Hey
Hey
J'sors d'un rêve, mais je vis un cauchemar dans un monde à part
I'm waking up from a dream, but living a nightmare in a world of my own
Peu de gens autour de moi
With very few people around me
Mon temps est compté en deuspi entre le voyage rapide
My time is rushing past quickly between rapid travel
