Sometimes
Parov Stelar feat. Anita Riegler Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wish my soul is cold as ice
Sometimes
I wish my eyes can′t see
Couldn't see, couldn′t see the truth
I saw you smiling
(...)
Candle cane
I saw you smiling
Standing
And I can hear your words
Sometimes
I wish my eyes can't see
Couldn't see, couldn′t see the truth
The lyrics to "Sometimes" by Parov Stelar feat. Anita Riegler evoke a sense of inner turmoil and confusion. The opening lines suggest a desire to be detached and indifferent, with the wish for a "soul as cold as ice". This may indicate a desire to avoid vulnerability and emotional pain, to shield oneself from the difficulties of life. The next lines express a wish to not see the truth, to avoid facing perhaps harsh realities or difficult truths that may be present. This could signify a fear of confronting one's own weaknesses or faults, or perhaps an attempt to avoid uncomfortable situations or emotions. The repeated refrain of "Sometimes I wish my eyes can't see", further reinforces this theme of avoidance and detachment.
The lines "I saw you smiling / Candle cane" suggest someone else's presence, perhaps a partner or friend, who may be bringing warmth and light to the singer's life. However, the continued repetition of "I wish my eyes can't see" creates a sense of tension and conflict within the singer, as they struggle to come to terms with their own desires and emotions. The final lines "Standing / And I can hear your words" suggest that the singer is present with the person in question, but still grappling with their own inner turmoil.
Overall, the lyrics to "Sometimes" offer a powerful reflection on the human experience of struggle and self-doubt, as well as the complexities of relationships and emotions.
