Dit Is Myne
Ray Dylan Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ek word wakker
Nog ‘n splint in my oog
Ek’s in die rug geskiet
Met wie se pyl en boog?

Dis ‘n wrede gevoel (Wrede gevoel)
Of was dit net ‘n droom?
Mag ek oor begin?

Dan ek begin ek weer skoon

Dit is myne
Dis my hart wat jy so tart
Dit is myne
Dis my siel wat jy verniel

Dit is myne
Dis my lewe dis my besluit
Dit is myne
Dis wie ek is

Ek is moeg gedra
Die wêreld raak soms so swaar
Daar’s ‘n knop in my keel
As u na my staar (Na my staar)

Dis die honger in my
Die honger van ‘n kind
Om stil te wees
Tot die waarheid my vind

Dit is myne
Dis my hart wat jy so tart
Dit is myne
Dis my siel wat jy verniel

Dit is myne
Dis my lewe dis my besluit
Dit is myne

Kyk ek staan hier
En dis donker om my
Ek’s gemartel
Met jou leuens en vreedheid

Dis ‘n wrede gevoel
Of was dit net ‘n droom?
Mag ek oor begin?
Dan begin ek weer skoon

Dit is myne
Dis my hart wat jy so tart
Dit is myne
Dis my siel wat jy verniel

Dit is myne
Dis my lewe dis my besluit

Dit is myne
Dis wie ek is

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ray Dylan's song Dit Is Myne translate to English as, "I wake up with a splinter in my eye, shot in the back. With whose arrow and bow? It's a cruel feeling or was it just a dream? Can I start over again? Then I start clean. This is mine. It's my heart that you torment like this. This is mine. It's my soul that you destroy. This is mine. It's my life, my decision. This is mine. This is who I am. I'm tired, the world sometimes becomes so heavy. There's a lump in my throat if you stare at me. It's the hunger within me, the hunger of a child. To be quiet until the truth finds me. Look, I'm standing here, and it's dark around me. I've been tortured by your lies and hypocrisy. It's a cruel feeling, or was it just a dream? Can I start over again? Then I start clean."

The song is about empowerment and owning one's identity despite the difficult experiences that come with it. The lyrics describe the pain and confusion inflicted by others, but the singer refuses to let those experiences define them. Instead, they claim their life, their choices, and their sense of self as their own.

Ek word wakker
I am waking up

Nog ‘n splint in my oog
I still have something in my eye

Ek’s in die rug geskiet
I have been shot in the back

Met wie se pyl en boog?
With whose arrow and bow?

Dis ‘n wrede gevoel (Wrede gevoel)
This is a cruel feeling

Of was dit net ‘n droom?
Or was it just a dream?

Mag ek oor begin?
May I start over?

Dan ek begin ek weer skoon
Then I start again clean

Dit is myne
This is mine

Dis my hart wat jy so tart
You are hurting my heart

Dit is myne
This is mine
