I Am Diamond

Version française

I Am Diamond

Langue : anglais
Texte : paroles originales

« I Am Diamond » fait du diamant l’image d’une identité que la violence, le temps et la destruction ne parviennent pas à effacer. Le feu, la nuit et la poussière deviennent autant d’épreuves contre lesquelles le sujet affirme sa permanence. La répétition de I remain donne au texte la force d’un serment : résister ne signifie pas seulement survivre, mais conserver sa forme intérieure. Derrière cette dureté minérale apparaît ainsi une déclaration de dignité, tendue entre défi et indestructibilité.

English Version

I Am Diamond

Language: English
Text: Original lyrics

“I Am Diamond” turns the diamond into an image of a self that violence, time and decay cannot erase. Fire, darkness and dust become trials against which the speaker repeatedly asserts permanence. The refrain I remain carries the force of a vow: endurance means not only surviving, but preserving an essential inner form. Defiant and elemental, the song presents resilience as a refusal to bend, rust or disappear.

I Am Diamond

언어: 영어
가사: 오리지널 가사

〈I Am Diamond〉는 폭력과 시간, 소멸에도 지워지지 않는 자아를 다이아몬드의 이미지로 표현한다. 불꽃과 어둠, 먼지는 화자를 파괴하려는 시련이 되지만, 반복되는 I remain은 끝까지 남겠다는 맹세처럼 울린다. 여기서 견딘다는 것은 단순히 살아남는 일이 아니라 자신의 본질적인 형태를 지키는 일이다. 이 노래는 굽히거나 녹슬거나 사라지기를 거부하는 강인한 존엄을 선명하게 드러낸다.

I am diamond


Burn me harder if you dare
Burn me harder if you dare


I am diamond
I remain
I am diamond
In the flame


Burn me harder if you dare
I do not move, I do not bend
Strike me with your raging hands
I stand intact until the end

Lock me deep in endless night
Where every breath is torn apart


I am diamond
I remain
I am diamond
In the flame


Still I shine without a flame
A single spark, a solid heart

Break me down, turn me to dust
Let decay obey its law
I refuse the fate of rust
I remain when all is gone


I remain
I am diamond
I remain
In the flame
I am diamond


I survive what should destroy
I endure what should erase
I am not what time employs
I am form, I am base


I am diamond
I remain
I remain
I am diamond
In the flame


I am diamond
I remain
