Δεν Έφταιγεν Ο Ίδιος (Den Eftegen O Idios)

Song Meaning

The lyrics open with a poignant justification: "It wasn't his fault." This sets a tone of resignation. Responsibility shifts to the overwhelming "era, burdens, conditions." It's a reflection on past choices, tinged with the weight of external forces. A core tension emerges between individual agency and external pressures. The narrator observes how "others suffered who then said yes" and ignored "the old ones' advice." Yet, there's a cynical twist: "Someone else is always to blame," suggesting a human tendency to deflect responsibility, even while acknowledging the harsh realities of the past.
