about

An Ode to the anxious struggle of the forecoming of death while alive. A chapter over the death of someone and it's unability to come to term with it. A modest guide to an un-superstitious approach to life.

Singing performance & composition by Jelila Bouraoui
Musical composition & Lyrics by Stélian Derenne

lyrics

A Chapter to an End

Verse 1:

You were prepared,
Your head in the sand,
Still you'd preferred,
A chapter to and end.

Chorus :

But It's here,
And you better embrace it,
The short time,
Before getting trough the exit.
And you'd rather,
Have a chapter
To an end,
No extends,
Nothing after,
Being bitter doesn't matter.
Don't admit,
Just embrace it.
---


Verse 2:

Your faith is still,
Inside your god
But your fear is real
Coz god is not...
So fear your time,
Your anxious nature,
Poorly sublimed,
Seeks for torture

Chorus :

But It's here,
And you better embrace it,
The short time,
Before getting trough the exit.
And you'd rather,
Have a chapter
To an end,
No extends,
Nothing after,
Being bitter doesn't matter
Don't admit,
Just embrace it.
---

Verse 3 :

You've had your share,
Don't go out,
Thinking life is unfair,
Justice smilles at believers,
So don't be dumb as you leave us
cresc:
Your breath is now leaving,
Your lips are now shaking,
Your brain is now swimming,
Your heart is now swinging

Chorus :

So It's here,
You're now facing the exit,
Can you feel,
Calm and slow don't you love it?.
And you rather,
Had a chapter
To an end,
To attend,
Afterlife to ascend
Nothing after,
We die covered
Empty smile flowered,
Lifelong tone unanswered.

So embrace it,
Don't you love it?
The end to the chapter
Of your exit.
