Simple
Moussa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

C'était pourtant très simple
Pire qu'une évidence
J'ai pris un aller simple
Je connais pas la destination
On verra ou ça m'emmène
On verra si j'avais tort
On verra si j'avais tort

Quand je tombe à la renverse
À la petite cuillère tu me ramasses
Morceaux par morceaux
Comme à Mossoul, comme à Damas
La tête à l'envers
J'ai senti tourner le vent
Et je veux plus rien montrer devant
On verra bien si j'avais tort
À la fin tout s'effondre
Je veux la meilleure vie dans le meilleur des mondes
J'en ai déjà marre
Elle kiffe mes sons comme si j'étais déjà mort
J'ai marché pendant des heures (longtemps)
Au bout de la nuit j'ai cru qu'il ferait jour
Novlangue le Sud c'est le Nord
J'ai peur du succès
On verra bien si j'avais tort

C'était pourtant très simple
Pire qu'une évidence
J'ai pris un aller simple
Je connais pas la destination
On verra ou ça m'emmène

On verra si j'avais tort
On verra si j'avais tort

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Moussa's "Simple" express the singer's journey of self-discovery and the uncertainty that comes with it. The chorus repeats the lines "C'etait pourtant tres simple" and "Je connais pas la destination" which translates to "It was so simple" and "I don't know the destination," respectively, emphasizing the confusion and lack of direction Moussa is experiencing. He has taken a one-way trip and doesn't know where it will lead him.

In the second verse, Moussa describes a metaphorical fall, and how someone (presumably a lover) helps to pick him up again. He compares it to the destruction and rebuilding of Mossoul and Damas, two war-torn cities. He feels lost and disoriented, with his world turned upside down. Moussa is also afraid of success, which could either validate or contradict his current journey.

The lyrics of "Simple" are complex in their simplicity. They express the inner turmoil of someone who is trying to find their way in life, unsure of where they are going, but also unwilling to turn back. The song encourages listeners to embrace the unpredictability of life and to keep pushing forward despite the challenges.
