Man I didn't know there were so many Megadeth fans here, I'm always getting a little embarrassed when people ask me what music I like, most people have no idea of the pure genius of the lyrics and songs, they think of heavy metal as dumb headbangers...
I mean take the lyrics from A Tout Le Monde for example, the first time I read them (my English wasn't that good at that time) I nearly cried they are so sad and haunting but the genius is that the music itself is in the middle of being sad, what I mean with that is any other band would have used piano or sad slow guitar solos but not Megadeth the mix of French and English just pure phantastic and gets me everytime i listen to it again.
A Tout Le Monde
Dont remember where I was
I realized life was a game
The more seriously I took things
The harder the rules became
I had no idea what itd cost
My life passed before my eyes
I found out how little I accomplished
All my plans denied
So as you read this know my friends
Id love to stay with you all
Please smile when you think of me
My bodys gone thats all
A tout le monde
A tout les amis
Je vous aime
Je dois partir
"À tout le monde"
To everyone (litt. "To all the world")
"À tous mes amis"
To all my friends
"Je vous aime"
I love you (plural)
"Je dois partir"
I must leave
There are the last words
Ill ever speak
And theyll set me free
If my heart was still alive
I know it would surely break
And my memories left with you
Theres nothing more to say
Moving on is a simple thing
What it leaves behind is hard
You know the sleeping feel no more pain
And the living are scarred
