Sway
Dmitry Evgrafov Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
bir daha gelir miyim bilmiyorum
farkındayım umurunda değil
artık bende takmıyorum
...
gidiyorum şimdi
arkama bile bakmıyorum
evet çok uzakta değil
ama kimse gelmez biliyorum
...
gidiyorum şimdi
hayallerime koşuyorum
yollar zor olsun fark etmez
ben gidiyorum
...
The lyrics of Dmitry Evgrafov's song "Sway" describe the feelings of someone who is leaving something behind and doesn't know if they'll come back. The opening lines "gidiyorum şimdi, bir daha gelir miyim bilmiyorum" translate to "I'm leaving now, I don't know if I'll come back." The speaker is aware that no one seems to care if they leave or not, and they've stopped caring themselves.
As the song continues, the speaker emphasizes that they're not even looking back as they leave. They know that they're not going too far away, but they're also certain that no one will come looking for them. The final lines reveal that the speaker is pursuing their dreams, even if the path to get there is difficult.
The song's repetitive melody reinforces the idea of someone steadily moving forward, even as they leave something familiar behind. The lyrics suggest a sense of self-determination and the belief that pursuing your own passions is more important than pleasing others or sticking to what's safe.

gidiyorum şimdi
I am leaving now
bir daha gelir miyim bilmiyorum
I do not know if I will come back again
farkındayım umurunda değil
I am aware, but it does not matter to you
artık bende takmıyorum
I do not care anymore
arkama bile bakmıyorum
I am not even looking back
evet çok uzakta değil
Yes, it is not very far
ama kimse gelmez biliyorum
But I know no one will come
hayallerime koşuyorum
I am running towards my dreams
yollar zor olsun fark etmez
I don't mind if the road is difficult
ben gidiyorum
I am leaving
