Dans cette chanson, l'auteur exprime une intense mélancolie face à la complexité de la vie. Il évoque des souvenirs nostalgiques, notamment des moments passés avec une personne chère, tout en se sentant perdu dans un monde difficile. L’accent est mis sur les réalités cruelles de l’existence, telles que la pauvreté et la guerre, symbolisées par des images frappantes, comme des enfants buvant de l'eau sale et des soldats. Le paysage libanais sert de toile de fond à cette réflexion, il représente à la fois un lieu de beauté et de souffrance. Les références aux cèdres et aux minarets soulignent une connexion entre la nature, la spiritualité et les luttes humaines. Au final, la chanson aborde des thèmes universels de quête de sens et d’appartenance, tout en racontant une histoire personnelle.
