Coupure de courant

It's a power outage and it's bleeding a little
Quick, a drop or two of alcohol, the line is down
Faulty system or implied misunderstanding: We can't hear each other anymore
Maybe it's a little moth that's not very nice
Where did I put the anti-theft device? A cricket, a parasite jamming the wires
Disjointed speech, pandemonium

We can't hear each other anymore, too many jarring sounds
Too many sirens, too many shouts and tears
And you're still speechless, or my antennas are always breaking down

Wavelength change or low batteries
Heart in pieces and face limp, he should answer me
Because the walls are wobbling as if I'd been drinking without realizing it
We can't hear each other anymore, it's an unfortunate setback, an interference
Should we check our compasses, wrong course, accident, or sensory failure?
Disjointed atoms, high-pitched accents

We can't hear each other anymore, too many clashing sounds
Too many sirens, too many screams and tears
And you, always speechless, or my antennae always failing
