Gia Mena Tora Zo
Domna Kountouri Lyrics

The lyrics to Domna Kountouri's song "Gia Mena Tora Zo" express the idea of taking control of one's own life. The song speaks about the metaphorical oasis of the addressee's eyes that the singer has found and hidden deep within a desert, as though the addressee is the only source of respite in the singer's life. With each passing star, the singer's wishes will be erased by the addressee's love, which has reached the end of the sky and is all-consuming, stealing the singer's dreams created in the light. However, the singer proclaims that they will not surrender themselves to the addressee this night and will leave, no longer living for anyone else but themselves, and for what they have lost.

The lyrics also touch on the idea of betrayal, with the addressee's lips being referred to as a clever deception that always takes something from the singer. The singer speaks of never being told how love hides a thorn in its embrace, and they wait for the words that the addressee never says, feeling alone again. The singer then proclaims once again that they will not surrender themselves to the addressee and will instead begin living for themselves, reminiscing over what they have lost in the past.

Overall, the song speaks about finding strength within oneself, even when one feels alone and powerless. The singer encourages taking control of one's own life and living for oneself, rather than always living for the desires of others.
