I Like This
Eric Serra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know who I am
I don't know where I'm from
I don't know why I'm here, I don't care
I don't know where I'm going
I don't know what I wish
I don't know what I came here for
I don't know what I will
I don't know if I care
I don't know why I would want to know
I don't know what's a waste
I don't know when I'll die
Only one little thing I'm sure
That I like this
I don't know what is good
I don't know why it's bad
I don't know who is wrong
I don't know what is right
I don't know who's a friend
I don't know why a foe
I don't know what to trust and why
I don't know what you think
I don't care what you say
I don't care what you see me like
I don't know what you fear
I don't care what you hide
But there is one little thing I know
That I like this
Hmm, yes I like this
I don't know what to think
when you're talking serious
I can't believe what I hear
I don't know what to say
I don't know if I can
Let you know how much I don't care
I don't need your advice
Your idea of my fate
I don't need anymore stock-phrases
I don't care who you are
I don't need any judge
There's only one little thing I need
And I like this
I don't know what you feel
I don't feel what you say
You don't say what you think
But you think I will buy
All your lies
Your disguise
All your simulated cries
I don't care if you plead
But I know that you need
Not to know what you would not dare
'Cause you know what I mean
When I say that I know
There's only one little thing I have to have




And I like this
Hmm, yes I like this

Overall Meaning

The song "I Like This" by Eric Serra is a bold declaration of the singer's indifference towards worldly pursuits such as knowledge, ambition, and relationships. He admits he does not know who he is, where he is from, what his purpose is, or where he is going. He does not care about the opinions of others, their judgments, or their advice. Despite all this, he confesses that he likes something, but he does not elucidate what that thing is. It can be interpreted that he finds pleasure in his own sense of detachment and autonomy, in not being held back by societal norms and expectations.


The song is a reflection of individualism and the desire for freedom from external pressures. The lyrics convey a sense of existentialism as the singer seems lost in the vastness of the universe and is unable to find absolute meaning in any aspect of life. However, he is content in liking something, whatever it may be, and is not seeking any further answers.
