Cest La Vie by Eddy Xu Lyrics
[Verse 1: Eddy Xu]
Got my black suit on, clean shirt pressed
It’s been a while since I got this dressed
Good rest, no stress, imma blessed
It wasn’t always like this, who woulda guessed?
Just three years ago i was locked in a cell
Never tried in court, kinda went there by myself
Never tried in anything to be honest
Just walk straight into darkness
No idea - what crimes did I even commit
I just wanted to be happy - and you couldn’t permit this?
Behind these bars - life sentences i spit
A mental prison, might hang in there, i quit
Isolated and tired in solitary confinement
My cries for help were met with echos of silence
Self-perpetuating thoughts construct a glass ceiling
Negativity patrols the tone of how im feelin
[Hook: Ashan W]
Cos life’s not meant to be alone, no
I guess I should’ve known
Can’t keep saying that’s c’est la vie
Cos I know that you care ’bout me
Cos life’s not meant to be alone, no
I guess I should’ve known
Can’t keep saying that’s c’est la vie
Cos I know that you care ’bout me
[Verse 2: Eddy Xu]
Our society revolves around money and statistics
Are our visions in life too materialistic
We’re just another number, another name
Since no one cares, am i to blame?
It’s been so dire, as you’ve seen
I pop a pill - benzodiazepine
Alternate reality, my life’s a fascade, running away from my problem when its getting too hard
Put a false green, but you saw right through
Societal black sheep, constant “I hate you"
Never felt grey, it was deja vu
You could colour me confused, a youth beyondblue
[Hook: Ashan W]
Cos life’s not meant to be alone, no
I guess I should’ve known
Can’t keep saying that’s c’est la vie
Cos I know that you care ’bout me
Cos life’s not meant to be alone, no
I guess I should’ve known
Can’t keep saying that’s c’est la vie
Cos I know that you care ’bout me
[Verse 3: Eddy Xu]
“are you alright? are you okay?”
Would have plead the fifth, but you made feel safe
I just need someone to talk to
And that was you
It can be hard to open up and you helped me do that
If it wasn't for you, dunno where i’d be at
A new chapter in my life-line, c'est la vie
But thanks for being in mine
Got my black suit on, clean shirt pressed
It’s been a while since I got this dressed
Good rest, no stress, imma blessed
