LELET ARAQ – ليلة أرق Lyrics Meaning

[المقدمة: دُنيا وائل ومروان موسى]
We all feel the same things, but in different ways. The journey doesn’t always go in the same order. There’s a phase where we bargain with ourselves, trying to remember. The repeated phrase “Leily ya Leil” expresses a deep feeling of emotional struggle and a desire to speak from the heart, reflecting on sleepless nights and overwhelming thoughts.

[المقطع الأول: مروان موسى]
The artist talks about how time has passed and how people change, questioning who is keeping track of the score in life. He wonders if the problems in his life are due to a tailor’s or doctor’s mistake. He describes how the present is harder than expected, and how time used to feel different. He recalls a time when he felt like royalty, but now it all seems forgotten. He emphasizes how he paid a heavy price for his actions. Surrounded by negative influences, he learned to fight back. There’s a sense of regret, questioning the lack of change, and the frustration of limited emotional space from others.

[جسر: مروان موسى]
After years of hard work, the artist feels stuck, as though his life has ended before he had a chance to start fresh. He compares it to opening a book only to find the last page already written. There’s a feeling of confusion, as if he’s trapped in the same cycle, unable to find a way out.

[اللازمة: مروان موسى]
The artist expresses a desire to take someone to another world, away from the struggles. He’s willing to pay any price to relive the memories they shared. He questions if she remembers the past or has forgotten it. He reflects on the bittersweet memories that still hurt, acknowledging how much time has passed and all they’ve been through.

[المقطع الثاني: مروان موسى]
Life has moved fast, and the artist reflects on how much he has changed. He mentions his old self, who was carefree but now feels different. Wearing red, he feels like the accused in a trial, questioning his past actions. He says kindness seems rare now, and maybe his love was a mistake. He’s been through more than he expected, climbing to reach something unattainable, but always forgetting something important. He realizes that fate is ironic, and past anger has died along with regrets. He admits to making many mistakes but insists he never neglected responsibility. He questions if he did enough, possibly lying to himself, but still wonders if the difference between him and others is real or just an illusion. He imagines what could have been if he had what he wanted, but still feels uncertain about his past choices.

[اللازمة: مروان موسى]
The artist again refers to his longing to take someone away from the struggles, wanting to relive the past memories. He reflects on how the bitterness of those memories still affects them, and how much time has passed while they both experienced so much together.

It’s okay to not be okay.
