Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Αυτό που ξύνει τις πληγές μου ακόμα
Κοίτα πως έγινε το γέλιο σου στάχτη
Και μουτζουρώνει της ζωής μου το χρώμα
Είπες κάποτε όλα θα αλλάξουν
Κι όμως ίδια έχουν μείνει ακόμα
Περιμένω τα φώτα να ανάψεις
Όμως μετά την πρώτη σκέψη
Κάτι αλλάζει
Κι αυτό που θες μ' αυτό που είμαι δεν ταιριάζει
Όμως μετά δίνω φωνή στον εαυτό μου
Ας μείνεις σκέψη τελικά και μυστικό μου
Πήρα στα χέρια μου παλιά γράμματά σου
Τόσες εικόνες κρυμμένες στις λέξεις
Και ψιθυρίζω κρυφά τ' όνομά σου
Τόσο σιγά να μπορείς να τ' αντέξεις
Όμως μετά την πρώτη σκέψη
Κάτι αλλάζει
Κι αυτό που θες μ' αυτό που είμαι δεν ταιριάζει
Όμως μετά δίνω φωνή στον εαυτό μου
Ας μείνεις σκέψη τελικά και μυστικό μου
Όμως μετά την πρώτη σκέψη
Κάτι αλλάζει
Κι αυτό που θες μ' αυτό που είμαι δεν ταιριάζει
Όμως μετά δίνω φωνή στον εαυτό μου
Ας μείνεις σκέψη τελικά και μυστικό μου
Είπες κάποτε όλα θα αλλάξουν
Κι όμως ίδια έχουν μείνει ακόμα
The lyrics of Melina Aslanidou's song "Omos Meta" (Όμως Μετά) speak about a failed relationship and the lingering pain that the singer still feels. The first verse describes seeing in the other person's eyes the thorn that still scratches their wounds and turns their laughter to ashes. This person's presence taints the color of the singer's life.
In the second verse, it is mentioned that they once believed that everything would change, but they have remained the same. The singer is waiting for a sign of change, for the other person to awaken their empty body. However, after the initial thought, something shifts, and the singer realizes that what the other person wants doesn't match who they are. Despite this realization, the singer gives voice to their own thoughts and decides to keep their longing and secret.
The third verse speaks of the singer holding old letters and discovering hidden images within the words. They whisper the other person's name quietly, hoping that they can handle it softly. The song repeats the chorus, emphasizing the conflicting desires and the singer's decision to express their own voice and remain a secret thought.
Overall, "Omos Meta" portrays the pain of a stagnant relationship where the singer yearns for change but realizes that their desires and who they truly are do not align with the other person. They decide to keep their longing and secret, acknowledging that despite wanting change, they also recognize the impossibility of it.

Είδα στα μάτια σου εκείνο τ' αγκάθι
I saw in your eyes that thorn
Αυτό που ξύνει τις πληγές μου ακόμα
That scratches my wounds still
Κοίτα πως έγινε το γέλιο σου στάχτη
Look how your laughter turned to ashes
Και μουτζουρώνει της ζωής μου το χρώμα
And stains the color of my life
Είπες κάποτε όλα θα αλλάξουν
You once said everything will change
Κι όμως ίδια έχουν μείνει ακόμα
Yet they have remained the same
Περιμένω τα φώτα να ανάψεις
I'm waiting for you to turn on the lights
Να ξυπνήσεις το άδειο μου σώμα
To awaken my empty body
Όμως μετά την πρώτη σκέψη
But after the first thought
Κάτι αλλάζει
Something changes
Κι αυτό που θες μ' αυτό που είμαι δεν ταιριάζει
And what you want doesn't fit with what I am
Όμως μετά δίνω φωνή στον εαυτό μου
But then I give voice to myself
Ας μείνεις σκέψη τελικά και μυστικό μου
Let you remain as a thought and my secret
Πήρα στα χέρια μου παλιά γράμματά σου
I took your old letters in my hands
Τόσες εικόνες κρυμμένες στις λέξεις
So many hidden images in the words
Και ψιθυρίζω κρυφά τ' όνομά σου
And secretly whisper your name
Τόσο σιγά να μπορείς να τ' αντέξεις
So softly that you can bear it
Είπες κάποτε όλα θα αλλάξουν
You once said everything will change
Κι όμως ίδια έχουν μείνει ακόμα
Yet they have remained the same
Όμως μετά την πρώτη σκέψη
But after the first thought
Κάτι αλλάζει
Something changes
Κι αυτό που θες μ' αυτό που είμαι δεν ταιριάζει
And what you want doesn't fit with what I am
Όμως μετά δίνω φωνή στον εαυτό μου
But then I give voice to myself
Ας μείνεις σκέψη τελικά και μυστικό μου
Let you remain as a thought and my secret
Όμως μετά την πρώτη σκέψη
But after the first thought
Κάτι αλλάζει
Something changes
Κι αυτό που θες μ' αυτό που είμαι δεν ταιριάζει
And what you want doesn't fit with what I am
Όμως μετά δίνω φωνή στον εαυτό μου
But then I give voice to myself
Ας μείνεις σκέψη τελικά και μυστικό μου
Let you remain as a thought and my secret
Είπες κάποτε όλα θα αλλάξουν
You once said everything will change
Κι όμως ίδια έχουν μείνει ακόμα
Yet they have remained the same
