Me Katharo To Metopo
Kostas Makedonas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Με καθαρό το μέτωπο
και με την τσέπη άδεια
με βρήκαν αντιμέτωπο
τα πονηρά σημάδια
Μου λες, τα φράγκα είναι πολλά
Να βγω απ' την κρυψώνα
Να θάψω ότι αγαπώ
Ν' αλλάξω και εικόνα

Σε ποιον αιώνα να σε βρω
να κάνω κάτι άλλο στη ζωή μου
Σου χάρισα έναν εαυτό
μα όλοι πήραν κάτι απ' την ψυχή μου

Σαν το παιδί που σκάλωσε
στου χρόνου την παρτίδα
Η μοίρα μου με μάλωσε
πριν πέσω στην παγίδα
Πλειοψηφία του ενός
που ψάχνει εξαιρέσεις




Για τους πολλούς ένας τρελός
που είχες πει: μ' αρέσεις

Overall Meaning

In the song "Me Katharo To Metopo" by Kostas Makedonas, the lyrics express a sense of facing challenges and betrayals with a clear conscience and empty pockets. The singer feels confronted by deceitful signs and the pressure to give up what they love and change their image in order to escape a difficult situation. The mention of having a clear forehead implies facing difficulties head-on with honesty and integrity, even when others may not be trustworthy.


The lyrics further describe a feeling of being at a crossroads in life, wondering in which era or time period they will find themselves and contemplating making a change. The singer reflects on giving a part of themselves to someone, but feeling like others have taken something from their soul in return. This could symbolize feelings of being drained emotionally or feeling unreciprocated in their relationships or sacrifices.


The metaphor of a child stuck in a game of time suggests a feeling of being trapped or unable to move forward, while fate seems to be causing conflicts before falling into a trap. The mention of searching for exceptions in a majority, and being considered crazy by many for expressing affection, highlights the theme of feeling misunderstood or isolated in one's beliefs or actions. The singer seems to question societal norms and expectations, while also reflecting on the complexity of human connections and the consequences of vulnerability.


Overall, these lyrics convey a sense of inner turmoil, resilience, and the struggle to maintain authenticity in a world that may not always appreciate or understand it. The singer grapples with pressures to conform, sacrifices made for others, and the complexities of love and relationships. Through vivid imagery and poignant language, the song captures the emotional depth of navigating challenges, facing betrayals, and ultimately holding onto one's true self amidst adversity.
