↓ LYRICS ↓
I get lost in my thoughts, and for hours of time
And it’s making me feel
Like I am not alone anymore
To be honest (to be honest)
I am trying to love, but I’m afraid to kill
And I never know when,
When to search or stay still
So I fly
To be honest
with you
Broken and yet tender
Always in and always out
Heading to the water
Drowning in what it can hide
Kind of always cautious
Don’t you don’t you break my heart
Feeling kind of loveless
Yet always ready to try
And I’ve been through so much
That sometimes it feels far
It is like a movie
Played by another star
She’s a stranger
To be honest (to be honest)
Now I’m sitting alone
And I’m trying to listen
To the stories that could
Make mine a little softer, and fine
To be honest
Broken and yet tender
(Douce et abîmé)
Always in and always out
(Toujours à côté)
Heading to the water
(Dans l’eau s’enfoncer)
Drowning in what it can hide
(Ne rien y trouver)
Kind of always cautious
(Toujours protégé)
Don’t you don’t you break my heart
(Y a rien à casser)
Feeling kind of loveless
(J’ai rien à donner)
Yet always ready to try
(J’ai tout à donner, donner)
(Away, away)
(Away, away)
(Away, away)
(Away, away)
(Away, away)
(Away, away)
(Oh, oh, oh)

[@cathy9334]

C'est exactement ça,on retrouve la dynamique des débuts de Chriss, c'est limpide 👍

[@ValBrindilles]

Pas loin du premier jour où tout était encore en noir et blanc et serais toujours là quoiqu'il arrive ça c'est certain ! Peu d'artistes suivent leur propres voix et osent un pas de plus à chaque passage vers la liberté d'être. En plus j'aime ses messages qui nous parlent comme si nous étions ses proches, ça n'a pas de prix ses confidences.

[@willib7584]

Hello me

[@richardconn2012]

why is this not number 1 everywhere - its a absolutely stunning song and catchy as hell

[@pushthetempo2]

I dont know any other pop stars of today that mix art, performance, dancing, gender, lyrics and personas in such a sincere, authentic way. All the other female pop stars reinvent their look each album, but it often feels fake and manufactured. You can sense the genuine ethos in Chris's work. Like David Bowie did. As much as I like the electronic sound, I hope one day he makes music with a band. That voice would sound soo good over guitars/strings/ sax/ drums!

[@danielpujol8266]

@pushthetempo2 : It's really ironic and so funny you say "reinvent their look each album, but it often feels fake and manufactured" but then say "genuine ethos in Chris's work. Like David Bowie did"... given reinventing his look each album is exactly what Bowie always did! 😅 Thanks for the unintended giggle though. * And I say that as a huge Bowie fan since a young age, followed him closely right until the 'end', saw him play live and have almost every album he recorded. Yet I acknowledge there are those who would say some of Bowie's changes of look or musical style "felt fake and manufactured". 🤷‍♂

[@nathanconstable6833]

This song feels like every CATQ era combined - it hits so hard, especially that “she feels like a stranger” line

[@gradoca]

[@christophermay2400]

There is some incredible music coming out this year but "To be honest" seems to be in a category all of its own. This song is like a skeleton key that unlocks all your feelings.

[@Fierlapin]

Every lyric in this hits so hard. Just like in People I’ve Been Sad Chris has such a way with words and the delivery of them and these two songs are probably my fav songs from him

I just want to comment over and over again…masterful, thrilling, enthralling, intensely emotional, arresting…can’t stop watching

[@RocknRollAlive]

That's great. It is impossible to stop listening from the day of the premiere. On repeat. This is return with a new masterpiece!

[@element-115]

This song is very dangerous because it's TO BEATIFUL!!!

[@Deedee-ee1sg]

Have loved Christine and the Queens since Tilted. New track sounds wonderful.

[@a.g.costello7224]

The song is fantastic, as always, but to be honest I'm mesmerized by the dancing. He has such a distinct way of moving, very somatic, he's clearly very conscious of the way his body FEELS in the movement, the resistance or lack of. I've also always loved the way he throws his center of gravity around somewhat recklessly; watching his performances I'm always on the edge of my seat feeling like he's about to fall over, and now that he actually has it feels kind of cathartic lolol. What a gorgeous, personal performance.

