Jos ovaj put

Oliver Dragojević's song 'Jos ovaj put' is a poignant farewell to a love that has lost its authenticity. The lyrics convey a deep sense of melancholy and resignation as the narrator prepares to leave a relationship that no longer brings joy or fulfillment. The repeated phrase 'Jos ovaj put' (Just this one more time) underscores the finality of the decision, as the narrator bids goodnight for the last time, uncertain of where the new day will take him.

The song is rich with metaphors and imagery, particularly in the lines 'Odlazim kroz sume sjevera' (I am leaving through the northern forests), which symbolize a journey into the unknown, away from a place where his soul does not belong. This metaphorical journey reflects the internal struggle of leaving behind a love that once meant everything but has now become a source of pain. The mention of 'moje note i moj svijet' (my notes and my world) not being in the partner's heart further emphasizes the disconnect and the realization that their love was not as genuine as he once believed.

Dragojević's soulful delivery and the emotive melody enhance the song's themes of loss and the search for true belonging. The line 'u tvojim grudima, ne kuca srce ratnika' (in your chest, there beats no warrior's heart) suggests that the partner lacks the courage or passion to fight for their love, making the narrator's departure inevitable. The song concludes with a sense of closure, as the narrator acknowledges that it is time to end the 'storija o falsoj ljubavi' (story of false love), and move on to find a more authentic connection.
