Dans ses yeux tristes
Je me trouve face à moi
Je ne sais pas quoi dire
Par là je me noie
Sur ma peau des rides
Des traits sombre et noirs

Ici la fille tisse
Ses rêves insolites
Ses peurs parasites
Dans une vie sans limites

Dans ses yeux tristes
Aux yeux clairs et teint pâle
Je l’ai vue elle se hisse
Même si elle a mal
Elle a peur du vide
Ou d’une vie trop fade

Ici la fille tisse
Ses rêves insolites
Ses peurs parasites
Dans une vie sans limites

Ouh ouh ouh … 

Dans ses yeux tristes
Où coulent des larmes
Elle croit mais elle file
Le coeur bat et se calme
Elle se tait l’âme grise
Au fin fond elle se damne

Ici la fille tisse
Ses rêves insolites
Ses peurs parasites
Dans une vie sans limites

Ici la fille tisse
Ses rêves insolites
Ses peurs parasites
Dans une vie sans limites

Ouh oh oh oh …

La fille triste

01/17/2025 There was a time I thought my little songs could actually "change the world"; that perhaps music could make us all more kind, compassionate, tolerant, empathic, less violent, less greedy, or at a minimum, happier. 

I have always hoped we could navigate our differences with words rather than weapons and that humanity could as a whole, truly practice reverence for the planet and all the living creatures who share it with us. 

But, I see now how absolutely naive I was. The despair, suffering, destruction, and apathy that continues now, many years after I wrote this song, has not changed. Some things, are better but many things, are not; however, I remain hopeful that humanity will eventually work things out and I, in any way that I can, will keep trying to make things better. And so I decided, I would finish producing this song and include it in my first album; an album which on many days might be the continuation of a journey, or on other days, the end of a journey.

Track 5 from my album. I hope you enjoy it.

© 2024 Lyrics, Music, Content By Brenda Doss

I should be happy  
With all of my life
I should be satisfied 
But I’m not
Why do I carry 
The weight of the world on my back
Why should I care
When no one else does

I am a slave 
To the thoughts that I have
I need to change the world
With these tired hands 
Don’t turn me off 
Don’t turn me down
Don’t shut me in 
Don’t throw me out
And I might go crazy
But you might come around
       
At the back door 
You will find me
And I might never leave
At the back door 
You will find me
These tired hands are bleeding
 
Should I worry
If it all goes to hell
Can I live my life in apathy
Like everybody else
Why am I here 
What can I change
These reckless times  
I’m not to blame
Isn’t anybody out there
Isn’t anyone afraid

At the back door 
You will find me
And I might never leave
At the back door 
You will find me
Begging on my knees
At the back door 
You will find me
These tired hands are bleeding

I’m your disease
I’m  your despair
I’m like a flea
I’m in your hair
I’m breeding in your conscience
When you don’t want me there

At the back door 
You will find me
And I might never leave
At the back door 
You will find me
Begging on my knees
At the back door 
You will find me
A wounded heart grieves
At the back door 
You will find me yeah yeah yeah

At the back door 
You will find me
And I might never leave
At the back door 
You will find me
Cause I'm begging on my knees
At the back door 
You will find me
A wounded heart grieves
At the back door 
You will find me
These tired hands are reaching

Debut

Back Door

Fatigués de ces monstres ordinaires que l'on voit dans les faits divers ?
J'aimerais qu'on ne me mélange pas à certains individus qui pour moi sont tout sauf des hommes
C'est ce qui m'a inspiré cette chanson.

(translated below)
-----

J'aimerais effacer ces 'mâles'
Des photos de mon genre
Mais qui désigner responsable   
De ces monstres, des loups qu'on engendre

Je ne suis pas cet animal
Qui prend, qui tue, qui viole 
Je ne crois pas cette loi fatale
Qui imposerait la camisole 

Moi je vis libre et sans geôle
Etre un homme n'est pas un rôle
Ni plus, ni moins
Qu'une femme : un être humain

Moi je vis libre et sans geôle
Etre un homme n'est pas un rôle
Essayer d'être bon
Un être humain

Pourquoi les tyrans seraient des hommes
Et les bourreaux des garcons
S'il n'y a que nous sur le podium
Ce concours est celui des cons

Mais quel étrange apprentissage
Archaique et si pauvre
Qui valorise et encourage
D'être fort de dominer l'autre

Moi je vis libre et sans geôle
Etre un homme n'est pas un rôle
Ni plus, ni moins
Qu'une femme : un être humain

Moi je vis libre et sans geôle
Etre un homme n'est pas un rôle
Essayer d'être bon  
Un être humain

I'd like to erase these males
From the photos of my kind
But who's to blame
For these monsters, the wolves we breed

I'm not that animal
Who takes, who kills, who rapes 
I don't believe in this fatal law
That would impose a straitjacket

I live free and unrestrained
Being a man is not a role
No more, no less
Than a woman: a human being

I live free and unrestrained
Being a man is not a role
Trying to be good
A human being

Why should tyrants be men
And executioners boys
If it's just us on the podium
This contest is for assholes only

But what a strange apprenticeship
Archaic and so poor
Which values and encourages
To be strong and dominate others

I live free and unrestrained
Being a man is not a role
No more, no less
Than a woman: a human being

I live free and unrestrained
Being a man is not a role
Trying to be good
A human being

Etre Humain

What would I do different if I could  turn back time. 
Would I take a different path, not knowing what I'd find?
I didn't know to think about the consequence of actions? 
I lived a life based upon causes and reactions 

I think, who would I miss if I I chose a different road
I'd be a different person, someone I don't know. 
One tiny thing could change all things, a different way of life
Maybe something careless happened, maybe I would have died.

If I had done things differently, who would be my children?
You cannot miss what you never had, but still . . . then,
We learn from everything we do. Wisdom comes from learning    
We experience life as we age, growing fast and yearning

Would I want the joy of youth and erase the me I know? 
One tiny change, one subtle choice, doesn't mean no sorrow
It doesn't mean a better life, though different it would be
Don't wish away the life you have, be happy you are me.

There is No Looking Back
