Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
شمس النهار عني بعيدة
زحم افكار محاوطها الانكسار
والخير جواه فكرة غريبه
يمشي في طريق بعيد يصاحب فيه يأسه
ولا في طريق قريب يبيع فيه نفسه
The song صعب الاختيار (Difficult Choice) by Amir Eid talks about the difficult choices we face in life, and how waiting for the outcome of those choices can be even harder. The first line, "صعب الاختيار والاصعب الانتظار" (Difficult choice and the hardest part is waiting) sets the tone for the song, conveying the idea that making a decision can be tough, but waiting for the results can be even more stressful.
The second line, "شمس النهار عني بعيدة" (The daylight sun is far away from me), suggests a feeling of disconnection and loneliness, as if the singer is going through a difficult time alone. The following lines, "زحم افكار محاوطها الانكسار والخير جواه فكرة غريبه" (A crowd of thoughts surrounding the breakdown, and the good is hidden in a strange idea), highlight the confusion and chaos that come with making a difficult choice, yet the singer believes that there is a positive outcome waiting to be discovered.
The last two lines, "يمشي في طريق بعيد يصاحب فيه يأسه ولا في طريق قريب يبيع فيه نفسه" (Walking on a distant path accompanied by despair, or selling himself on a nearby road) reflect the anxiety and fear that come with making choices. The singer is admitting that the choices they make may not always be the right ones, and that they may have to sacrifice themselves in the process.
