New Soul
Yael Naim Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit 'bout how to give and take
But since I came here
Felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

See I'm a young soul
In this very strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit 'bout what is true and fake
But why all this hate?
Try to communicate
Finding trust and love is not always easy to make

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Ooh

This is a happy end
'Cause you don't understand
Everything you have done
Why's everything so wrong?
This is a happy end
Come and give me your hand
I'll take you far away

I'm a new soul (this is a happy end)
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit 'bout how to give and take
But since I came here (this is a happy end)
Felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake

I'm a new soul (la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la-la)
In this very strange world (la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la)
Making every possible mistake (la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la-la)
Possible mistake (la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la)
Every possible mistakes (la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes (la-la-la-la-la-la)
Mistakes, mistakes, more mistakes (la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la)
Mistakes (la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes, mistakes (la-la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la)
Take a mistake, take, take a mistake
Take, take a mistake, take

Overall Meaning

The song "New Soul" by Yael Naim is a beautiful representation of the struggles of someone who is new to this world, trying to learn about the art of giving and taking. The lyrics speak to a young soul that was hoping to gain knowledge about what is true and what is fake; however, they encounter hate instead of love, and communication becomes a challenge. The combination of the singer's youthful innocence and the world's cynicism creates a tragic, yet hopeful, tone.


The chorus of the song, which is repeated several times throughout the lyrics, is an ode to the mistakes that it's easy to make as a new soul in this world. Despite these mistakes, the singer finds joy and fear in the experiences that they encounter in their journey. The verse "this is a happy end, come and give me your hand, I'll take you far away" signals that the singer has found someone they can trust and who will lead them to a better place. It highlights the importance of connectedness with others in a strange and confusing world.


Overall, "New Soul" is a beautiful commentary on the struggles we all face in life. It's a reminder that communication, trust, and love are not always easy to come by, but they're worth pursuing.

It was 2008, I remember renovating the house with my Dad. I was just 11 at that time but I made a lot of core memories when this song played in the radio. Now I'm 26 and and my Dad passed away just this year. This song makes me feel like I'm 11 and complete all over again.
