The way French sounds over this is uncanny and beautiful.

j'ai le vertige à l'envers, je contemple le vide...

Est- ce que je peux le dire?
J'ai le vertige à l'envers.
Contemple le vide.
Ton silence en réponse.
Et mes soupirs qui se meurent sur ta peau.

I have two hearts. One of them is hard as hell.
Its scarred shell cracks when it starts to swell.
The heart is hell...
The other one's colors run, discovers some when lovers come.
... Vertigo in reverse.
Devoted and cursed. It hurts. Exploded and worse.
... Inserted slow. The star that fell.
I have two hearts and one of them is hard as hell.

J'ai le vertige à l'envers.
Je contemple le vide.
Une fascination naissante.
Ton silence en réponse.

Contemplating nothingness. Concentrating.
Drunkenness. Substances... Complicating.
Combination lovelessness. Silent replies.
Violent surprise. Science and lies.
Unsatisfied. Covetous. Divine madness - died of it.
Why does it got to be so damn tough?
No chance. Hush. Cards played, cards withheld. 
I have two hearts and one of them is hard as hell.
Discard, dispel doubts like demons.
Droughts might deepen. I shout my reasons.
Without my freedom. Prisoner of my own mind.
Body betrayed. Sinister and I'm going blind.
Down in a gold mine, I drown in the cold shine.
Glittering hope. Seeking the slippery slope.
Victory? Nope. I'm under a harmless spell.
Sometimes the mind is paradise and the heart is hell.

Your heart belongs to me and I'm aimless.
I'm famous for it - runaway train and contagious,
Crazy or courageous. Escape plans fell through.
Magician changed hands, didn't have the heart to tell you.
It's hard to swallow, impossible to follow.
Obstacle course to the problem's probable source.
It's audible and pounds with optimal force. It's awful.
I get off on possession of stolen property - unlawful.
Properly confiscated. Destructive. Concentrated.
Domination though the instructions are complicated.
Followed my heart, misled by my hard directions...

Heart As Hell

Bike For Three! is the well-lucked and mysterious cross-continental duo of Canadian indie-rap legend Richard Terfry (Buck 65) and budding Belgian electronicist Joëlle Phuong Minh Lê (Greetings From Tuskan). Shrouded in strange magic, anchored by the heavy stuff of life, and lifted by a mutual magnetism still uncharted, their music is a bright/stunning combination of downtempo textures, smart pop, and exposed lyrical bones.
