Song Meaning of “Moyen moyenne” by Max Boublil
Moyen moyenne is a French song from singer-songwriter Max Boublil about the feeling of being average or ‘normal’. The song talks about how Boublil’s life is quite typical; he has a regular born-in-France wife, a job in an old-fashioned office, and an house in the suburbs. He’s not the most successful or remarkable person, but he goes through life with a consistent attitude and try to be positive. In the song, he mentioned frustrations like everyone does and describes how difficult it is to deal with them even though his life is not particularly adventurous. He laments that no one is particularly impressed with him but at the same time he embraces what makes him an average person.
Despite his average existence, he suggests that his life should be appreciated by others. Despite the average feeling of his life, he states that ‘normal life’ can be satisfying when accepting that he is not the most remarkable person and by simply appreciating the routine experiences. The song is ultimately an ode to contentment in the mundanity of life and the idea that even if you’re not the most interesting or remarkable person, there can still be joy in the ordinary things.
