The When
2
I was a little lass The angels leapt from panes of glass So unafraid, unafraid
3
And the archers knelt to pray While the goggles kept away
4
Any demon that would scheme to steal my childlike faith We huddled up,
5
we held on tight For grounded men were jealous of the angels' flight Angels' flight
6
There were butterflies to them So they brought their boards to pen The wings
7
and bodies of our gods were studied in
8
We couldn't fight them in the end Once we saw the heavens through their modern lens modern lens
9
Oh how can we atone for the secrets we were shown Like a basilisk they fixed our spirits hard as stone Alas,
10
the muses threw their glasses, stripped away As only madness drowning in the den of our animal skins Enchanté,
11
enchante, enchante, enchante Every myth to crack its lips has nothing more to say It's okay,
12
it's okay, it's okay If we can't raise the dead We're gonna raise,
13
we're gonna raise, we're gonna raise it instead
14
From chagrin I've been released to paint me in a portrait Sons the thick leaves,
15
thick leaves And I will not be concerned or ignore the things I yearn My hunger is the rule I cannot overturn
16
Alas, the virtues through their glasses hid themselves from our madness All we have within is our animal skin Enchante,
17
enchante, enchante, enchante Creature beasts and let them streak into the fray It's okay,
18
it's okay, it's okay If we can't raise the dead We're gonna raise,
19
we're gonna raise, we're gonna raise heaven instead I'm sorry.
20
I miss the days when stars were saintly They sang to me in waves innately Before we enslaved the symphony
21
To playing anthems for selling things I used to wonder Wonder
22
father into all of us Those days were squandered My ghost was lost to the ground up gallows
23
So I find my spirit in the bottle
24
But oh that bottle Hold that bottle Hold that bottle Hold that bottle Enchanté,
25
enchanté, enchanté, enchanté Name the powers meteors and let us go insane It's okay,
26
it's okay, it's okay If we can't raise the dead We're gonna raise,
27
we're gonna raise, we're gonna raise hell instead
28
Create your beats and let them streak into the fray If we can't raise the ten We're gonna raise,
29
we're gonna raise, we're gonna raise hell instead Thank you.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
