Maxeen Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was only 17
When I got my heart ripped clean
I was just a baby then

Love's so confusing
The scenes are amusing
I have to express how I feel

I was only 17
When I got my heart ripped clean
How can I forgive you that

Love's so confusing
The scenes are amusing
I have to express how I feel

One thing I know is true
I'll never replace you
A memory I rewind and play

Soleil

Love's so confusing
The scenes are amusing
I have to express how I feel

One thing I know is true

I'll never replace you
A memory I rewind and play

The chorus repeats the phrase "love's so confusing, the scenes are amusing," which expresses the mixed emotions and confusion that come with heartbreak. She also acknowledges that although she will never replace this past love in her heart, she holds onto memories and rewinds them like a tape. The title "Soleil" means "sun" in French, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for the hope and light that comes with a new day after a dark time.
