Elli Kokkinou Lyrics

Σε πήραν από εδώ υπόγεια ρεύματα
Δε μου'δωσες γενναίες εξηγήσεις
Θαύματα τις νύχτες σου ξετύλιγα τα θαύματα
Αλλιώς τα είχες δει εσύ τα πράγματα
Κι ας είχα του θυμού τις αντιρρήσεις
Σε τρακάρω στ'όνειρό μου και σε μουσικές του δρόμου
Κάπου κάπου θα πονάς για μένα
Κι ας ανήκω στα τελειωμένα
Κάπου κάπου θα σε καίει κάτι
Σαν κι εμένα δε θα βρεις άλλη αγάπη
Ψέματα μου φαίνεται το φεύγω σου σαν ψέματα
Κι ας φύσαγε στα τελευταία βλέμματα
Βοριάς που μου'χε πάρει το τιμόνι
Κλείνομαι στο σπίτι σ'άλλον έρωτα δε δίνομαι
Στα κύματα σαν το χαρτί αφήνομαι
Δε φταίω η σιωπή σ'αποθεώνει
Σε τρακάρω στ'όνειρό μου και σε μουσικές του δρόμου
Με τους πόνους που με καίνε γράφω στίχους που σου λένε
Κάπου κάπου θα πονάς για μένα
Κι ας ανήκω στα τελειωμένα
Κάπου κάπου θα σε καίει κάτι
Σαν κι εμένα δε θα βρεις άλλη αγάπη
The lyrics to Elli Kokkinou's song "Kapou Kapou" express the pain and betrayal felt by the singer after a loved one leaves. The opening lines suggest that the person's departure feels like a lie, and the underground currents took them away. The singer feels cheated, as they were not given honest explanations and had to uncover the miracles in their nights alone. The person who left had a different perspective on things, despite the singer's reservations and objections.
The chorus illustrates the singer's emotional turmoil and the ways they try to cope with the pain. They collide with the person in their dreams and the music of the street, channeling their anguish into lyrics that reveal the truth. The repeated phrase "Kapou Kapou" (somewhere, somewhere) suggests that the person who left will also experience pain for their actions, even if the singer is seen as "finished" or past their prime. The singer believes that something will continue to haunt and torment the person who left, as they won't find another love like the singer's.
Overall, "Kapou Kapou" is a heartfelt song that captures the emotions of betrayal, loss, and the lingering impact of a failed relationship. It speaks to the universal experience of heartbreak and the hope that those who hurt us will eventually face the consequences of their actions.

Like me, you won't find another love
