Superstarr
MC Solaar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Very superstitious, writing on the wall
Very superstitious, ladders bout' to fall
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past
When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way
Very superstitious, wash your face and hands
Rid me of the problem, do all that you can
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong
You don't wanna save me, sad is my song
When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way, yeh, yeh

Very superstitious, nothin' more to say
Very superstitious, the devil's on his way
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past




When you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer, superstition ain't the way, no, no, no

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of MC Solaar's song "Superstarr" speak to the danger and futility of believing in superstitious beliefs. The song begins with the singer declaring that people are "very superstitious," and then goes on to list a number of common superstitious beliefs, such as the idea that writing on the wall or breaking a mirror will bring bad luck. The song also touches on the idea that superstitions are often passed down from generation to generation, as the "thirteen month old baby" in the lyrics breaks a mirror and is therefore thought to bring bad luck for seven years.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the harm that believing in superstitions can do, stating that those who believe in things they don't understand will suffer as a result. The singer makes it clear that superstitions are not the way to live one's life and that people should strive to get rid of these beliefs and focus on what they can understand.


Overall, "Superstarr" is a powerful commentary on the dangers of superstitious beliefs and their negative impact on people's lives. It encourages listeners to let go of these beliefs and to live in a way that is rational and based on facts.

Mc Solaar c'est toute mon adolescence, content d'avoir grandi dans les années 90 avec un rappeur de ce calibre...rien avoir avec aujourd'hui.

c toi le meilleur mc ... voilà du vrai RAP certains devrais prendre exemple

Veronica Mars

Ce titre est dingue. Les paroles, le sous-texte, l'instru, les harmonies des chanteuses. Il n'y a rien à jeter.
Prenez le temps de lire le texte sans la musique, et de le décortiquer, c'est une pépite (comme tous les textes de MC Solaar)
Si vous cherchez à quoi fait référence le "16 de la Faisanderie, dans le 16ème à Paris", c'est l'adresse du musée de la contrefaçon. C'est tellement malin et novateur de le dire comme ça !
