Here's a song about alcoholism.
It's the kind of subject that needs to be treated with modesty, delicacy and objectivity, because the aim is not to judge, let alone condemn, those who are experiencing difficulties, but to show that they are fighting a difficult battle against themselves and this scourge that penalizes them and their loved ones. They need help, not rejection! This song is dedicated to them !

Thanks to Deej for the good advice! I modified the voice (-1.5dB) and equalized the sax a little, so it's less bright. I hope it sounds better
For the past three days, I've been working with another set of headphones with which I'm not yet very familiar (Audio Technica ATH M50) instead of my Beyerdynamics DT770 PRO, which I've been using for years. Very different! But you get used to it as you listen to the old mixes. So it's great if you can give me some advice.
I appreciate

English lyrics below (free translation that doesn't match the music as it is)

AFRAID OF MYSELF

VERSE 1
Sitting by the ocean's edge
Eyes fixed upon the horizon
I see the void, the emptiness
There, on the line of flotation
Suddenly, I think I glimpse
A figure rising from nowhere
As if someone emerged straight from the depths

But I tell myself, "I’ve had too much to drink"
It’s my sin, it’s my poison
My eyes drown in the vastness
Until I lose all reason
I’m haunted by this obsessive image
Of a silhouette drawing me closer
And half-whispering, asking why I’m afraid

CHORUS
Yes, I’m afraid I failed to resist
These demons, these sins
Oh, I’m afraid they’ll see me as less than nothing
That they’ll treat me like a nobody
Yes, I’m afraid I’ve betrayed all my friends
And lost my family
Yes, I’m afraid... afraid of myself

VERSE 2
The day after the accident
It felt like I was in the abyss
No pretense, no illusions
I swore to myself I’d stay clean
But it’s truly not easy
Because life’s no smooth-sailing river
Temptation knocks at my door, like a visitor

A night out with my mates
We hit all the bars in town
I don’t want to play Don Quixote
For just one drink, the one too many
I don’t know how to break my chains
For it’s no longer blood coursing through my veins
And I drown beneath the inquisitive stares
