai fume en regardant la mer’

  ‘I didn’t like having to explain to them, so I just shut up, smoked a cigarette, and looked at the sea.’

Albert Camus - L’ÉTRANGER

Outsider

It don’t matter where you go, Or who’s right on a sinking ship. We’ll still shatter in the cold, It came alive, how it drew us in.

 I’m found out if all I do is hide between the lines, An outsider at the door. I’m unbound, foreign on a path forever mine, This outsider at the door.

We’re confined to be apart, To take sides in divided cells. We collide when we depart, Don’t ask me what’s the cost, I don’t know myself.

I’m found out if all I do is hide between the lines, An outsider at the door. I’m unbound, foreign on a path forever mine, This outsider at the door.

There’s no secret safe, that I keep from you, They’ll outlast you all. I’m a coward Not a slave to you, how can I, Be the silent one?

I’m found out if all I do is hide between the lines, An outsider at the door. I’m unbound, foreign on a path forever mine, This outsider at the door.
