Masks

Nothing matters to me
It all fades with time
I don't like it anymore when people kiss me
And my fantasies are just as tired
 
Let nothing matter to me
Under my child mask
You could offer me the moon
It would bore me just as much
 
Let yourself go
Idiot
Everything's easy
 
To passions I prefer
Ordinary pleasures
Without complications
 
Let yourself go
Idiot
Everything's easy

All fine. I wonder if the 'que' at the beginning of the second verse is 'how'?

Ooh, thank you! Do you mean a strengthening how as in, "How nothing matters to me"? You're right; this line's a bit off. Maybe a more faithful translation would be, "Let nothing matter to me". I'll adapt it.

You're welcome. I think it's ambiguous. Yes, I took it as 'que' + indicative, which I suppose would normally be 'ce que' come to think of it (how indifferent everything is to me!), but could indeed be 'que' + subjunctive (may/let everything be indifferent to me).

Yeah, I think the sentiment is the same, and since I opted for a more colloquial translation, the second interpretation seems to fit a little more easily. Thank you again. I appreciate your insight.

Would you mind taking a look at another translation of mine? https://lyricstranslate.com/en/love-cest-lamour.html-0 It's my first time translating lyrics to French. I thought it would be a nice challenge, and it was, but I'm a little out of my depth.
