Moist est un groupe rock canadien (anglophone) qui me plaît décidément, et de longue date. Voici les paroles de leur célébrissime chanson Moist, que j’ai récemment eu la chance de voir interprétée sur une scène en plein air par leur chanteur, David Usher.
i’ve been drowned out by the rain
still i’m wishing i could stay
but i’m sorry my old friend
ive got to leave you once again
and despite what i might say
i measure pleasure by the pain
measure pleasure by the twisting
of the metal in vein
and it might be very hard
can’t be more than what we are
can’t be more till it’s over
here comes the resurrection
everybody’s got to die from something
nothing ever left to leave you when you go
i saw you strip my babies
animal the way you cut them might be
animal the way i cut you from below
[…]
and if anger is the ending
of the thing that we’ve become
for the mother and the father
and the sister and the son
through the shallow without wanting
realization to mistake
through the ugliness
the open all the things we can’t replace
i will control
