The noise -- the silence

Emotionless

The swarming lights

Abounding data

The poor -- the rich

Debauched pleasure

Delight and grudge

Ideal, self-centred

Strange feelings and unreal overwhelm my consciousness right now

Steadily grows within my self an incongrous shade of distress

Adrifting mind

Impaired cognition

An empty feeling

The chasm spreads

Inconsistency

The look not crossing

Ambiguous feeling

Vapid talks

People inside the wall they go with their faces cast down

Please do explain to me why everyone seems to be happy

When I found that I now had become L'Étranger

Where did the scenes which I know disappear?

I cannot understand why you don't seem to care

Maybe we never understand

A blurring view

Un-empathy

Confused impulses

Dejection spreads

Stagnating feelings

Suppressed flames

A seething hatred

Swollen despair

My susceptibility becomes extinct day by day

I'm now, I realize, farthest away from the ideal

I don't grasp anymore what it means that I am

All that you say sounds now meaninglessly

I don't see how you accept all the Absurd that there is

Maybe we never understand

I don't grasp anymore what it means that I am

All that you say sounds now meaninglessly

I don't see how you accept all the Absurd that there is

Maybe we never understand

When I found that I now had become L'Étranger

Where did the scenes which I know disappear?

I cannot understand why you don't seem to care

Maybe we never understand

Maybe I never understand
