lyrics

I'VE SEEN IT HAPPEN
© Louis Gaston

I’ve seen it happen
I’ve seen it happening before
I’ve seen it happen
Before my eyes
Before my eyes were open
When I was hoping for a dream
But things are never as they seem
I don’t fit in a perfect scheme
I’ve seen it happen in a dream
I’ve seen it happen in a dream

I need a shelter
I need a place for me to hide
I need a shelter
From myself
To put the book back on the shelf
‘Cause I can’t read it anymore
I need someone to close the door
My knees are sinking in the floor
Can’t read my story anymore
Can’t read my story anymore

I felt it rising
I felt it crash and rise again
I feel it diving
Inside my brain
This yo-yo is my ball and chain
One day I’m flying like a plane
The next I hide to cry in pain
Wish I could stop this crazy game
This yo-yo is my ball and chain
This yo-yo is my ball and chain

Solo

I dance with demons
I feel them floating in my song
I dance with demons
All night long
They haunt the room where I belong
They think I am so big and strong
I wish they knew how they’re wrong
They spin around and sing along
Demons are floating in my song
Demons are floating in my song

I fight this battle
This battle I don’t comprehend
I’ll fight this battle
Until the end
This shield I wear is not a trend
This broken sword is not a friend
My fight is coming ‘round the bend
The war is real I don’t pretend
I’ll fight this battle ‘til the end
I’ll fight this battle ‘til the end

... Inside my brain
This yo-yo is my ball and chain
One day I’m flying like a plane
The next I hide to cry in pain
Wish I could stop this crazy game
This yo-yo is my ball and chain
This yo-yo is my ball and chain

about

Louis Gaston Paris, France

Louis Gaston stands for his blues-rock influences and carves his French name on the wooden benches of the Songwriter’s Club.
The lyrics are maybe sour, often ironic, sometimes dark, always honest.
From his warm gritty voice, he puts his life and his dreams into contrasted pictures, and delivers authentic stories coming out of a trunk full of memories, nightmares, fantasies and hopes.
