Nous
Squidji Lyrics

The lyrics of Squidji's song "NOUS" convey a message of unity, support, and companionship amidst feelings of loneliness and isolation. The repetition of "Reste avec nous" (Stay with us) throughout the song serves as a plea for someone to stay connected and not detach themselves from the group or community they belong to. The urgency and repetition of this phrase suggest a deep desire for the person to remain present and engaged with the collective.

The lines "Et tu parais seule maintenant, mais tu parais seule maintenant" (And you seem alone now, but you seem alone now) reflect a sense of noticing the individual's perceived isolation and acknowledging it. The subsequent phrases emphasizing building a nation and believing in the collective ("J'pourrais bâtir une nation, mais crois en nous") suggest a longing for collaboration and togetherness to create something meaningful and enduring. The mention of "La vie qu'on mène" (The life we lead) underscores the shared experiences and journey that the group is on together.

As the lyrics progress, there is a shift in perspective from the singular to the plural, indicating a transition from individual solitude to collective solidarity. The lines "Tu n'es plus la seule maintenant, tu n'es plus le seul maintenant" (You are no longer alone now, you are no longer alone now) convey a sense of inclusion and reassurance that everyone is in this together. The repeated call to "Hold my hand" further reinforces the theme of support, connection, and offering a helping hand to those who may feel lost or disconnected.

The closing lines of the song bring the message full circle, urging the individual to stay with the group despite any feelings of isolation or disconnection. The repetition of "Tu n'es plus la seule maintenant, tu n'es plus le seul maintenant, reste avec nous" (You are no longer alone now, you are no longer alone now, stay with us) is a final call for unity and solidarity. The overarching sentiment of the song is one of understanding, empathy, and the importance of staying connected with others in times of need.
