Swept away
Parra for Cuva Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not behind the scenes on the street
This shadow is broken
Downstairs, the animals are dancing
You're on with your life
Not behind
Behind the scenes
On the street
Swept away
Swept away
Swept away
Inviting some people
Cheap trick
Aligning your back
It's all to, to see
Trust your body and your heads
The lyrics in Parra for Cuva's song Swept away seem to be about moving on with one's life and leaving behind any past shadows or obstacles. The phrase "you're on with your life" suggests a sense of determination and purpose. The mention of "behind the scenes" versus "on the street" could symbolize the difference between a private, hidden life versus a more public, exposed one. The "shadow" being broken could also represent overcoming personal struggles or dark moments in one's past.
The line "downstairs, the animals are dancing" is interesting as it could have several interpretations. It could be literal, with animals actually dancing below the singer, or it could be a metaphor for wild, uninhibited behavior or hedonism. The repetition of "swept away" in the chorus could also have multiple meanings, such as being swept away by a moment of passion or impulsiveness, or swept away from a negative situation.
The lyrics also mention "inviting some people" and "aligning your back," which could suggest the act of gathering supportive friends or allies and standing tall in the face of adversity. The final line, "trust your body and your heads," could be interpreted as a call to trust one's instincts and intelligence in pursuing a fulfilling life.

I discovered this song back in 2015-2016 when i was 17-18. Riding 5km to work at 5am along the busiest roads in South Australia. I had no intentions of ever chucking a sicky i loved that job. Id wake up yearning to hear parraforcuva and lost frequencies.. itd make the ride seem so quick and effortless. RIP The Past. Oh what id give to just relive 1 day of the past again knowing what i know now. Live your life, enjoy the moment youre in because youll never get to experience the same thing or feelings. 💙🩵💚🪐

What wonderful words! I am 60 years old. And I agree with you. Many times in life, I have tried to “enter the river for the second time,” as the Chinese say. But the past cannot be returned. All we can do is remember with sadness those beautiful moments and those people who will never be with us again and with whom we felt so good before. Live only today and now! Many times, I have essential things for the future. And the future may never come. Love yourself and life, friends. And this kind of music helps us feel young again and full of strength and hope....

To loose is part of life, too, make an adventurous story out of it, which inspires you for the rest of your life and also others. Don't give up hope, there will be better times coming around again, just keep your heart open. I wish you the very best❤❤❤❤❤🌍🌎🌏🪷💗

Out of curiosity, how DID you find this? It’s just that it’s so non-mainstream that so it’s interesting finding out how people find out about him.
