Αργοπορημένοι.
Εκπρόθεσμοι.
Υιοθετημένοι.
Μαλακισμένοι.
Χριστός και Παναγιά.
Παράνομα ερωτευμένοι.
Ας πεθάνουμε όλοι μαζί.
Έτσι θα χει περισσότερη πλάκα. Τα χέρια του κάρφωναν. Τ

ον γέμιζαν πληγές.
Κάνανε χώρο για να εισέλθουν των άπιστων οι κραυγές.
Και όμως δεν πονάει ο άτιμος. Ονειρευόμουνα εκκλησίε
ς στις φωτιές να καίγονται
Και ήταν πανέμορφες.
Πάντα τα σύνορα χάραζα με φτυσιές.
Ο άπιστος. Δεν πονάει ο άπιστος. Μέρα. Όλο μέρα. Να σας μείνει μόνο
η νύχτα ρε.
Βρήκαν τα χέρια του Θεού τρία ευρώ το κομμάτι
Κάπου στην Ομόνοια. Δεν πονάει η Ομόνοια. Δεν πονάει. Δεν πονάει. Δεν πονά
ει. Δεν πονάει. Μόλις
πω "τώρα" να
Πιστέψουμε όλοι στον εμετό.
Μα καθώς ξερνάμε βλέπουμε οτι δε μας είναι αρκετό.
Γιατί δεν πονάει. Μου είπαν μεγάλωσε και υπάρχει σωτηρία μετά.
Μαχαίρια φτύνω στο σταυρό σας που δεν έχει φτερά.
Που δε μας θέλει καλά.
Που δε θέλει φτερά.
Δεν πονάει.
Ο άπιστος και ο άτιμος.

Να κλέβεις πάντα τον εαυτό σου.
Να συγχωρείς πάντα τον εφιάλτη σου.
Να ερωτεύεσαι μόνο στο μυαλό σου.
Να ονειρεύεσαι μόνο στον ύπνο σου.
Να μη ζεις περισσότερο απ' όσο σου αναλογεί.
Να μη γίνεσαι βάρος στην πρόοδό σου.
Να ξεφορτώνεσαι τα γερασμένα μέλη σου.
Να φροντίζεις πάντα την καρδιά σου

Και να εκφράζεσαι πάντα με το συνηθισμένο τρόπο
Και να είσαι για πάντα προφανής.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Boy's song Δεν πονάει (It doesn't hurt) are somewhat cryptic, but seem to revolve around themes of feeling lost and abandoned, while also questioning the role of religion and society in bringing meaning and purpose to life. The opening lines of the song suggest a sense of disillusionment and frustration, with phrases like "delayed, illegal, adopted" and "softened" implying a sense of displacement and alienation. The use of religious imagery like "Christ and Holy Mary" and the idea of being "illegally in love" add layers of complexity to the lyrics, questioning traditional notions of morality and the ways in which society imposes its values on individuals.

The chorus of the song, which repeatedly asserts "it doesn't hurt," adds to this sense of detachment and disassociation, as if the singer is trying to convince themselves that they are impervious to pain or disappointment. The verses that follow continue to explore themes of loss and emptiness, with lines like "dreaming of churches burning in the fires" and "I always marked borders with spitting" adding to the sense of nihilism and despair. The final lines, which suggest a kind of futile rebellion against societal norms and expectations, underscore the sense of existential dread that runs through the entire song.
