about

Réplique ailée du Minotaure qui, à sa façon, arrive également dans une impasse. Contrairement à la pièce précédente, contemplative, Icare se place dans l'action, l'ascension, la suspension, la chute.
====
Winged replica of the Minotaur who, in his own way, also comes in an impasse. But unlike the previous piece that was contemplative, Icarus apparears in action, ascension, suspension and fall.

lyrics

Tu es vautour qui plane bras en croix
Un désert dans les yeux
Et ton ombre sur le sol s'écrase et se rompt
Tandis que des hauteurs la pureté te grise

Dans les airs ou sur terre
Quelle image est la mienne ?

Le soleil lui ôte ses ailes
Et la mer l'engloutit

====
You are a vultur who glides with its arms spread
A desert in the eyes
And your shadow is crushed and broken on the ground
While in the sky you're thrilled by purity
The sun takes his wings away
And the sea devours him

On the earth or in the sky
Which image is mine ?
