[Vidéo] Jinjer : "Teacher, Teacher!" (Paroles / Lyrics)

Et si le chaînon manquant entre Néo-Métal, Métalcore Progressif et Deathcore s'appelait Jinjer ? Dans tous les cas, il est très difficile de mettre dans une case le groupe ukrainien emmené par sa charismatique frontwoman Tatiana Shmaylyuk, ou encore de lui coller une étiquette. Voilà sans doute pourquoi ce groupe arrive à tirer son épingle du jeu depuis quelques années déjà.

Au tout début de l'année 2019 - le 11 janvier plus exactement -, Jinjer a proposé un nouvel EP baptisé Micro dont deux morceaux ont déjà reçu des clips vidéo : "Perennial" et "Ape". "Teacher, Teacher" est donc le troisième single extrait de ce recueil à recevoir des images. Cette fois, le groupe a profité de sa tournée de promotion de Micro pour tourner des images en Live et ainsi monter ce clip. Et ça en impose, ce morceau démontrant toute la versatilité dont peut faire preuve le quatuor sur le plan musical, que ce soit en terme de chant ou de technique et genres pratiqués. En bref, du solide. L'EP Micro est en écoute intégrale sur Youtube.

Good evening, kids, take your seats, open up your Bibles
I'm gonna chastise some rivals so keep your eyes wide open
The young soul lost control, made her first foul
This is my duty to set the bounds

She grabbed my hand, took me in, placed me in front of the class
She gave a hint I was the clou of her mass / I’m in the middle of the Holy of Holies
I have no worries / I saw dusty icons on the wall / I saw needles and stones
So she put a paper bag on my head / She pointed finger at me, and then she said
"Dear Lord, forgive me as I'm slapping, slapping, slapping this sinful child
By your hand I'm led so I will, show, show what is wrong and what is right
Choose your label ’cause I'm mercy, mercy, merciful
Put your knuckles on the table, meet my friend ferule who'll punish you"

When their prejudice let us down / We stand firmly on our ground
Don't let their school make a fool of you because the teachers may be fools too
When their prejudice let us down / We stand firmly on our ground
Don't let their school make a fool of you because the teachers may be fools too

Laws chalked on the blackboard can't be erased until it gets boring
The lady spoke and then she choked on the convictions oh so alluring
She made a pause in her verbal overdose, my paper bag slipped down on the floor
I took a look around, there was no sanctuary, desks empty, the school was all imaginary
Teacher, teacher! Self-proclaimed preacher under the flag of welfare your lectures start to blare
We need no soap shoved down our throats, so keep your monologues unrated and remote
I am a bad example of order / This life is not a prison and you are not a warden
Please teacher, teacher! Leave us alone as we accept life lessons from no one

Your idols scream to me throwing shame on my face
As I turn away from infamy and disgrace

I smile to you, ’cause I want you to see how I break the rules in front of your trinity
Your idols scream to me throwing shame on my face
As I turn away from infamy and disgrace
Oh, I smile to you / I smile to you / I smile to you
