about

This song is about staying true to oneself against all odds, despite what one might have been told. Of course, the central text is ironic.
Like the EP "Ups and Downs" (available on the platforms), The choice (Fit it?) is an excerpt from the forthcoming concept album "La Dérive" (The Drift).
.......

Cette chanson est sur la fidélité à soi-même, contre vents et marées - le texte central est ironique. Comme les autres titres, The choice est extrait de l'album concept à venir "La Dérive".

lyrics

The choice (Fit it?)

(Paroles et musique / Words and music: Armelle LC)




Sister
Where are you?
What is your choice?

…...................................................................

( You don't fit

Too tired and too hopeless

Too thoughtless and too spaced

Out

You don't fit

Too calm or too restless

Too shy or too careless

You're too much of a mess

You don't fit

None of us

Fit the mould my girl

Fit the mould

Do fit it


You don't fit

Be younger and wiser

Be sharper and cooler

Be fitter

Lose weight and be stronger

Be steady and lighter

Change into another


Fit the mould


Take a role and play it thoroughly

Take any Just act accordingly

Choose a pattern Study all its tricks


Step back from your own depths

Forget your real self

Ignore your soul ablaze

Get a mould

Stick to it


Your true treasures

Are seen by noone

but you girl

Your loveliness

is seen as nothing but void girl


Be smarter

Just surrender

Fit the mould

Fit it please


Game over .... )

…...................................................................

Beautiful sister
The choice is yours

Deviens ce que tu es.
