Feggaria
Stamatis Kraounakis Lyrics

The lyrics of Stamatis Kraounakis's song "Feggaria" depict a dark and melancholic atmosphere, where the moon rises and reigns over the streets' loves once again. The use of the moon, a recurrent symbol in poetry and songwriting, highlights the transience of love and life. In this case, the moon is seen as a symbol of both hope and despair, as it is responsible for bringing to light the ephemeral nature of the insects' lives, who only have one short moment to mate and perish. The shortness of the insects' lives is mirrored in the singer's despondency and anguish, who struggles to find meaning and purpose in life.

The second stanza delves even further into the singer's state of mind, confessing his love for someone and sinking into a crack, experiencing hopelessness and desperation. The mention of a beast's cry, which follows the verse, adds to the haunting mood of the song, suggesting an inner turmoil and a sense of being at the mercy of unchecked emotions. The singer's love is depicted as his only refuge in the midst of an abandoned and neglected world. The final lines of the song discuss a lost ark (harking back to the biblical story of Noah's Ark), an incomplete self, and a life viewed as fleeting as snow, thus conveying a sense of resignation and loss.
