The song "Orpheus" by Gitarakuru tells a story of love and loss. The lyrics convey a sense of sadness and longing in the protagonist's life. The first verse talks about the protagonist's sorrowful life as they urge someone not to dwell on the past. They mention that they know the person loves someone else, but they are not envious or resentful. The protagonist then suggests reading their lips instead of looking into their eyes to understand their feelings. The second verse references splitting the sky and stars at their feet, indicating a grand gesture or sacrifice made for the person they love. The protagonist wonders if they were aware of their pursuit, following closely after the person they love. They express that everything can be understood by reading their lips, but eventually, they will leave by looking into their eyes. The protagonist concludes by stating that they will never give the person they love to anyone else. In the chorus, the protagonist expresses how meaningless and foolish everything feels when the person they love is not present. They promise to find a place for them in their lonely emptiness and mentions that they want to see them, offering warmth and light like a torch in the depths of hell. The protagonist urges the person to come with them, promising to protect them from others. They mention that their music holds a power over them until suddenly, like Orpheus, they couldn't resist the temptations and lost sight of the person they love. The bridge reveals that the person they love will no longer hear their songs, indicating a separation between them. The protagonist mentions that nymphs will mourn for a long time and they won't look at the calm sea anymore. Despite all the memories they have, they assure that they won't forget the person they love and will continue living with a smile, as they remain in their heart. The chorus is repeated again, emphasizing the protagonist's sadness and their determination not to give the person they love to anyone else. Overall, "Orpheus" narrates a bittersweet tale of unrequited love, longing, and the struggle to move on.
