********************************************

You're a fraud and you know it

But it's too good to throw it all away

Anyone would do the same

You've got 'em going

And you're careful not to show it

Sometimes you even fool yourself a bit

It's like magic

But it's always been a smoke and mirrors game

Anyone would do the same

So now that you've arrived well you wonder

What is it that you've done to make the grade

And should you do the same?

(Is that too easy?)

Are you only trying to please them

Will they see then-

You're desperate to deliver

Anything that could give you

A sense of reassurance

When you look in the mirror

Such highs and lows

You put on quite a show

All these highs and lows

And you're never really sure

What you do it for

Well do you even want to know?

You put on quite a show

Mother

Are you watching?

You're a fraud and you know it

And every night and day you take the stage

And it always entertains

You're giving pleasure

And that's admirable you tell yourself

And so you'd gladly sell yourself

To others

Mother

Are you watching?

Such highs and lows

You put on quite a show

All these highs and lows

And you're never really sure

What you do it for

Well do you even want to know?

Yeah you put on quite a show

Gotye should redo this using synthesizers and get Cyriak to do the video.

La musique de Gotye agit comme un faisceau de lumière en pleine nuit. Appelante, elle émet de cette obscurité une attraction aux abords enivrants pour se révéler à bonne portée lacérante. De part bien des égards et des égarements, elle peut, tour à tour, être qualifiée d'originale par sa sincérité et surprenante par son impertinence autant que simpliste dans sa sobriété et redondante dans son essence. Gotye joue et se joue, d'une gamme tout en contraste, de nos sentiments gâchés les plus cachés en prenant avec soin, le mal de nous les dépeindre, à coup de jets acides et gerbes acerbes, sur toile nue de tout poil, le tout ne formant qu'un miroir reformant, du quelle on admire dès lors, en accord d'un éveille d'or, notre âme, fine abîme sans fin fait d’innombrables fils d'or. Pourtant aussi brillant soit l'instant, gare à ne pas trop se laisser vaquer à contempler cet abîme, car fini lassé par un temps compté et le retard accumulé, l'âme abimé, l’abîme l’a. Mais déjà fort d’être tard, le train en gare, je commence à revoir. Le signal d’alerte annonçant le départ, bien mal venu, je quitte ce quai à demi-mue et m’affaire la tête en l'air, à prendre mon billet, en classe rien à faire, toujours en allé, simple condamné à ce voyage sempiternel pour nul part.

I'm think he's talking bout how he and other artists sell themselves to the evil for fame and then suffer the consequences
