Run Gorilla Run

Structure : le morceau le plus rapide et le plus physique de l'album. Le rappeur invité est cette fois le moteur, avec deux couplets à débit mitraillette, un flow hyperactif de hype-man qui ne reprend jamais son souffle. Le chanteur garde le refrain et le pont, qui est le seul moment où ça respire. Thème : la fuite en avant, l'accélération du monde, et la question de ce qu'on fuit quand la cage n'a jamais été fermée. Pas de rappeur célèbre nommé, j'ai imaginé une voix explosive et puissante [Verse 1 : Singer, débit rapide, presque scandé] Virilio said speed is the war we don't see, Now the finish line's moving and it's moving from me. Rosa clocked the world: faster life, less time, Treadmill on a treadmill, running out of rhyme. Red Queen told Alice: "Run to stay in place," Same sprint, same spot, new logo, same race. Pheidippides fell dead with the news in his chest, Now we run for the likes and we never rest. [Pre-Chorus : Singer + chœurs qui montent] Feet don't fail me now, feet don't fail me now, Heart like a hammer, I'm a thunder cloud! [Chorus : Singer, accroche principale, scandable] Run, gorilla, run, leave the cage behind, Run, gorilla, run, whatever's on your mind, Beat your chest like thunder, let the whole street hear, Run, gorilla, run, the finish line is here! (Go! Go! Go! Go!) [Verse 2 : GUEST RAPPER, hyperactif, explosif, double-time, 16 mesures] Yo! Parmenides said nothing moves, it's all an illusion, I moved so fast I gave his theory a contusion, Plato's charioteer got two horses in the team, One's a saint, one's a sinner, and I'm holding the beam, Whip in the left hand, bassline in the veins, Reason on the reins, but the wild one's got the brains, Nietzsche said become who you are, so I did, Took the mask off the monkey and I lifted the lid, Merleau-Ponty said the body's how we see, Legs are my eyes, and the road's my degree, Spinoza's conatus: every thing strives to stay, I strive to move forward, so I'm sprinting away, Nozick's pleasure machine? Plug me in? No thanks, Real blisters, real breath, real broken ranks, Run till the lights go out, then run in the dark, Gorilla's got a heartbeat, and the heartbeat's a spark! (Hah! Let's go! Who's next?!) [Pre-Chorus : Singer] Feet don't fail me now, feet don't fail me now, Heart like a hammer, I'm a thunder cloud! [Chorus : Singer, ad-libs du rappeur en rafale] Run, gorilla, run, leave the cage behind, Run, gorilla, run, whatever's on your mind, Beat your chest like thunder, let the whole street hear, Run, gorilla, run, the finish line is here! (Go! Go! Go! RUN! Uh!) [Bridge : tout s'arrête sauf le chest drum, souffle haletant, Singer seul, essoufflé et nu] If the cage was never locked, what was I running from? If the finish line's a mirror, then the race is never won... Breathe... breathe... (Breathe...) If the fear has my face, if the chase is my shadow, I'll stop at the edge of the field, in the soft grass, in the meadow... (One more breath... then GO.) [Beat switch : drill rapide, basses distordues, sirènes, tempo qui s'envole, GUEST RAPPER, 8 mesures furieuses] Atalanta dropped the apple and the sucker took the bait, Golden distraction, I don't wait, I don't wait! Bergson's élan vital: life's a leap, not a plan, Jump off the shelf, I'm a storm in a man! Nietzsche's eternal return: live it again, Run this exact lap ten times, amen! Cage in the rearview, sky in the lens, Silverback sprinting till the sprint never ends! [Final Chorus : tout explose, chœurs massifs, chest drum, cris, rappeur en contre-chant] Singer: Run, gorilla, run, leave the cage behind, Rapper: (Leave it! Leave it!) Singer: Run, gorilla, run, whatever's on your mind, All: Beat your chest like thunder, let the whole street hear, All: Run, gorilla, run, the finish line is HERE! Singer (seul, essoufflé, murmuré) : Run... gorilla... run...
