Title: Bien Trop Simple (Much Too Simple) Artist: Joyce Jonathan "Bien Trop Simple" is a French song by Joyce Jonathan. The lyrics describe a complicated romantic situation involving three individuals. The song explores the themes of unrequited love, betrayal, and the simplicity of human emotions. The narrative revolves around three characters: the narrator, a person they admire, and the person the admired individual is interested in. The narrator begins by observing how the person they admire watches someone else walking, while they themselves watch the admired person. There is a constant exchange of glances between them. The lyrics express a sense of longing and despair as the narrator hopes for reciprocated feelings from the admired person. However, they also suspect that this person is only interested in them when it is convenient or in their best interest. The simplicity of this behavior is highlighted throughout the song. The narrator reflects on their own desperation and how the person they admire is searching for someone else. There is a feeling of invisibility that overtakes the narrator as the initial connection they shared starts to fade away. They continue to hope for something more, but the lyrics imply that the admired person will ultimately abandon them. Overall, "Bien Trop Simple" explores the complex dynamics of unrequited love and the disappointment that can arise from misplaced emotions. The song suggests that sometimes, relationships and emotions can be much too simple and easily misunderstood.
