Chapitre 13
-Mesdames et messieurs, fit Carole Lokwood, ils font la joie et la fierté de notre ville depuis quelques mois déjà ce soir, il nous font l'honneur de venir chanter quelques une de leurs chansons, je vous prit d'accueillir chaleureusement les Vampires.
Sous les applaudissements, ils montèrent sur scène.
Caroline
Take a breath, take it deep
Calm yourself, he says to me
Eléna
If you play, you play for keeps
Take the gun, and count to three
Kathérina
I'm sweating now, moving slow
No time to think, my turn to go
Ensemble
And you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest
And I'm terrified but I'm not leaving
I know that I must pass this test
So just pull the trigger
Kathérina
Say a prayer, to yourself
He says close your eyes, sometimes it helps
Eléna
And then I get,a scary thought
That he's here, means he's never lost
ensemble
And you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest
Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving
I know that I must pass this test
So just pull the trigger
Caroline
As my life flashes before my eyes
I'm wondering will I, ever see another sunrise
Kathérina
So many won't get the chance to say goodbye
But it's too late to think of the value of my life
Ensemble
And you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest
Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving
I know that I must pass this test
And you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest
Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving (No No)
I know that I must pass this test
So just pull the trigger
Klaus voyait parfaitement le double sens de la chanson, derrière la métaphore du suicide, les filles mettaient en avant le fait qu'elles souffraient d'un amour "non réciproque".Et elles comparaient la vie et l'amour au concept de la roulette russe... ça changeait de leur registre habituel ou tout était provocation.
Elijah rejoignit son frère, et lui dit
-ça change de style avec cette chanson, je ne pensais pas qu'ils pouvaient faire des chansons aussi sombres
-Elles, ce sont les filles qui écrivent la plupart de leurs textes...
-oh... je comprends mieux le sens de la chanson dans ce cas, je ne pensais pas que c'était à ce point.
-il semblerait que nous soyons tous dans le même cas, bien que l'un d'entre nous est vraiment aveugle...
-Kol est jeune ça lui passera
-pas en deux mois... ils partent à la fin de l'année scolaire, et je ne pense pas qu'ils reviendront de si tôt à Mystic Falls.
-je ne savais pas, tu parts avec eux?
-non. seulement Bonnie et Alaric les accompagnent...
Ils furent interrompu par la nouvelle chanson, enfin plutôt la reprise d'une chanson
Caroline
If I should stay
I would only be in your way
Katherina
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you every step of the way
Eléna
And I will always love you
I will always love you
Caroline
You, my darling you
Bittersweet memories
That is all I'm taking with me
Katherina
So goodbye, please don't cry
We both know I'm not what you, you need
Eléna
And I will always love you
I will always love you
I hope life treats you kind,
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of
Caroline et Katherina
And I wish to you joy and happiness
But above all this, I wish you love
Eléna
And I will always love you
I will always love you
Katherina
I will always love you
I will always love you
Caroline
I will always love you
I, I will always love you
Eléna
Darling I love you
I'll always,
I'll always love you
-ça a le mérite d'être clair, tient Kol tu te joins à nous... fit Elijah
-elles ont réussi à me foutre des frissons avec cette chanson. Par contre le côté sombre de la première chanson... au fait, tu parts avec eux Klaus?
-non et je ne veux plus en entendre parler, fit il en s'éloignant de ses frères pour stopper net quand Caroline commença à chanter la prochaine chanson.
Caroline:
My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note
Make me your radio
Turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo
Eléna :
If I was just another dusty record on the shelve
Would you blow me off and play me like everybody else
If I ask you to scratch my back, could you manage that
Like it read well, check it Trouty, I can handle that
Furthermore, I apologize for any skipping tracks
Its just the last girl that played me left a couple cracks
I used to used to used to used to, now I'm over that
Cause holding grudges over love is ancient artifacts
Kathérina (en cherchant Elijah dans la foule) :
If I could only find a note to make you understand
I'd sing it softly in your ear and grab you by the hand
Caroline :
Just keep it stuck inside your head, like your favorite tune
And know my heart is a stereo that only plays for you
Eléna:
My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note
Make me your radio
Turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo
Oh oh oh oh
To my stereo
Oh oh oh oh
So sing along to my stereo
Katherina :
If I was an old school, fifty pound boombox
Would you hold me on your shoulder, wherever you walk
Would you turn my volume up before of the cops
And crank it higher everytime they told you to stop
And all I ask is that you don't get mad at me
When you have to purchase mad D batteries
Appreciate every mixtape your friends make
You never know we come and go like we're on the interstate
Caroline :
I think finally found a note to make you understand
If you can hear it, sing along and take me by the hands
Eléna :
Keep myself inside your head, like your favorite tune
And know my heart is a stereo that only plays for you
Kathérina :
My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note
Make me your radio
Turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo
Oh oh oh oh
To my stereo
Oh oh oh oh
So sing along to my stereo
Caroline (en regardant Klaus) :
I only pray you never leave me behind
Because good music can be so hard to find
I take your head and hold it closer to mine
Thought love was dead, but now you're changing my mind
ensemble :
My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note
Make me your radio
Turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo
Oh oh oh oh
To my stereo
Oh oh oh oh
So sing along to my stereo
-je suppose que le message vous est adressé, fit Kol
-si seulement ce n'était que à nous, fit Elijah devant la bêtise de son plus jeune frère, il faut que je parle à Kathérina, et toi parle à Caroline, finit il en regardant Klaus.
-A qui Eléna s'adressait elle? enfin si tu le sais? demanda Kol à Klaus
Ce dernier ne se donna même pas la peine de lui répondre, il leva juste les yeux au ciel en s'éloignant. Il devait parler à Caroline avant leur départ.
