The lyrics to «Pour de faux»

[Refrain from the beginning]
Deaf, blind and pretentious
Yeah homie I made myself
I'm a hothead—I did this all on my own.
I'm just a man
I always only saw two choices
Trust my doubts or pray
I've seen it all, I've forgotten it all
I'm just a man

Deaf, blind and pretentious
Yeah homie I made myself
I'm a hothead—I did this all on my own.
I'm just a man
I always only saw two choices
Trust my doubts or pray
I've seen it all, I've forgotten it all
I'm just a man

[Refrain]
Dear
Hard to pretend to be a boss
But admit I'm doing like a boss
Even you didn't understand right away
I pay dearly for this life
And I can sense that they want to come closer
On every street corner these little Sheitans
Can we go back to your place?

[Verse 1]
Drunk in a bar singing songs I don't like
I do it in unison with people I don't like
And it makes me crazy
I even take them in my arms, I don't give a fuck anymore
Tomorrow everything is possible just knowing it I have stage fright
With my eyes wide open, I'll turn over 25 times under the covers
For this problem I would never have enough money
But for the moment it's enough that we sleep in your room
Oh yeah I didn't even see the trip pass
Teleport via the Viano
Now at your house I do whatever you want
On the sofa even on the piano
By the way, let me play «Strawberry Fields» for you»
I don't play very well even when I open my chakras
But don't be shy, I don't sing it alone
There's John with me in every sentence
And I pay it

[Refrain from the beginning but modified]
Deaf, blind and pretentious
Yeah homie I made myself
Hothead I did it to myself

And in my young years
I said to myself, all zeros I will be better
But bad pickaxe, in fact I'm just a man

And like them I have many faults
Except that it's me in the court of the beasts
Their critics are balls of fire
I felt nothing for fake

I would like to do everything better
But if I choose just the opposite
I could no longer meet her
I must be able to meet her

In French, «pour de faux» is a colloquial adverbial phrase that means to do something as if it were real, even though it isn’t. It is the antonym of «pour de vrai.» Some of its common synonyms include: to pretend, simulate, to put on an act. Wiktionary illustrates this with the example of a theater character who has to deliver a «fake» slap.

In English, the expression roughly translates to pretend Where fake : for example, we might say “It was fake” Where “Just Pretending”. In other Romance languages, the equivalent concept also exists: in Spanish fake, in Italian for show. It is a colloquial expression that is widely used in spoken French, particularly among children and in everyday role-playing.

This sense of simulation fits perfectly with the theme that Lomepal addresses in his title track: the persona of a leader that he says he pretends to embody, all while paying the price for it.
