Lyrics and translation Alanis Morissette feat. Christopher Fogel - Joining You

Joining You

Dear dar(lin') your mom (my friend) left a message on my machine she was frantic
Saying you were talking crazy that you wanted to do away with yourself
I guess she thought i'd be a perfect resort because we've had
This inexplicable connection since our youth and yes they're in shock
They are panicked you and your chronic them and their drama
You this embarrassment us in the middle of this delusion
If we were our bodies
If we were our futures
If we were our defenses i'd be joining you
If we were our culture
If we were our leaders
If we were our denials i'd be joining you
I remember vividly a day years ago we were camping you knew more than you thought you should know
You said "I don't want ever to be brainwashed" and you were mindboggling you were intense
You were uncomfortable in your own skin you were thirsty but mostly you were beautiful
If we were our nametags
If we were our rejections
If we were our outcomes i'd be joining you
If we were our indignities
If we were our successes
If we were our emotions i'd be joining you
You and I we're like 4 year olds we want to know why and how come about everything
We want to reveal ourselves at will and speak our minds and never talk small and be intuitive
And question mightily and find god my tortured beacon
We need to find like-minded companions
If we were their condemnations
If we were their projections
If we were our paranoias i'd be joining you
If we were our incomes
If we were our obsession
If we were our afflictions i'd be joining you
We need reflection we need a really good memory feel free to call me a little more often

Rejoindre

Mon chéri, ta mère (mon amie) a laissé un message sur mon répondeur, elle était folle
Disant que tu parlais comme une folle, que tu voulais en finir avec toi-même
Je suppose qu'elle pensait que je serais un refuge parfait, car nous avons eu
Ce lien inexplicable depuis notre jeunesse, et oui, ils sont sous le choc
Ils paniquent à cause de toi et de tes problèmes chroniques, eux et leur drame
Toi, cette honte pour nous, au milieu de ce délire
Si nous étions nos corps
Si nous étions nos avenirs
Si nous étions nos défenses, je te rejoindrais
Si nous étions notre culture
Si nous étions nos leaders
Si nous étions nos dénégations, je te rejoindrais
Je me souviens vivement d'une journée il y a des années, nous campions, tu en savais plus que tu ne pensais le savoir
Tu as dit : "Je ne veux jamais être endoctriné", et tu étais incroyable, tu étais intense
Tu étais mal à l'aise dans ta peau, tu avais soif, mais surtout, tu étais belle
Si nous étions nos badges
Si nous étions nos rejets
Si nous étions nos résultats, je te rejoindrais
Si nous étions nos indignités
Si nous étions nos succès
Si nous étions nos émotions, je te rejoindrais
Toi et moi, nous sommes comme des enfants de 4 ans, nous voulons savoir pourquoi et comment tout fonctionne
Nous voulons nous révéler à volonté, dire ce que nous pensons, ne jamais parler à voix basse, être intuitifs
Et questionner avec force, et trouver Dieu, mon phare torturé
Nous devons trouver des compagnons partageant les mêmes idées
Si nous étions leurs condamnations
Si nous étions leurs projections
Si nous étions nos paranoïas, je te rejoindrais
Si nous étions nos revenus
Si nous étions nos obsessions
Si nous étions nos afflictions, je te rejoindrais
Nous avons besoin de réflexion, nous avons besoin d'une très bonne mémoire, n'hésite pas à m'appeler plus souvent
