I Don't Know
Erika (Sweden) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am not a baby anymore
I am not as innocent as before
I see it in the mirror, in my room
And I can feel it stronger in my soul
But I don't know if its the right day , for this word
Now I see things I didn't see before
I need an explanation, tell me more
Why I am in love now? I don't know

How can I live forever? I don't know
Where can I find Heaven? I don't know
What is going to happen? I don't know
Why I am in love now? I don't know

I don't know
I don't know
Why I am in love now? I don't know
Why I am in love now? I don't know

I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know

I live it through my diary, and I read
That all my little problems, now are free
I want to live my feelings day by day
I like to give emotions, in my way
But I don't know if its the right day, for this word
Now I see things I didn't see before
I need an explanation, tell me more
Why I am in love now? I don't know

How can I live forever? I don't know
Where can I find Heaven? I don't know
What is going to happen? I don't know
Why I am in love now? I don't know

I don't know




I don't know
Why I am in love now? I don't know

@@james0156 В Вашем ответе есть некое противоречие. Во-первых, тогда капитализм был ещё какой ! Во-вторых, нулевые были временем подъёма. И все ощущали, что понемногу жизнь идёт в лучшую сторону. А в настоящий момент, все видят, что 8 лет всё катится вниз. И внешюю политику к России с 14го года,, всякие санкции здесь всё время иметь постоянно(!) ввиду я считаю,
совсем не корректно! И хороший экономист вам об этом расскажет(мне Делягин нравится лично, но не навязываю, разумеется..)Я тогда был уже на третьем десятке лет. И помню, что становилось лучше. И в семье материально (говорю про себя!..) да и в обществе, и в мире вокруг. Были ожидания, которые во многом оправдывались. Люди стали срокойнее, добрее,что ли. Это было точно. И своих одноклассников бывших помню, которые с горящими глазами глазами более-менее хорошо зарабатывали, после голода 90-х. И надеялись ещё на большее.. как и я. Это было время подъёма и надежд в России.
Да, и, разумеется, внешний мир тоже был другим. Я много где побывал по молодости.
Да, и сейчас, я просто уверен, в России, капитализм гораздо более одичалый к обычному человеку чем в нулевых (достаточно припомнить дикий о всеоблемлющий аутсёрсинг , или доставку , к примеру Яндекса. Рабы! Такого раньше не было. И не стоит мне рассказывать про технологии. Это рабство ,и жажда наживы по максимуму), который эксплуатирует и грабит тупо обычных людей. ...
Что там за бугром(в Европе, ), на 100% сказать не могу. Но родственник, живущий там, говорит, что всё далеко не так плохо, как показывают наши каналы, которые по кабельному тв есть в той стране(есть наши федеральные). Не, я не хочу и не собираюсь туда ехать жить постоянно, или даже временно..(зачем?..)
Наверное, потому что, я слишком русский для этого. Мне там жить постоянно тяжело. Менталитет..
И ,поэтому ,я абсолютно не согласен, что трава была зеленее. Я был не "мальчик " уже. Ощущения от жизни и происхдящего были оптимистические. И, да, поэтому казалось, что трава была зеленее. Но дело было не в этом.
В нулевые мы жили лучше. Намного лучше..(у нас в семье. Не буду говорить за всех. Хотя никаким бизнесом мы не занимались).Практически все , кого я знаю, и хотели выбраться из образа жизни90-х,смогли это сделать. И я не лгу. Было больше возможностей..
Извините за столь длинное повествование..
