Mamouna
Unlocking Love's Chains: Bryan Ferry's Mamouna Revealed
Lyrics
So you say
Expressing acknowledgment of a statement or perspective
You're living just for fun
Indicating a carefree or pleasure-driven lifestyle
Isn't it enough?
Raising the question if the current state of affairs is sufficient
So you say
Reiteration of the belief in living for enjoyment
You wait o will it come
Anticipation or expectation for something to happen
Isn't it enough?
Pondering if the anticipated event is satisfying
You a prisoner of loving
Describing a feeling of being confined by love
You're chained and bound
Emphasizing the constraints and limitations of love
I could never be the one
Rejecting the idea of being the chosen one in a romantic relationship
In the moonlight and the sun
Contrasting the romantic setting of moonlight with the practicality of sunlight
O Mamouna Mamouna run
Calling for someone named Mamouna to run, suggesting escape or freedom
You and me
Highlighting a contrast between two individuals
We're just like night and day
Comparing the differences between "night and day" in the personalities or situations
The here and now
Referring to the present moment
The ghost of yesterday
Acknowledging the lingering influence of past experiences
Hack and tear
Suggesting conflict or struggle with destructive elements
We're prisoners of loving
Reiterating the theme of feeling confined by love
We're chained and bound
Emphasizing the binding nature of love and its constraints
There's a road I've got to take
Expressing the existence of a necessary path or journey
A thread you got to break
Suggesting the need to break free from a connection or relationship
