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.


Line by Line Meaning

I'm a new soul
I am a novice to this world, lacking experience and knowledge


I came to this strange world
I recently arrived in this unfamiliar place


Hoping I could learn a bit 'bout how to give and take
I desired to gain insight on how to cooperate and exchange with others


But since I came here
However, since I arrived


Felt the joy and the fear
I have experienced happiness and trepidation


Finding myself making every possible mistake
Even so, I have been constantly making errors and bad decisions


See I'm a young soul
You see, I am new to this world


In this very strange world
In this exceedingly unusual and perplexing environment


Hoping I could learn a bit 'bout what is true and fake
I wished to gain knowledge on distinguishing fact from fiction


But why all this hate?
However, why is there so much animosity?


Try to communicate
Attempting to converse with others


Finding trust and love is not always easy to make
Discovering that creating connections built on love and trust is not straightforward


This is a happy end
This is a pleasant conclusion


'Cause you don't understand
Because you lack comprehension


Everything you have done
All of your actions


Why's everything so wrong?
Why is everything not right?


Come and give me your hand
Come and hold my hand


I'll take you far away
I will lead you to a distant place


Mistakes, mistakes, more mistakes
One mistake after another


Take a mistake, take, take a mistake
Choosing to make a mistake, taking it as if it is something to be had


Take, take a mistake, take
Choosing to make mistake after mistake

My dad used to play this song to me when I was in the car with him and we’d go to pizza places, birthday parties, even school and the doctor’s. I love this song. Don’t worry, my dad’s still alive, and I love him, but I came here because I love this song and i love him.
