Xang - My Own Truth Lyrics

I regret the day I had to talk about it
to express my own highly biased advice
to confront views and experiences
nothing is neutral, all is real life
I leave aside sincerity
I take my opinion for granted

If one day, I should go
if some day, I should die
talk about me with my own words,
through my own dreams
for there is no other truth than mine
for I take my sincerity for a fact.

I thought myself a moderate man,
floating just below the surface
loaded with ideals and kindly dreams.
I wished so much for the truth
And the good to triumph
I tried too hard to shelter conflicting views,
then realized I was intolerance itself.

Trough the complexity of our minds
the labyrynth of our consciences,
we forever face our own reality
our wounded souls constantly struggle
we want too much to soothe, then regret it bitterly
we try too hard to persuade
then loose all our certainties

subjectivity... 

The prediction
It was always curled up inside of me
curled up like something that cannot be admited
like something that we wish for, but are afraid to lose
it is dark and I am alone
I am at a stage of my life where everything is cold
where despite of me, everything is far away
but at the moment I face it,
I look at it as if I could read myself in it
the cards are drawn, my left hand pointing
I eagerly await this destiny that I want to fashion
the game comes to a stop,
the cards fall one after the other,
I hold my breath, my heart pounds
hearts, spades, clubs

I hope and I fear so much also
But the truth falls, my truth
so true for me
It appears as an open door
opened on my desires
on what I knew
the future belongs to me, my turn to play
so incredible
so improbable
I waited for so long
during my short life so far
it was always in me
I have no choice, I must succeed
