My night was really fine Even if I Had a dream I was having a sleepless night So I’m very exhausted I was trying to forget you And I was succeeding This night you appeared to me What Am I supposed to do ?

Fright of our lives On the day That something huge happened Fright of our lives That's the way We changed our states of mind Watch this falling man Fright of our lives May Day Someone wants us to change Fright of our lives Okay Think we got the message A drastic way to compromise Get Over ! Get Over ! Day after Hangover This is the 12th of september Get Over ! Get Over ! Day after Game Over We are the 12th of september Change of our lives Mourning day Do our lives fall down ? Change of our lives A new day Or a chance to reborn ? Instead of staying hypnotized Get Over ! Get Over !

Broken Wings 06:16
EHIA Song for Andreas Lubitz For those who have broken wings For those who have broken dreams Liner In the wind When you have such a itch That you're identified to it When you're told it won't fulfil Anger in the wind EHIA Who knows who deserves to die? And if somewhere something shines For those who take all these lives Entitled to the sky? When you're so passioned that You can't do anything else We are a lot to know this Be deprived of success EHIA We're the product of this world Maniac and Obsessed Dressed by mental disorder Blind in front of signs There is no more consciousness Where there's ego everywhere Should we punish the madness? Or try to understand ? EHIA you're looking for the place to be you only see one way to seek Know that we have perfect lives It's just the system that is bad You're looking for the place to be you see only one way to seek Don't be Andreas Lubitz Life is really more fantastic If you live it

Toxic People 04:01
Goodness Is everything I know Hopeless Is everything I thought I've changed I'm a new man now I bless The day when I broke down Some dudes Stuck in their state of mind Are used to suck the blood of I Abused Because I'm too much kind 'feel bruised This toxic people style It's time To shut the door and slam Bye-bye The hand I need is mine You know I'm not a selfish guy If I Don't answer to your cries We give Energy and time And think of you is not a crime It's time To shut the door and slam Bye-bye The hand I need is mine It's time To get back your bad vibes Bye-bye The hand I hold is mine

Love and anger, I tried I knew every fright Every emotion I took dope, then some pills To survive, to deal To blend in with the crowd Now I'm gone and I'm fine Living was something nice But I'm not sure to go back Humans live in the light But they learn to get blind When they're in the school of life Now I know we never decline You must know we never decline No doubt that we never decline Now you know we never decline Now I know we never decline You must know we never decline No doubt that we never decline Now you know we never decline And the love - School of life And the hate - School of life Jealousy - School of life And the peace - And the wars Bravery - School of life Surpassing - School of life Consciousness - School of life Just the school of life The passions - School of life And the rage - School of life The freedom - The Disease All the best, all the worst And the birth - School of life And the death - School of life The progress- School of life Just the school of life

I'll show you my affection Maybe in the coming world I'll declare my love to you I promess, when we're gone Because there is too much wind To keep my Interior flame sometimes I'd like to disappear here I'd like to see what is next And you know the laws on earth we don't have the right to love two times The day we will pass away I'll suggest you to merge Sure we will be unfettered No conventions, no mores And you know well that on earth My heart has already signed Far away from the concrete Love won't have limits anymore Exclusive rights, propriety We need to open these doors And this day I… I Wish you'll be here

Fireworks 04:26
You You passed just in front of me yesterday Me I Put you in crush list of the day Yeah This song Is a song of love for all the girls that I crushed on For all These hypothetical futures That I dream Everyday Every goddamn day Me I often have fireworks in my heart But you You could be the girl of one of my Alt' lives This song Is a song of quantum 'cause each time I get away An entire world create In whitch I have a life With a wife Or a girl for a night Now I must confess, that's all very well but it's bullshit But these trips feed my dreams And I have to go back to my life My true life This song Is a song of love for the one with I share my life Dreamers You know, as I am, need a mothership A home-base To feel godamn safe

My Minstrel 06:07
When she listens To one of my sweetest songs It's to connect To her son She often says That her heart speaks to mine vice versa, She is my mom She tells that I Make her travel all the time By playing notes She feels fine Once, when I was Playing chords with all my soul She told me "You are my minstrel" She doesn't know everything I've done Every trick when I was young But she knows what is the essential I'll always be her minstrel She thinks that my Place is everywhere In tune with the Universe And that if I'm sad Well It doesn't matter I can write a song And it's over She doesn't know everything I've done Every trick when I was young But she knows what is the essential I'll always be her minstrel
9.
Aphonia 06:04
I've dug in humanity to find a sort of silence The aphonia of an oppressed people in a dark dance I have dug in the rational sent an e-mail to the gods To understand why so much hate emanates from they're thoughts Substantially, I try to spawn a way Where I juggle between love and A kind a beast Whose pretty name is "Man" I dug so, that I damaged my back Anyway who cares ? Is it my sensibility that weights on my shoulders ? In any case if there is one thing That I understood We might try to remake the world We'll eventually hurt Substantially, I try to spawn a way Where I juggle between love and A kind a beast Whose pretty name is "Man"

Radio Edith 02:59
If you undress her you could see her structure She can have charm With a good arrangement She's not a minor anymore Liberated You can play with her strings She keeps in your head And you'll need to follow her beat Don't seek her name, she's on the tip of your lips Ev'ry one she slept with Call her "Radio Edith" 'Cause you can give her love During 3 minutes only Not too long the foreplay Even if she needs fingering To the heart of the matter Don't go in for subtleties She's got the rhythm And if you are out of time Be sure to keep the cadence To deserve another dance She's not a fucking object You can trash or skip She's just a rock'n' roll pearl That when you get, you keep Ev'ry one she slept with Call her "Radio Edith" 'Cause you can give her love During 3 minutes only Not too long the foreplay Even if she needs fingering To the heart of the matter Don't go in for subtleties
11.
Socks Vortex 03:39
Every object That doesn't have umbilical noose Can disappear Like the socks Everything Deprived of silver cord can disappear in the socks vortex It happens to the jewelry and the soothers And some payslips And some keys I think that when Our machines turn too fast The things go in the socks vortex It could spend months even years Before they reappear In fact in most cases They even fade from memory It could spend months even years Before they reappear And in fact when I think It also happens to human beings And one fine day Miracle, they reappear Most of the people close the file I won't be tricked As if nothing had happened I wanna know where they come from It could spend months even years Before they reappear In fact in most cases They even fade from memory It could spend months even years Before they reappear And in fact when I think It also happens to human beings
12.
Some of people say They want to make love everyday To drink, to smoke, to feel alive A shout of “happy” for a day Some of them think about suicide But they are just borderline But to be sit on a chair You Know It’s Cool Remain sitted on a chair Stay in the most profound silence Eteins toutes les lumières You have to put your brain off You will see that to do nothing It’s too fun, so much fun ! Stay like that one hour full You’ll know… You’ll know it’s cool

about

Frederik Franklin & Fwends Lille, France

This sonic entity born from the fusion of three fwends has the pleasure of suffering from multiple personality disorder: irrational humanist, eccentric perfectionist, and irreverent moron.

The ambilalence of their self-confident rock could be labelled ironically as "mainstream-indie" just to make it confusing.

But make no mistake : when guitar walls crumble, wide open spaces appear.
