Melina Aslanidou Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ότι με ψάχνεις στα μπαράκια τα παλιά.
Τι να με θέλεις; τώρα που άρχισες να βγαίνεις
αργά απ' το σώμα μου και βασανιστικά.
Τι να με θέλεις; έμαθα πως επιμένεις
κάτι σπουδαίο για τους δυο μας να μου πεις.
Τι να με θέλεις; τώρα ότι και να θέλεις
Δεν έχω διεύθυνση, δεν έχω κινητό
δεν έχω στέκι σταθερό, δεν έχω μνήμη.
Τα σβησα όλα απ' το δίσκο το σκληρό
κι είπα αντίο σ' ένα όνειρο που σβήνει.
Τι να με θέλεις; έμαθα πως έχεις βάλει
γνωστούς και φίλους για να μάθεις πως περνώ.
Τι να με θέλεις; άρχισα να βγαίνω πάλι
να ξενυχτάω, να φλερτάρω και να ζω.
Δεν έχω διεύθυνση, δεν έχω κινητό
δεν έχω στέκι σταθερό, δεν έχω μνήμη.
Τα σβησα όλα απ' το δίσκο το σκληρό
κι είπα αντίο σ' ένα όνειρο που σβήνει.
The lyrics to Melina Aslanidou's song "Den Exo Dieuthinsi" reflect the feelings of someone who has moved on from a past relationship, but their ex-partner is still trying to reach out to them. The singer questions why her ex would want her, considering that she has moved on and started enjoying her life again. She declares that she has erased everything that reminded her of their relationship, including her address, phone number, and memories.
The second verse suggests that the ex-partner has been trying to track her down through mutual friends and acquaintances, hoping to find out how she is doing. The singer admits that she has also started going out again and enjoying life, but emphasizes that her ex will not find what they are looking for anymore. The chorus repeats the declaration that the singer has no contact information anymore and has erased her past, saying goodbye to a dream that is slowly fading away.
Overall, the lyrics of the song portray a sense of moving on, leaving the past behind and living life to the fullest. It emphasizes the importance of self-preservation and taking control of one's life after a difficult breakup.
