Le Navire 
Comme un navire vers l’ile
Rêvée qui ne voit pas
Son sable, son soleil, sa rive
Ses palmiers et ses bras

Suit l’courant immobile
Tend ses voiles et puis croit
Naïf et imbécile
Que le vent l’y amènera

Perdu figé fossile
Attend montre du doigt
Il tangue sans béquilles
Ne se regarde pas

Et quand le courant d’air
L’emporte sans avoir fait de choix
Croit qu’le destin opère
L’enlise le courbe le noie
         
Refrain :
   Il est beau le navire
   Mais si tu ne serres pas
   La barre et deviens guide
   Renonce faisant des choix
   Il s’perdra en dérive
   Jamais n’te conduira
   Vers la douce et l’exquise
   Liberté d’être soi

Descends de ton navire
   Prends tes jambes et tes bras
   N’attends plus qu’l’on t’ porte
   Qu’l’on recouse pour toi

L’aiguille et puis le fil
Sont au bout de tes doigts
L’air l’eau et puis l’argile
Porteront tes pas

Puis la conscience que le monde
Malgré ton désarroi 
N’s’pliera ni à tes colères
Pas même à l’effroi

Accepte que seul tu fondes
En subissant parfois
Mais qu’après les heures sombres
Le bonheur te tutoie

Le Navire

‘Shot You Down’ is a pop, edgy ballad full of dark sounds that could become the theme tune for the next James Bond Movie!

It follows the story of being in an unhealthy relationship and the strength it can take to walk away. Written by Chloey Rose and produced by Aron Bicskey, the track builds from smoky late night piano atmospheres to become a powerful anthem for getting up again once you’ve been cut down, with a nod to Nancy Sinatra’s classic track ‘Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)’.
