Giorgos Tsalikis Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I poli nistagmeni ki isihi
Ke kapios trehi na ksefigi ap' ti skia tu
Ma niotho tin psihi anisihi
Ke hanome mes sto skotadi tis asfaltu

Ki olo leo pos tha figo
Na ksefigo
Ap' tis nihtas ton klio

Apo tu pathus su to makelio

Ma opos panta meno
Sa mia palia fotografia
Edo ke perimeno
Na mpis mes sti diki mu ti filosofia
Ma opos panta meno
Sa mia palia fotografia
Sa soma ipotagmeno
Na filakizome sto pathos su, sto pathos su Sofia

Ma opos panta meno
Sa mia palia fotografia
Edo ke perimeno
Na mpis mes sti diki mu ti filosofia
Ma opos panta meno
Sa mia palia fotografia
Sa soma ipotagmeno
Na filakizome sto pathos su, sto pathos su Sofia

Ta onira girnun paralita
Periplanieme se mian adia paralia
Ke mesa mu polla ke aplita
Provlimata ke mia krifi melagholia

Ki olo leo pos tha figo
Na ksefigo
Ap' tis nihtas ton klio
Apo tu pathus su to makelio

Ma opos panta meno
Sa mia palia fotografia
Edo ke perimeno
Na mpis mes sti diki mu ti filosofia
Ma opos panta meno
Sa mia palia fotografia
Sa soma ipotagmeno
Na filakizome sto pathos su, sto pathos su Sofia

Ma opos panta meno
Sa mia palia fotografia
Edo ke perimeno
Na mpis mes sti diki mu ti filosofia
Ma opos panta meno
Sa mia palia fotografia

Sa soma ipotagmeno
Na filakizome sto pathos su, sti trela su Sofia

The chorus of the song talks about a nostalgic feeling that the singer experiences. They feel as if they are living in a photograph taken a long time ago, waiting for someone to come to share their philosophy of life with. The feeling of being stuck in time is evident in the lyrics, as the singer describes how they are captive of their own passions and struggles. Despite all of it, they are determined to hold on and avoid getting lost in the chaos of their own mind.
