La chanson raconte l’histoire d’un homme né sans corps, rejeté par sa mère mais qui trouve du réconfort et sa voie dans la musique. Avec sa volonté et ses talents, il rêve de devenir célèbre, cherchant sa place dans le monde. Il affronte des défis, mais sa passion l’amène à réaliser son rêve, finissant par se produire devant un public, prouvant qu’il peut réussir malgré les obstacles. Le contexte évoqué dans la chanson montre un personnage marginal qui, malgré son apparente fragilité, parvient à se forger une identité et un succès grâce à son amour pour la musique. Son parcours nous rappelle l’importance de croire en soi et de ne jamais abandonner ses passions, même face à l'adversité.
