Minun hymyni kirkastaa kasvosi
Synestesia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Se on huumeeni, heikkouteni.
Silti mennyt on mennyttä,
eletty aika, eilistä.
Seuraasi pelkään, mutten myönnä.
Valheeni verhon, kohta riisutkin.
Et näe, kuitenkaan.
Minun hymyni kirkastaa kasvosi,
ja katseeni surusi pyyhkii.
Se tunteesi osoittaa todeksi,
edes valheeni sinuun ei satu.
Olen alttarisi, kohde tunteidesi,
ja virheeni anteeksi annat.
Olet orjani, kohde kylmyyteni.
Ja vastuun virheistäin kannat.
Olen tunteeton, olen valheellinen,
olen kylmä ja harkitsevainen.
En pyydä sitä anteeksi,
etkä sitä kaipaakaan.
The lyrics of "Minun hymyni kirkastaa kasvosi" by Synestesia describe a complex relationship where the singer is weak in the presence of their companion, whose fiery emotions both scare and intoxicate them. The singer admits to being dishonest with their partner, but at the same time they feel that their smile and presence bring light into their life. The partner is portrayed as both a slave to the singer's whims and a source of coldness to their emotions. The singer is portrayed as emotionless, cold, and calculating, and they don't feel the need to apologize for it or to ask for forgiveness.
The overall tone of the lyrics is somewhat ambiguous, as the singer seems to both love and fear their partner. They admit to lying to them, but also crave their presence and the intensity of their emotions. The partner, on the other hand, is portrayed as a victim of the singer's manipulations, but also as the only person who can stir their emotions, good or bad. The singer seems to enjoy the power dynamic of the relationship, but at the same time they are aware of the harm they are causing.
Overall, "Minun hymyni kirkastaa kasvosi" is a song that explores the complex dynamics of a toxic relationship, where power, lies, and hidden feelings play a big role.
