Shababeek
Mohamed Mounir Lyrics

The lyrics of Mohamed Mounir's song Shababeek reflect the emotions of a person who is afraid and feels danger. The repetition of the phrase "بره الشبابيك غيوم بره الشبابيك مطر" (outside the windows there are clouds and rain) gives the impression that the character is looking outside and seeing the bad weather, but also can be interpreted metaphorically as a representation of the character's mood. The repetition of "مالي خايف" (why am I afraid) and "خايف خايف خايف" (afraid afraid afraid) creates a sense of anxiety and fear in the listener. The lyrics suggest that the character may have just left someone and is feeling unsure about their decision. The second verse reveals that the character did not express their concerns to the person when they left and is now regretting it.

The song's chorus "أنا خايف من ده فيا من الشكوة المدارية" (I am afraid of this in me, of the tropical complaint) adds to the sense of uncertainty and unease. The use of the term "tropical complaint" may refer to a physical illness, but can also be interpreted as emotional pain. The final repetition of the phrase "ده حزن ولا وتر ده قلب ولا حجر ده دمع ولا مطر" (is this sadness or a string instrument, is this a heart or a stone, is this a tear or rain) emphasizes the character's confusion and turmoil.
