Petra
Alex Sid Lyrics

These lyrics are from the song "Petra" by Alex Sid. The song seems to explore themes of feeling lost and detached from oneself, as well as a desire for change and transformation.

The first verse, "Μου φαίνεται σαν ψέμα, Αλλού με πάει το ρέμα, Κι η όχθη που με βγάζει, Δεν μου μοιάζει" can be interpreted as the singer feeling as though their current reality or path does not align with their true self. They feel like they are being carried away by the flow of life, but the shore they end up on doesn't feel like where they belong.

The next lines, "Με πήρε το ποτάμι, Κι η άδεια μου η παλάμη, Το χέρι σου έχει χάσει, Πριν βραδιάσει" suggest a loss or separation from someone or something important. The singer feels like they have been taken away by the river of life, but they have lost their grip on whatever used to define them or bring them comfort. This loss occurred before the darkness of the night.

The chorus, "Πέτρα έχω στην καρδιά, Ρίχ'τη στη φωτιά, Στο καμίνι, Μαύρη πέτρα κάψε την αν θεσ, Σώσε με και δεσ, Τι θα μείνει, Μόνο σκόνη και ατμόσ," is a plea from the singer to release the heavy stone (representing their burdens or unresolved emotions) burning inside their heart into the fire. They ask for the black stone to be burned if it will save them and bind them. The singer seems to imply that if this transformation doesn't occur, all that will remain is dust and vapor, symbolizing a state of emptiness or insignificance.

The second verse, "Τα σύννεφα πυκνώσαν, Τα τείχη με κυκλώσαν, Κι οι μαύρεσ οι φτερούγεσ, Οι καινούριεσ, Στο σώμα μου δεμένεσ, Και για τον ήλιο ξένεσ, Να τά 'παιρνα όλα πίσω, Και να ζήσω," suggests an overwhelming sense of being surrounded and trapped by dark and unfamiliar forces. The singer feels caged by unfamiliar and black wings, which appear to represent negativity or oppression. They are tied to this darkness, disconnected from the sun and longing to reclaim and recreate their life.

Overall, "Petra" by Alex Sid appears to be a deeply introspective and emotive exploration of feeling lost, detached, and burdened. The lyrics express a desire for transformation and release from these burdens, with the hope of finding a new sense of purpose and meaning.
