SIMONE
Napkey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've never wanted to be the start of something new
But it seems that you've made your choice
You stayed here, you and your voice
You've never wanted to be the start of something new
I've never wanted to be that far away from you
But it seems that you've made your choice
You stayed here, you and your voice
You've never wanted to be the start of something new
You are belong those stars, now
You belong to the stars, now
You are belong those stars, now
You belong to the stars, now
I've never wanted to be that far away from you
You've never wanted to be the start of something new
But it seems that you've made your choice
You stayed here, you and your voice
You've never wanted to be the start of something new
I've never wanted to be that far away from you
You've never wanted to be the start of something new
The lyrics to the song "Simone" by Napkey appears to be a portrayal of two individuals who despite having had a connection, chose not to take their relationship to another level. The first stanza reveals that neither of them wanted to be the initiators of something new, possibly suggesting that fear, uncertainty or entrenched habits kept them from exploring their feelings for each other.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the person being referred to as "you" made the decision to stay put and pursue their career or passion, while the other party remained in a state of longing. The repetition of the lines "You've never wanted to be the start of something new" and "I've never wanted to be that far away from you" underscores the fact that both parties were aware of each other's feelings, but were powerless to change the situation.
Towards the end of the song, there is a sense of resignation and acceptance of the situation. The line "You belong to the stars now" could be interpreted as the recognition that the person being addressed has moved on to a higher plane, and is living the life they always wanted. The song winds down with a final repetition of the opening stanza, encapsulating the whole experience of living with unrequited love.
