Τελικά Ποιός Φτάιει | Telika Poios Ftaiei (Who’s to Blame)
Music & Lyrics*: Yannis Fyssas
*Greek Lyrics: Based on poetry written by Dimitris Fyssas & a Greek social media meme (author unknown).

I don't know my neighborhood no more
No familiar faces wandering 'round,
Old friend’s homes have fallen
Like whispers lost, no one to be found.

Concrete stacks, these they call houses,
Is it excess or euphemism they sell
Apartments that will always be
Horizontally fractured disintegrating shells.

Common spaces, balconies, and guards,
Neither you nor I were in these cards
Who’s to blame

The one who speaks the lies,
Or the one who believes the song
The one who supposedly kills you
Or you, who hands over your knife
In the end, tell me
Who's the one to blame

A knight, a lone duelist I've become
The minstrel of old houses' song
The youth of lost friends, a fading hum
Your memory's compass, leading me along.

Our story is fading, lost to the past
Great words spoken and erased, like ghosts they depart
Places and people forgotten, memories recast
Even guilt itself is gone, we’re drifting apart.

We are like a paining’s nail, a mark left on the wall
Before a new layer of paint covers it all
Who's to blame for this tragic fall

Τελικά Ποιός Φτάιει

Δέ ξέρω πιά τη γειτονιά μου
Δε τριγυρνούν γνωστοί
Πέσαν των φίλων μου τα σπίτια
Και χάθηκαν κι αυτοί.

Σπίτια λέν τις πολυκατοικίες
Ακρισία ή ευφημισμός
Διαμερίσματα που θα 'ναι πάντα
Οριζόντιος διαμελισμός.

Κοινόχρηστα, μπαλκόνια και θυρωροί τους
Εσύ και 'γω δεν είμασταν γι αυτά.
Ποιός φταίει

Αυτός που λέει τα ψεματα
Η αυτός που τα πιστευει
Αυτός που δήθεν σε σκοτώνει
Η εσύ που δίνεις το μαχαίρι
Τελικά, τελικά ποιός φταίει

'Εγινα ιππότης μονομάχος
Των παλιών σπιτιών ο αοιδός
Των χαμένων φίλων η νεότης
Της μνήμης σου ο πλοηγός.

Τά δικά μας τώρα ξεθωριάζουν
Μεγάλες λέξεις έσβησαν εχθές
Μας ξεχάσαν τόποι και ανθρώποι
Δεν έχουν νόημα καν οι ενοχές.

Σημάδι σαν του πίνακα στον τοίχο
Πριν έρθει νέο στρώμα της μπογιάς
Ποιός φταίει
