Cemu Zivot Uci Me
Elitni Odredi
The Struggle for Happiness in a Harsh World
Elitni Odredi's song "Cemu Zivot Uci Me" delves deep into the emotional turmoil and existential questions faced by many individuals. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person waking up each day with a sense of dread and frustration, haunted by the negative experiences of the previous day. The recurring theme of sadness and the quest for better days is palpable, as the protagonist questions why life seems to be filled with so much pain and hardship. This sentiment is encapsulated in the lines, "Zashto u mom zhivotu sve je uvek tako tuzhno?" (Why is everything in my life always so sad?).
The song also touches on the feeling of isolation and the need for understanding and love. The protagonist expresses a deep yearning for someone who can comprehend their pain and offer genuine support. This is highlighted in the lines, "Kada ostanesh sam i kada dusha te zaboli / Sve shto treba tebi je da te neko voli" (When you are alone and your soul hurts / All you need is for someone to love you). The struggle to find such a person and the realization that few people truly appreciate or understand one's pain adds to the overall sense of despair.
Despite the overwhelming challenges, the song carries a message of resilience and hope. The protagonist vows to keep fighting, to rise above the difficulties, and to find happiness. This determination is evident in the lines, "Zhivim samo za to da vidim savrsene dane... / Mozhda jesam sam, ali uvek bicu uporan" (I live only to see perfect days... / Maybe I am alone, but I will always be persistent). The song concludes with a poignant acknowledgment of the pain but also a promise to continue striving for a better future, driven by love and the memory of those who have passed.
