Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gums' song "Don't give up" are somewhat cryptic and open to interpretation. However, they seem to be a message of hope and perseverance, encouraging the listener to push through difficult times and not give up. The repeated phrase "Yes, I know that we can, we like and don't give up the end" serves as an affirmation and reminder for the listener to stay strong and persist until the end.


The use of the metaphor of a lion in the jungle adds to the motivational tone of the song. Lions are powerful and strong animals, and their presence in the lyrics can represent the inner strength and resilience that is needed to overcome challenges. The lines "A lion, yes I know, that we can, we're like an evil till the end" suggest that the listener is not alone in their fight and that others are also going through similar struggles.


The lyrics also seem to touch on themes of distance and separation, with lines like "Merely, so far away, you wore my tide away, you take my life away." The use of the word "merely" suggests that distance is just a temporary obstacle that can be overcome with the right mindset and determination.


Overall, "Don't give up" is a song that encourages listeners to keep pushing forward and to remain strong in the face of adversity.

C'est triste que cette artiste n'ait pas eu de persée dans le monde musical.

J'ai pu voir cette vidéo car j'ai Shazam (appli d'identification de musique, utilisable sur un smartphone pour scanner une musique que vous voulez savoir son titre, artiste, etc...) cette musique dans un magasin d'une ville dans une région campagnarde, c'est un miracle et un heureux hasard, depuis, je peux la réécouter.

Sinon je n'aurais jamais croisé le chemin de cette musique.

Combien d'artistes sont tombés aux oubliettes à cause du monde capitaliste, mais bon, internet donne une seconde vie à ces artistes et une possibilité, pour tout le monde, de se faire connaître.

Bonne chance, je pense à vous. :D
