Anyway
Alina Orlova Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

How can it be,
The sky is so blue,
When I am not anymore with you?

How can it be,
My face didn't change,
When there's no your eyes to gaze?

Did I lose or did I win

The sun's rising anyway.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Alina Orlova's song Anyway present the struggle of moving on from a lost love. The opening lines ask how the sky can still be blue despite the singer's pain of being separated from their significant other. The line "When I am not anymore with you?" speaks to the feeling of emptiness and loneliness that accompanies heartbreak.

The second verse delves into the physical impact of the separation. The singer questions how their face can remain unchanged when they no longer have the gaze of their loved one to admire them. This line highlights the way that romantic love can shape how we see ourselves and how we seek affirmation from our partners.

The final lines of the song express a bittersweet resignation to the situation. The question of whether the singer has "lost or won" is left open-ended, but it's clear that the sun will continue rising regardless of what happens in their love life. This can be interpreted as a commentary on the inevitable passage of time and the fact that life moves on, even when we are stuck in our own pain and heartbreak.

Line by Line Meaning

How can it be,
I am surprised and confused that

The sky is so blue,
the sky is still beautiful and bright

When I am not anymore with you?
despite the fact that I am no longer with you

How can it be,
I am surprised and confused that

My face didn't change,
my physical appearance remains the same

When there's no your eyes to gaze?
even though I cannot look into your eyes

Did I lose or did I win
I am unsure whether I succeeded or failed

The sun's rising anyway.
nevertheless, the sun continues to rise and life goes on
