This song is the FKJ’s musicalization of the poem written by Guillaume Héritier (his former manager) about experiencing the 2016 southern Taiwan earthquake, which ocurred while they were touring Tainan. It is dedicated to the 117 people that died that day.
[Verse 1: Guillaume Héritier]
Human nature plays with nature
But the nature isn't playing
Some want to rebuild a future
I say stop slaying stop slaying
My hotel room is crackling
Buildings are full of souls falling
And families all struggling
Are turning dead from low ceiling
[Chorus: Guillaume Héritier & FKJ]
Maybe I am ready to leave?
I have lived well for a loner
Maybe I am ready to leave?
I have lived well for a loner
[Verse 2: Guillaume Héritier]
My hotel room from the 10th floor
My last dancefloor as I should tell
My all bedroom has no before
And no later no clientele
Facing fate and I can't fake
When death is there your dances end
When days are done all you can take
Is a deep breath and be decent
[Chorus: Guillaume Héritier & FKJ]
Maybe I am ready to leave?
I have lived well for a loner
Maybe I am ready to leave?
I have lived well for a loner
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus: Guillaume Héritier & FKJ]
Maybe I am ready to leave?
I have lived well for a loner
Maybe I am ready to leave?
I have lived well for a loner
