Eros
Khonya Lyrics

In "Eros" by Khonya, the lyrics revolve around a deep longing and admiration for someone. The song begins with self-reflection, as the singer questions their own existence by asking "Man kojam?" which translates to "Where am I?" This line sets the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer explores their feelings towards the person they address as "mooye to," meaning "your scent."

The lyrics continue to describe the allure and impact this person has on the singer. Phrases like "Daryaii sabz" (green sea) and "Hasel az chashmane tiz e to" (captivated by your sharp gaze) imply that this person possesses a captivating and vibrant aura. The singer finds themselves lost within this person's essence, as expressed in lines such as "Man gom shodam toye jangale gise to" (I got lost in your messy forest). The intoxicating effect this individual has on the singer is evident in the line "Madhoosho mast az booye khoshe atre to" (intoxicated by the fragrance of your essence).

The chorus speaks directly to the impact of the person's voice. The lyrics state, "Sedaye to tanine khooneye mane, Jaye change man roye divar zakhm mizane" (Your voice is the echo of my home, it wounds the walls where I dwell). This portrays both the influence and vulnerability that the singer feels in the presence of this person. The chorus also alludes to the power of the person's image, as they wonder who this "divune" (crazy) person is that the personification of their laughter reflects in the mirror.

The final lines express the singer's longing for the person, wishing they had met them sooner and yearning for a deeper connection. The lyrics convey the sense that the singer feels incomplete without the person, describing themselves as a "khonyagar e bedune avaz" (a singer without a voice) and a "sahargahe khali bedune to" (an empty sound without you).
