Violines
Volovan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Despertar, sin dormir
Salir a pasear, en el mismo lugar
Donde he vivido yo, no hay nadie
Que salga de aquí
Na na na na na
Llévame a donde tú puedas dormir
Con tranquilidad y nunca despertar
En el mismo lugar sin ti
Con tranquilidad y nunca despertar
En el mismo lugar sin ti
Nunca me des motivos para pensar así
Na na na na na
The lyrics to Volovan's song Violines seem to speak of a feeling of being stagnant, of not going anywhere, even while walking. The singer talks about waking up without having slept, suggesting perhaps a sense of restlessness or unease. They mention going for a walk but finding that there is no one else around to share the experience with. The repetitive "na na na na na" seems to emphasize a feeling of being stuck in a rut, of not being able to express their feelings in words.
However, there is a shift towards the end of the song, as the singer implores someone to "wake them up" to a world where they can run and find peace in sleep. There is a sense of longing for someone to take them away from their current situation, to a place where they can find rest and tranquility. The "same place without you" seems to suggest that this person is missing from the singer's life, and that their presence would make all the difference in the world.
