Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Που θα σ' ανέβαζε στα αστέρια
Μα ήμουν τα χέρια να πιαστείσ και ν' ανεβείσ
Και αφού μου λεσ ότι δεν ήμουνα και τίποτα για σένα
Τώρα σαν τίποτα θ' ανάψω να με δεισ
Τώρα σαν τίποτα θ' ανάψω
Θα γίνω εγώ κανένασ και σαν κανένασ
Σαν αγρίμι σαν αέρασ
Και σαν κανένασ θα σου κλέβω λίγη αγάπη
Που αξίζει ο καθένασ
Θα γίνω εγώ
Εγώ δεν ήμουνα το γέλιο
Που θα στέρευε το δάκρυ
Μα ήμουν η άκρη απ' τα χείλη να πιαστείσ
Και αφού εσύ μετράσ τα σώματα που σμίξανε σαν λάθη
Εγώ τα λάθη μου τα καίω για να ζεισ
Εγώ τα λάθη μου τα καίω
These poignant lyrics from Kostas Makedonas's song "Kanenas" delve into themes of self-realization, identity, and resilience in the face of heartbreak. In the first stanza, the singer acknowledges that they were not the heavens that could elevate the listener to the stars, but rather the hands to hold onto and lift them up. Despite being told that they were nothing to the listener, the singer now vows to ignite as if they were nothing for the listener to see. This shift in perspective suggests a newfound resolve to embrace their worth and value, even if it means being perceived as insignificant.
The following stanza sees the singer proclaiming that they will become like no one, drifting through the streets like a wild creature or a passing breeze. As they adopt this identity of anonymity, they declare their intent to steal a bit of love from the listener, emphasizing that everyone deserves to experience love. This transformation into a "nobody" symbolizes a defiance against being dismissed or overlooked, instead choosing to assert their presence and claim a share of affection that is rightfully theirs.
Moving into the next part, the singer states that they were not the laughter that could dry up tears, but rather the edge of the lips to be grasped. Despite the listener tallying up the bodies that intertwined like mistakes, the singer reveals that they burn their own errors in order to live. This admission of self-reflection and accountability showcases a willingness to confront one's flaws and learn from them, illustrating a journey towards personal growth and resilience in the face of past regrets.
Overall, "Kanenas" encapsulates a narrative of empowerment, transformation, and self-acceptance. Through rich imagery and introspective lyrics, the song conveys a message of finding strength in vulnerability, embracing one's unique essence, and reclaiming agency in matters of the heart. The singer's evolution from a mere support to a bold presence challenges traditional notions of worth and purpose, ultimately asserting that even in moments of obscurity, one can shine brightly and assert their worth in love and life.
