CHILD
Ninet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't let go
imprisoned
Just like a child
Just like a child
Who's mom left
Imprisoned
Underneath a tree
Wooden-golden house
Sitting in the corner
Covering my eyes
Can't find the door
I over think and stop and think
I'm being
Reckless
Underneath a tree
Wooden-golden house
Sitting in the corner
Covering my eyes
In "Child", Ninet sings about feeling trapped and imprisoned, like a child whose mother has left them behind. The repetition of the lines "I can't let go" and "Just like a child" emphasizes her feelings of helplessness and vulnerability. The imagery of a wooden-golden house and a tree creates a sense of being stuck in one place, unable to move forward or find a way out.
The second verse describes the singer's struggle to escape her own thoughts and tendencies to overthink, which causes her to act recklessly. The repetition of the stanza depicting the wooden-golden house and the image of the singer covering her eyes suggests a desire to escape and not confront the reality of her situation.
Overall, the lyrics of "Child" suggest a feeling of being stuck in a difficult situation, a sense of hopelessness and longing for escape.

I can't let go
I am unable to move on
I can't let go
I am unable to move on
Just like a child
I feel like a small and vulnerable person
Just like a child
I feel like a small and vulnerable person
Who's mom left
Who has been abandoned by their mother
Imprisoned
Trapped and restrained
Underneath a tree
Sitting under the shade of a tree
Wooden-golden house
A charming and picturesque home
Sitting in the corner
Huddling in the corner
Covering my eyes
Shielding my eyes from the outside world
Can't find the door
Unable to locate the way out
I over think and stop and think
I think too much and then stop myself from taking action
I'm being
I am currently
Reckless
Acting without considering consequences
Underneath a tree
Sitting under the shade of a tree
Wooden-golden house
A charming and picturesque home
Sitting in the corner
Huddling in the corner
Covering my eyes
Shielding my eyes from the outside world

Agree with you... 100 % !... There are too many "so-called pop stars" that actually don't deserve their millions of views, while other amazing creative & audacious artists (like Ninet) stay quite ignored by international show business & blind Marketing Power.............
Please, People, learn to recognize and support true musicians, true creators... ! And don't listen or buy stupidly every "buzz production" that Big Media want you to eat.... Don't be sheep... !

מדהים שהיא בארץ כלום אבל מגיבים לה מכל העולם.
לא יודעים איך להכיל את האומנות שלה פה.. היא פשוט מוכשרת, לוקחת קצת מכל סגנון וממציאה סגנון ייחודי. שלא לדבר על הקליפ האדיר הזה..
@meir1114
+hellilosh עצוב . אבל צריך להבין שפשוט שונאים אותה פה . לגמרי . אין לה עתיד במדינת ישראל . אין לה . למרות שאני רוצה שתמשיך לשיר בעברית . חוץ כמובן מכמה ישראלים שכן די אוהבים אותה . מה שכן אני חייב להגיד . אולי השיתוף פעולה עם ווילסון די מחזק את נינט כזמרת רוק . אך על נינט יש קללה . שום דבר שתעשה לא יפתח לאנשים בארץ את העיניים או את הראש . תקועים בבועה מסוימת . לא מוכנים לשחרר
@user-ye4xl8yu3e
Just perfect. The scream of my soul
@meir1114
מוכשרת ומדהימה . גם אם לא יסכימו איתי ממציאה את עצמה מחדש ומפתיעה כל הזמן . אני עדיין מופתע מחדש שהבחורה הזאת היא אותה החיילת ששרה באודישן בכוכב נולד . היא הולכת עם מה שהיא מאמינה בו גם אם יראו בזה זיוף היא עושה את זה . דרך ייחודית. צריך לתת לה צלש על איך שהיא מצליחה לעמוד מכל הירידות והשנאה כלפיה בתקשורת ובכלל . אז אני באמת מקווה בשבילה שהיא תוכל להצליח באמת . גם אם לא אז לפחות היא עושה את זה שהיא שלמה עם עצמה

לפעמים בא לי למות משיבה טובה עם השירים של נינט.

I first heard this song back near when it came out when I was in the depths of a deep depression. Now I'm free and can shout!
