Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Φουντώνουν οι αυταπάτεσ σε θολά νερά
Έρχονται οι χειμώνεσ όταν δεν τουσ θεσ
Άγριεσ ανεμώνεσ κρύεσ θύελλεσ
Τι να πω για όσα είχα ονειρευτεί
Ήταν όλα ξένα πριν να 'ρθείσ εσύ
Τι να πω για όσα είναι ανείπωτα
Ίσωσ να με βγάλεισ απ' τη συννεφιά
Ίδια η απορία που θα σε κυνηγά
Ο, τι και ν' αγγίξεισ ό,τι και να δεισ
Μια θα σε προδώσει τρεισ θα τ' αρνηθείσ
Τι να πω για όσα είχα ονειρευτεί
Ήταν όλα ξένα πριν να 'ρθεισ εσύ
Τι να πω για όσα είναι ανείπωτα
Πόσα χρόνια φύγαν για ένα τίποτα
The lyrics of Filippos Pliatsikas's song "Aftapates Se Thola Nera" convey the struggles and disappointments of life. The first stanza speaks of the burden of many things that weigh down the person, emphasizing the overwhelming nature of self-deception in murky waters. It reflects a feeling of being trapped in illusions and false expectations, unable to escape the harshness of winter and the fierce storms it brings.
The following stanza expresses the singer's frustration with what they had dreamt of before the arrival of someone significant. The dreams were once foreign to them, but now they share them with this person. It highlights the paradoxical nature of dreams turning into something unspoken and unattainable, as if time has passed in vain.
The third stanza suggests the possibility that this person might save them from the clouds of confusion and doubt. However, it also acknowledges that the same doubt will haunt this person as well. It implies that no matter what they touch or see, something will betray them, and they will deny it three times.
Lastly, the chorus repeats the frustration and disappointment of the singer's dreams, which were foreign until the arrival of this person. It questions the significance of unspoken things and reflects on the years that have passed for nothing.
Overall, the lyrics portray a sense of disillusionment, the burden of unfulfilled dreams, and the questioning of the value of silence and time.
