Changer Lyrics in English GIMS
Trou d'souris literally translates to "mouse hole". It's a visually striking and unusual phrase that you wouldn't typically expect to find in a song.
In "Changer", GIMS uses this image to create a powerful contrast. He sings that he doesn't want an "empire" and would rather have his loved one's smile in a humble "trou d'souris", symbolizing his desire to trade wealth and fame for simple, genuine happiness.
“Changer” is GIMS’s late-night confession booth, set to music. The Congolese-French superstar drops the show-business mask and speaks directly to a loved one, admitting to lies, temptations, and the distance between his words and actions. Fame, money, and endless desires have pulled him away from family life, yet whenever darkness falls he sits alone, counts his flaws, and clings to a tiny spark of hope. In that stillness he promises himself one thing: I’m going to change.
Behind the catchy melody lies a universal struggle. GIMS shows how easy it is to lose yourself in success, to mistake enemies for friends, and to let greed “destroy the heart of others.” At the same time, he reminds us that self-awareness is the first step toward redemption. The song is both a heartfelt apology and a motivational anthem, inviting listeners to pause, reflect, and believe that transformation is always possible—even if it starts with nothing more than an “atom of hope” in the dark.
