Swept Away
Parra for Cuva & Anna Naklab Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not behind the scenes on the street
This shadow is broken
Swept away, swept away, swept away
You're on with your life
Not behind
Behind the scenes
The shadow is broken
Downstairs, the animals are dancing
Hmmmmmm
Hmmmmmm
You're on with your life
Not behind the scenes on the street
This shadow is broken
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 to Parra for Cuva & Anna Naklab's song "Swept Away" seem to convey a sense of freedom and liberation from past inhibitions. The repeated phrase "you're on with your life" emphasizes a break from the past and moving forward, while "not behind the scenes on the street" could imply leaving the previous life of being a bystander and stepping into the spotlight. The line "this shadow is broken" could also point to a moment of realization or breakthrough that has led to this newfound sense of freedom. The repetition of "swept away" reinforces this idea of leaving the past behind and being carried away by the moment.
The following lines about animals dancing could be interpreted in different ways. It could be a metaphorical expression of letting go and giving in to one's primal instincts or simply a fun, carefree moment of releasing inhibitions. The last lines of the chorus, "inviting some people, cheap trick, aligning your back, it's all to see, trust your body and your head," could be a call to action to embrace one's true self and trust their own instincts and abilities.
Overall, the lyrics of "Swept Away" suggest a desire for liberation, a break from past patterns and a willingness to embrace one's true self.

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.
