New Soul
Yael Naďm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit 'bout how to give and take
But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake
La, la, la, la
Hoping I could learn a bit 'bout what is true and fake
But why all this hate? try to communicate
Finding trust and love is not always easy to make
La, la, la, la
This is a happy end
Cause you don't understand
Everything you have done
Why's everything so wrong
This is a happy end
Come and give me your hand
I'll take you far away
I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping to learn a bit 'bout how to give and take
But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake
New soul (la, la, la, la,)
In this very strange world
Every possible mistake
Possible mistake
Every possible mistake
Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes
Yael Naïm’s “New Soul” is a reflective and introspective song that embodies the idea of a person’s search for self-discovery in a world full of uncertainty. The first verse communicates the singer’s desire to learn about the world and all it has to offer, including the act of giving and taking. As she progresses through the song, she comes to realize that life is a constant learning process filled with both joy and fear. She realizes that she is not perfect and that she has made mistakes that she must learn from to become a better person. This is evident in the repetition of the phrase "every possible mistake" in the choruses.
As the song progresses, the singer communicates her frustrations at the world’s imperfections, as she comes across hate and deceit, making it difficult to trust and love others. However, the song ends on a hopeful note with the lyrics: “This is a happy ending. Come and give me your hand, I'll take you far away.” The singer has discovered her identity and is ready to help others find theirs.
The song’s lyrics communicate a message of self-awareness, self-reflection, and self-discovery, and it teaches us that life is a journey full of both joy and fear, and we must embrace both to truly learn and grow.
