Loic Nottet - Peculiar and Beautiful lyrics

spoken: What is a mirror? What does it tell us? Lies? Truth? What is it reflecting? What we are? What we want to see? I know nothing more capricious than a mirror It can choose to make us love or detest all that we are Our face, our body, ourselves, nothing escapes it And in this game where it is familiar with all the traps and pitfalls It never ends up losing It laughs at our tears, our fears, and our pain It mocks us And what do we do in return? We encourage it Some even believe what the mirror says and sell their body to it They begin to lose weight and money in order to please it They mark themselves with countless scars Hoping one day to become more beautiful than Narcissus And God alone knows that to obtain the most beautiful smile Man is ready to suffer a thousand trials How sad... Because in the end, it is the mere fact of being us That makes us peculiar and beautiful But man is afraid He's scared by his differences Scared of what others might say Scared of what the mirror would think Fear, what a strange feeling An overdose can poison a whole life But let me give you a piece of advice Break it, break the mirror It blinds you And be you, simply you That will be enough Believe me
