Ego Ime Ta Paraloga
Glykeria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Όταν τον ήλιο στην καρδιά μου κουβαλάω
Έχει ο καιρόσ γυρίσματα
Και μέσα απ' τα προβλήματα
Θα ξαναβρώ τα βήματα πωσ να σταθώ
Είναι στιγμή μου κι άκρη μου
Το γέλιο και το δάκρυ μου
Είναι δικιά μου ιστορία είμαι εγώ
Εγώ είμαι τα παράλογα και τα λογικά
Εγώ διαλέγω σχέδια κόσμο υλικά
Εγώ το χτίζω τ' όνειρο μάτια μου γλυκά
Εγώ που ζω στα ψεύτικα κλαίω αληθινά
Δεν έχω λόγο το παράλογο να κρίνω
Έχω ευθύνη σ' ότι πιάνω σ' ότι αφήνω
Όρισα τη διάσταση
Κι αν παίζω στην παράσταση
Δε φταίει καμιά κατάσταση πωσ να στο πω
Είναι στιγμή μου κι άκρη μου
Το γέλιο και το δάκρυ μου
Είναι δικιά μου ιστορία είμαι εγώ
Εγώ είμαι τα παράλογα και τα λογικά
Εγώ διαλέγω σχέδια κόσμο υλικά
Εγώ το χτίζω τ' όνειρο μάτια μου γλυκά
Εγώ που ζω στα ψεύτικα κλαίω αληθινά
In Glykeria's song Ego Ime Ta Paraloga, she speaks about her identity and how she chooses to live her life on her own terms, without paying attention to how others may judge her. In the first verse, she sings, "I have no reason to look at the ugliness when I carry the sun in my heart." This line suggests that she chooses to focus on the positive aspects of her life, rather than dwelling on negativity. She recognizes that life has its ups and downs, but she believes that she will find her way through any problem.
In the chorus, she repeats the line, "I am the illogical and the logical," emphasizing her unique identity that cannot be defined by one trait or characteristic. She chooses her own path, following her dreams and ambitions, even if they may seem unconventional to others. She acknowledges that living in a world full of illusion can cause her to cry real tears, but she remains steadfast in her determination to live her life authentically.
In the second verse, Glykeria sings, "I have no reason to judge the illogical. I have responsibility for what I hold onto and what I let go." This line emphasizes her self-awareness and her agency in making choices that align with her values. She recognizes that she alone is responsible for her life and her decisions. Ultimately, the song asserts that one's identity should not be defined by societal norms or expectations, but rather by one's own individuality and the choices they make.

Δεν έχω λόγο την ασχήμια να κοιτάω
