Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
אתה בראש שלי מעבירה ערוץ
בסימטאות של פלורנטין כל כך חשוך
והפחדים שלי שוב מתחילים לצוף
אז איך כולם מסתובבים כאילו כלום כאן לא קרה
אני עפה בלילות כמו איזה חץ בלי מטרה
ומחשבת שוב את המסלול מהתחלה
וחוזר אלי בסוף
כמו הגלים אל החוף
כמעט כמו אגרוף בתוך הפנים
אחרי שהצלחתי טיפה להשלים
שאתה לא החתן אני לא הכלה
נראה לי שאולי הייתה איזו תקלה
ואין כאן טכנאי שיסדר לי את הלב
תראה איך העולם שלי כולו מתפרק
אתה שחקן
פתאום אתה נזכר בי ואז שוב נעלם
כותב לי באמת, את הדבר הכי מושלם
ואיך אני קונה את המילים שאתה מוכר
וכמה זה עולה לי
איך תמיד אתה הולך
וחוזר אלי בסוף
כמו הגלים אל החוף
כמעט כמו אגרוף בתוך הפנים
אחרי שהצלחתי כמעט להחליט
שאתה לא החתן אני לא הכלה
נראה לי שאולי הייתה איזו תקלה
ואין כאן טכנאי שיסדר לי את הלב
תראה איך העולם שלי כולו מתפרק
איך תמיד אתה הולך
וחוזר אלי בסוף
כמו הגלים אל החוף
כמעט כמו אגרוף בתוך הפנים
אחרי שהצלחתי כמעט להחלים
אתה לא החתן אני לא הכלה
נראה לי שאולי הייתה איזו תקלה
ואין אף אחד שיסדר לי את הלב
תראה איך העולם שלי כולו מתפרק
The song "אגרוף" ("A Punch") by Eden Ben Zaken is about a complicated relationship between the singer and the person she is addressing in the lyrics. The singer is struggling with her feelings for this person; she is scared and uncertain, but at the same time, she is drawn to him, and she cannot let go. The lyrics convey a sense of confusion, frustration, and sadness. The singer feels like she is being pulled in different directions, and she cannot make sense of her emotions.
The chorus of the song talks about how this person keeps coming and going from her life, just like the waves on the shore. The metaphor of the punch in the face suggests that this person has hurt the singer in some way, but she still cannot help but be drawn to him, even though she knows deep down that he is not the one for her. The lyrics also touch on the theme of unrequited love; the singer realizes that she was never going to be the bride, and this person was never going to be the groom.
Overall, the song reflects the emotional turmoil that many people go through when they are in a complicated relationship, especially when they know that it is not healthy for them.

אז הנה שוב
So here I am again
אתה בראש שלי מעבירה ערוץ
You're still on my mind, occupying space
בסימטאות של פלורנטין כל כך חשוך
In the dark streets of Florentine
והפחדים שלי שוב מתחילים לצוף
And my fears start to surface again
אז איך כולם מסתובבים כאילו כלום כאן לא קרה
So how is everyone just wandering around as if nothing happened?
אני עפה בלילות כמו איזה חץ בלי מטרה
I'm aimlessly drifting at night
ומחשבת שוב את המסלול מהתחלה
And thinking about the route from the beginning again
כמעט כמו אגרוף בתוך הפנים
Almost like a punch in the face
אחרי שהצלחתי טיפה להשלים
After I managed to cope a bit
שאתה לא החתן אני לא הכלה
That you're not the groom and I'm not the bride
נראה לי שאולי הייתה איזו תקלה
Seems like there was some kind of mishap
ואין כאן טכנאי שיסדר לי את הלב
And there's no technician here to fix my heart
אתה שחקן
You're a player
פתאום אתה נזכר בי ואז שוב נעלם
Suddenly you remember me and then disappear again
כותב לי באמת, את הדבר הכי מושלם
You really write to me, the perfect thing
ואיך אני קונה את המילים שאתה מוכר
And how do I buy the words you're selling
ואין אף אחד שיסדר לי את הלב
And there's no one to fix my heart
תראה איך העולם שלי כולו מתפרק
See how my whole world is falling apart

Punch
So here it is again
You're in my head, I'm switching the channel
It's so dark in the alleys of Florentin
And my fears begin to float again
So how come everyone's walking around as if nothing happened
I'm flying in the nights like some aimless arrow
And recalculating the route from the beginning
How you always go
And come back to me in the end
Like the waves to the shore
Almost like a punch to the face
After I've managed to slightly accept
That you aren't the groom, I'm not the bride
I think maybe there was some error
And there's no technician who'll fix up my heart
Look at how my entire world falls apart
You're a player
Suddenly remembering me, and then vanishing again
Writing to me, "Truly, you're the most perfect thing."
And how I buy the words that you sell
And how much does that cost me
How you always go
And come back to me in the end
Like the waves to the shore
Almost like a punch to the face
After I've managed to almost decide
That you aren't the groom, I'm not the bride
I think maybe there was some error
And there's no technician who'll fix up my heart
Look at how my entire world falls apart
How you always go
And come back to me in the end
Like the waves to the shore
Almost like a punch to the face
After I've managed to almost heal
You aren't the groom, I'm not the bride
I think maybe there was some error
And there's no one who'll fix up my heart
Look at how my entire world falls apart
Again, you're in my head, I'm switching the channel
