ты Достала меня

Alexander Rybak's song 'ты Достала меня' (translated as 'You’ve Driven Me Crazy') is a raw and emotional portrayal of a man overwhelmed by an obsessive and unrelenting admirer. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that has spiraled out of control, with the protagonist feeling suffocated by the constant attention and demands of the other person. The song opens with the admirer deciding that they should be together, leading to a 'crazy game' initiated by the intense gaze of her eyes. This sets the stage for the relentless pursuit that follows.

The chorus is a desperate cry for freedom, with the protagonist pleading for the admirer to leave him alone. He expresses his frustration and fear, stating that her actions are driving him to the brink. The repetition of the phrase 'ты так достала меня' (you’ve driven me crazy) underscores the intensity of his feelings. He begs her to find another 'victim' and to dissolve into the background, highlighting the extent to which her presence has become unbearable. The lyrics also reveal the broader impact of her obsession, affecting his family and his current relationship, further emphasizing the destructive nature of her behavior.

Rybak's delivery of the song adds to its emotional weight, with his voice conveying a mix of anger, desperation, and exhaustion. The song's structure, with its repetitive and escalating pleas, mirrors the protagonist's growing sense of entrapment and urgency. 'ты Достала меня' is a powerful exploration of the darker side of love and obsession, capturing the turmoil and distress of being pursued by someone who refuses to let go. It serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of boundaries and the need for personal space in any relationship.
