najib & mattéo richardeau - tale of a conflicted mind lyrics
[najib:]
trying to navigate this insanity
[intro | narrator voice]
this is a quite unlikely story, of a boy who flew away from his reality
the world he knew was crumbling, so in desperation he asked the sky for salvation
he was lost and tormented, but he found peace in a safe garden
so here is the tale of a conflicted mind
[verse 1]
20 years on this earth, think i’ve seen enough of it
all this trivial bickering, don’t want to be part of it
i wanted to save the world, what a cute delusion
thinking that humans can change, that’s a false assumption
from my window, i’m watching the world going ape sh+t
when i think we touched the bottom, we’re going past it
wait, stop
here i draw the line
from earth i resign
i thought i was fine, but really i need the divine
[pre+chorus]
cause we all came on this earth with no guidance
we did our best to find meaning in our presence
still, there’s a void in ourselves that’s persistent
and so we turn that frustration into action
i wish i had the answers
i wish we were no sinners
i wish i could fix everything with a snap of a finger
but the truth is bitter, escapism is a reliever
my body’s rising in the air as i’m saying these words
[chorus]
i’ve been floating with the clouds
can’t hear the world from this high
i feel at peace in the sky
only place where i can hide
i’ve been floating with the clouds
can’t hear the world from this high
i feel at peace in the sky
only place where i can hide
[verse 2]
oh my god, i feel ecstatic
contemplating life from the summit
life below is so dramatic, it’s brutal, i swear
but now i’m on some higher frequencies, i feel aware
sometimes i wonder how did we end up like that
is it inevitable, does it happen by design
or is it just the outcome of extended poor decisions
crazy how we have everything but still struggling to make it
i try to recognize that with pleasure must come a pain
but when hardship arises, i tend to feel overwhelmed
so hiding in a bubble it’s how i protect myself
forty thousand feet in the sky, where i found my happy place
[chorus]
i’ve been floating with the clouds
can’t hear the world from this high
i feel at peace in the sky
only place where i can hide
i’ve been floating with the clouds
can’t hear the world from this high
i feel at peace in the sky
only place where i can hide
[outro]
i’ve been floating with the clouds
but i’m starting to come down
i can’t sustain this fake high
cause my place is on the ground
between the good & the bad
i must lay down my own path