[@a.g.costello7224]

And to the person who's inevitably going to show up and try to correct my use of he/him for Chris/Red: he's trans, you're wrong, get well soon.

[@marnicorn]

this is such a beautiful observation and i couldn’t agree more

[@phionna6672]

Thought that was a chick? I can't believe that's a dude..🤔

[@phionna6672]

Body disorder IS a thing..Guess it's easier to just call yourself 'Trans' but hey, I'm not hating..this is beautiful music. Facts.

[@JavenarchX]

​@@phionna6672 you mean disphoria

[@adgf_id]

I know nothing about dance, but I do know the way Chris dances does something to me. I think it's something about seeing someone be completely and utterly expressive with their emotions in a physical way.

[@ericfischer2271]

Great Song. Please more of this.

I can't get this song and the words out of my head. It stirred feelings in me when I was feeling low. It's a somber time for me because the one year anniversary of my mom's death is coming up. I've been through a lot, ups and downs. I've spent a lot of time alone with my thoughts. I feel so connected to this song and video. I love that it's shot in black and white, like Wings of Desire. I almost imagine angel wings appearing. Thank you Chris for touching my soul. I feel less alone. ❤

[@micheleandheryorkie4496]

Susan you’re not alone sweetheart. It’ll be the one year anniversary of my father's passing in August. We’ve been thrown into a new life, one we didn’t and never would have chosen. Huge hugs for you ❤

[@brunovallat_soufflet8393]

déjà un standard.C'est juste une merveille.....Comme un début, comme une naissance.....boulversant....

[@lyhoneejil6494]

Certaines personnes se réjouissent dans les commentaires de "retrouver enfin" la Christine and the Queens des débuts. Pour moi cette essence n'est jamais vraiment partie et transparaît de manière différente dans chaque projet. Il y a vraiment une cohérence et une progression, en nuance. On assiste plutôt au déploiement de l'immense liberté artistique de Chris qui propose quelque chose d'unique non seulement en France mais sur la scène mondiale. En tout cas c'est magnifique, je compte les jours avant l'album.

[@ValBrindilles]

C'est exactement ce que je ressens. L'audace de cet artiste avec sa créativité qu'il porte comme un baluchon est phénoménal depuis le premier jour. J'avoue avoir été interloquée par l'indélicatesse des fans en France dans sa grande majorité. Un artiste n'est pas un produit du supermarché que l'on peut utiliser à sa guise mais pire encore le juger et le jeter en pâture puis le reprendre à nouveau comme un jouet mécanique qui joue la mélodie que l'on expectait.

[@PaulStackhouse]

@@ValBrindilles Déjà vous voyez bien que c'est UNE artiste et pas UN, ce qui prouve que vous êtes complètement lobotomisé par le "spectacle" que les élites instaurent au travers le divertissement, ce qui contredit donc totalement vos pensées naïves.

[@ValBrindilles]

@@PaulStackhouse le respect ne doit pas être votre fort passons et quant à la lobotomie pratique barbare je vous apprends qu'elles ne sont plus pratiquées. Nostalgique de cette époque j'imagine !

[@PaulStackhouse]

@@ValBrindillesVous devriez vous regarder dans une glace si vous pensez que donner son avis c'est être irrespectueux .... Ensuite j'ai employé le verbe lobotomiser, pas le nom commun, qui peut s'utiliser de manière imagée, pour signifier qu'on altère notre intelligence, et c'est le cas quand on essaye de faire passer des individus pour ce qu'ils ne sont pas, ou qu'on les rends incapables de savoir.

[@fredericluc7359]

​@@ValBrindilles vous faites preuve précisément du même dénigrement et de la même arrogance envers le public, qui a valu a Redcar de passer de 250.000 ventes à 4000 entre son 2è et 3è album.​LE PUBLIC n'est pas non plus "un produit de supermarché que l'artiste peut jeter et utiliser à sa guise...mais pire encore le jeter en pâture puis le reprendre comme un jouet mécanique" pour qu'il lui donne les applaudissements, les critiques et le soutien financier qu'il expectait. Vous voyez, ça marche dans les 2 sens 😂 D'autant plus que dans les fans de Christine and the Queens, il y des milliers d'artistes, de tous horizons. Que l'art reprenne sa place, qu'il irradie de beauté, que chacun décide ou non d'y adhérer, et que personne ne soit jugé parce qu'il aura aimé ou non une proposition.
