Welcome 03:54
"Hello little guy, you’re welcome. This is what we call life, you should become. But you need to know, in this world, It’s not all black, not all white. It’s just a game where you have to play. Fight moon and sun, find Equilibrium."

"Hello, I present, they call me Usky. I love being here, this world delights me … At home or at school, I do what I find cool. There’s no weight on my shoulders, how could it be better ? Every week's falling down, every second, every rotation of the earth. It’s so unfair. I see all these days scrolling, and not waiting, and get closer to the end. It’s so unfair. This is the cycle of life. Mum, Dad, what do you think, isn’t it too easy for me ? All i have always wanted, I got it easily ! Mum, Dad, you made me taste the paradise. But you’ve never prepared me for what is real life ! And now, how to become an adult if I can’t accept to grow ? I’m scared of this scenario, I could never grow old … Every week's falling down, every second, every rotation of the earth. It’s so unfair. I see all these days scrolling, and not waiting, and get closer to the end. It’s so unfair."

"Usky is growing quickly, Usky is leaving childhood."

Funky Jam 04:45
"Why did I try funky jam ? I don’t like funky jam ! Why did I take this fucking jam ? I don’t like funky jam !"

En Voyageant 02:59
"Now, I decided to change of life. It's time to find meaning in my life. Now, I must study and work so hard, If I don’t want to miss my life."

Run O' Clock 05:52
"Woke up in hurry motion, preaked by my call watches hands. Turning making laps of races, tremendously calculated. Suddenly they shot down, a warm tune in my mind. Watch glass on my wrist is broken, time is always wrecking it. Running after my existence, I notice my hands bleeding . Nothingness around, and this warm tune in my mind. I come back to my excursion, God knows i can’t be late. Speeding up without intention, I notice my arm is red. Time reigns on my heart, Invades all my life, Chews and spits me out, Any feeling’s down. I’m destroyed by this old chestnut, can’t handle this anymore. Looking for a way to give up, find the key to leave this score. Once again in a while, still this warm tune in my mind. Running running after this dream, I just realize what it means. There’s a key to leave this county, I need to call my Frendzy ! Time reigns on my heart, Invades all my life, Chews and spits me out, Any feeling’s down."

"Usky can smile, he’s guaranteed to relax. His teeth don’t lie, he stays positive a max ! You see this white ? It’s seems to be real life. Why be so shy ? When you do not have to cry ! Watch around you, climb the peaks and survive in the storm. World won’t spare you, protect you and be careful of these worms. His good humor, helps him to move forward. At any hour, he doesn’t need any words. In the shower, he sings a song to feel better, In the winter, he doesn't depressed if it’s colder ! Watch around you, climb the peaks and survive in the storm. World won’t spare you, protect you and be careful of these worms."

Ocean 08:36
"I was peaking by a wave. This happened a day, I got it : it’s my way. I was falling in your breath. A flame is shining, nothing can put it out. Maybe I am your slave. You take me, you keep me and I’m dizzy. Listen, I come back to the Ocean, In front of the rising sun, My place is in the Ocean, There is not any reason, Sea is my sensation. You take me, you keep me and I’m dizzy. Remember happy days, Stars were shining, they showed me where going You push me into this lane. I tried to escape, but now it’s too late. Assume your own mistakes. You take me, you keep me and I’m dizzy. Listen, I come back to the Ocean, In front of the rising sun, My place is in the Ocean, There is not any reason, Sea is my sensation … Usky is wondering if this happiness will last, Usky is wondering where the current will prevail. Ocean, there’s not any motion. I don’t know what to do. Ocean, gives me so much emotion. It’s too hard for me and you. Ocean, between passion and frustration, I am in love with you, Only if I hate you. Why do you stay with me ? I seem to be crazy … I’m scared for your safety, Equilibrium escapes me ! So many things seem blurred, Missing parts in my puzzle, Can you tell me where moon and sun are ? I lost Equilibrium. I don’t want to play anymore, I want to leave this score, Can you tell me who I will become, and if I’ll find Equilibrium ?"

"Mister Forest : Mister Collins, prepare your teams. Monday morning, a neighbour reported suspicious cries. Mister Collins : Where is she leaving ? Mister Forest : Boundary Hill. Mister Collins : I’ll go for a ride, to see what happened in this neighbourhood. Usky : I don’t control me. I don’t want to hear I’ m crazy. I’ m just far away, so listen to me anyway. Can you feel me if I’ m moody ? When I feel so sad, maybe I can do something bad. It could be a crime, so listen to me one more time. Will you find me in Boundary Hill ? Mister Collins : Mister Forest, we need some help. A crime has been committed. A woman’s on the ground she’s not breathing. Mister Forest : What are you waiting for ? Find the culprit now ! Mister Collins : A shadow is escaping. It seems to be the guilty who’s leaving. Usky : I don’t control me. I don’t want to hear I’ m crazy. I’ m just far away, so listen to me anyway. Can you feel me if I’ m moody ? When I feel so sad, maybe I can do something bad. It could be a crime, so listen to me one more time."

