Μεγάλωσα [Megalosa] [English translation]

I grew up

In the monster of the city I drunk a lot of fear, I drunk pollution,

I drunk lies

I swallowed fatty words

I slipped through my desire to learn

I tricked my thirst to see... why am I here?

Why am I here?

I grew up

With feelings of chemistry, with a style of giving and receiving

With looks of sympathy

and futile efforts to be good.

Us

This is not about us. We are different

We always talk about other things. Always talk about other people

We always talk about other people, that's how we keep the pain at bay,

that's how we forget.

I grew up

A monster of the family,

of pointless politeness, with a fake submission to others

A child actor in the role of an adult

I'm not talking to you about violence, I'm talking about rape

Living through your puberty means war

With a puberty like mud in the despicable city

Then a neurotic adult

We always talk about other things

We always talk about other people, that's how we keep the pain at bay,

that's how we forget.

I grew up

With Otenet for a mobile provider

Desserts from Pallette

Then at Silhouette

We cover the pains with food

The dreams crushed, depression later

Freak of my Ego, I audaciously cast myself away

Let's move on

Run away it hurts a lot

I spit on you, I kiss you

I'm not fond of you, however I do love you

Paranoia, intellect, surface

Land, we're on dry land

Tears... my hot tears

The pain gets mellower,

Tears my good tears,

Bio cleansing

We always talk about other things

We always talk about other people, that's how we keep the pain at bay,

that's how we forget.

I grew up

Love above all

And below zero, my subconscious,

Turns it's soil into mud

It recycles it's rotten fruits

I grew up

But the little child is crying

He doesn't know why this is his fault, he doesn't have anywhere to go

He's biting his nails and wets his bed sheets,

withdrawn for years now, in the depths of his manger

He totally deserves this! He totally deserves this!

his mother is shouting

She gives him milk

She tells his off

That's how she will be raising him from now on

We always talk about other people, that's how we keep the pain at bay,

that's how we forget.

Growing older means, pretending cowardly you know nothing

Living in absence

Rising to power

Learning how to smile

and how to prowl

Making decisions

Losing is forbidden

Growing older means,

you should be living with whatever makes you sick

Putting more roofs above your head

Taking out tones of garbage

Blaming the others

Watching morning TV shows

Listening carefully to the surveys

being bloodthirsty for news

Sayings Yes, also saying No

Getting used to porn

Fighting from the sofa

Not being able to survive without coffee

We always

talk about others

Growing older means,

Facing the overthrow

Being fooled by the times

Getting your brains flayed

Looking to snuggle up

and ending up finding oases in the psychoses of others,

that have in their surroundings,

faces similar to yours

Bent knees,

Forgotten dreams
