Sour Wine
King Raam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
سیگارتو، گوشه لبم جا بذار
آرام بشین، به ساعت کمتر نگاه کن
گرمای نفست، روی پوستم میزنه تپ تپ
تو توی فرودگاه تنها نشستی
اما منتظر هیچ کس نیستی و نمیشی
زجرم بده شاید بفهمی چقدر صبر دارم
گوش کن به من به چمدون تموم نمیشه
گرمای نفست نباشه، میمیرم کم کم
باز جیغ میزنی و مشتات تو دیوار
من میترسم چون می دونم که عاشقت میمونم
گوش کن به زوزه ام
به زوزه ام
These lyrics are from the song "Sour Wine" by King Raam. The song expresses emotions of longing and the struggle to maintain a sense of calm and patience in the face of heartache.
In the first verse, the singer encourages someone to remain calm and not worry. They suggest the person to let their cigarette linger on their lips, symbolizing a moment of pause and reflection. The singer also asks the person to sit calmly and avoid constantly checking the time, as the warmth of their breath subtly affects the singer's skin, which creates a sense of connection and desire.
The second verse describes a specific situation where the person is sitting alone at an airport. The singer acknowledges that the person is waiting for someone who is not present and might never arrive. This creates a feeling of longing and emptiness, as the person's expectations are not being met.
The chorus encourages the listener to remain calm and patient, comparing their state of being to a fine wine, specifically "Sour Wine." The singer suggests that enduring the pain might eventually lead to an understanding of the singer's patience. Despite the repetition of their pleas, the singer acknowledges that the listener's breath, their warmth and presence, is what the singer ultimately desires. This vulnerability is contrasted with the listener's acts of aggression, such as screaming and pounding fists against walls.
In the final line, the singer asks the listener to pay attention to their own turmoil, represented by the sound of their buzzing. This buzzing symbolizes an internal struggle, possibly caused by the pain and desire they feel for the listener. The repeated plea to listen suggests a deep desire for understanding and connection, even if it is rooted in pain and heartache.
Overall, these lyrics depict a complex emotional dynamic between the singer and the listener. The singer urges the listener to remain calm and patient while expressing their own vulnerability and longing. The repetition of certain lines emphasizes the singer's desperation for the listener's attention and understanding. Additionally, the specific imagery of cigarettes, airport waiting, and the warmth of breath add depth and intensity to the emotions conveyed in the song.