"Give me a veil, a mask, or something else, give me anything which conceals my face. I need a plane, a train, or something else, I need a single place to hide myself. Am I coward, squealer, or someting worse, or am I just terribly died of shame ? Usky's parents : Why did you react like that ? You're the stupidest husband in the world. You never should have taken this vase, look at the result it's a desaster. Usky : I can't imagine that it's true. Now I don't know what to do. I was waiting, thinking of anything, I was just convinced you were misleading me. I was walking around, waiting for a phone call, I was the most nervous of all. Then you arrived, I cried, you were surprised, then I didn’t let you time to explain you. Usky's parents : Why did you react like that ? You're the stupidest husband in the world. You never should have taken this vase, look at the result it's a desaster. Usky : All of you know my love is true. Now, what can I do ? Usky's wife : But it’s over, it's over, for you and me and all who pulled down the blinds. You need a rag to dry the scaps of your crap. But it’s over, it's over, for you and me and all who turned off this light. You search a shine a second time in my eyes. Usky : How can I live, believe, and look at me when I just killed my reason of living ? What should I do, for you and to rewind, to clear my shit and be forgiven too ? And now, I'm the loneliest man in the world. Please can you forgive me ?"

Alone 03:59
"Inside, I keep it all inside. I gave you all what was mine, in the end, it was an endless fight. Every time we felt alive, just pretended, in the end. Outside, I’ve broken so many lives. I gave myself to the darkside, in the end. I fell to the other side, there is no way to rewind. Just subjected, in the end. Inside, I could never go back outside. Between these four walls I will slide, toward the end. Like a bulb without light, they will succeed to take my mind. It’s just the story, of my end."
13.
"Usky, can you finish your pudding please ? Always singing the same song. Leave him alone. You're just a fucking killer. Why this deafening silence ? Get me out of this cage !"
14.
"Why this breathe, this familiar smelling on my neck ? Inside my brain. Now it’s clear, after all this time I know you’re real, Frenzy my dear. You should know, beside me this silence makes me howl, since I was born. In and out, your memories were hidden by the fright of harming you. Usky's brother : You know, sometimes I wonder. With me, would you have spent all this time here ? In fact, you shouldn’t look down. Maybe, it was your story. You feel like a huge black hole. Calm down, I’ll never let you dive in again. Listen, give me your hand bro. I swear you’ll never be alone. You'll never be alone."
15.
"After all those journeys I discover, that I just missed the boat. You can not judge a book by its cover, it takes two to tango. Plunging my own troubles into the dark, it was a snowball effect. I've never been to an amusement park, it's better to respect. It is always darkest before the dawn, just let sleeping dogs lie. I must go back to the drawing board, at least we can try. To be honest I'm not sure to succeed, will need to be lenient. This is my last chance to flee loneliness, shape up or ship out."
16.
Equilibrium 04:29
"You can hear my lullaby if you ask for silence. Get some rest, it's time for you to close your pretty eyes. You must be so tired so relax now. You can't blame yourself, you did everything you could at the time. So just listen up, it's time to move on now. I used to say, after all, better late than never. I feel ready for today, turn a blind eye and forget That I used to know, a spicy taste, which made me feel madness. And in the end, don't put all your eggs in one basket, seems so. Never try to be like each other and Never promise which is impossible Whatever the sky, maintain the unusual Whenever you smile, it should be magical So listen up, it's time to move on now. I don't want to think it is the time to say "I don't try" I want to say to myself "horizons are not so far" I don't want to hear people say "You missed out on your life." I want to show it's possible to create a new start. The clouds are moving away and I can see the sun. The wind is bickering the trees and i fly to a second breath. I need more oxygen, and if you're looking for me tell you it's okay."

about

"Equilibrium" est un album concept qui raconte l'histoire d'Usky, personnage en recherche constante d’équilibre intérieur. Son enfance fût marquée par la disparition de son frère qu’il aurait tué accidentellement. Afin de le protéger, ses parents décideront de lui cacher la vérité, et d’occulter toute forme d’existence de cet enfant perdu. Usky se trouve alors terriblement confus et incapable de répondre aux questions qui le hantent depuis toujours. Il tentera tout au long de sa vie de combler et de comprendre ce manque qui le ronge et qu’il n’explique pas.
Le thème de "Au clair de la lune" représente le traumatisme de la perte de son frère. Il intervient plusieurs fois au cours de l’album : Usky l’entend lors de ses cauchemars les plus sombres.
La première partie symbolise la construction sociale d’Usky. Il pense avoir trouvé un semblant d’équilibre grâce notamment à sa rencontre amoureuse, mais celle-ci finira par entrainer son inévitable décadence et sa perte totale d’équilibre.
