Atlantida x Koraci x Devet života x Kalaši (Medley) Lyrics Meaning

[Strofa – First part: Atlantida]
In this verse, the singer expresses the emotional conflict between wanting peace and the overwhelming pain of heartbreak. They scream out in frustration but go silent when asked about their lost love. The singer questions if the other person was ever truly happy or if the relationship even had meaning. There’s a sense of disillusionment, realizing that what seemed like a powerful love was nothing more than a myth, like the lost city of Atlantis. The singer also feels betrayed, acknowledging that the one they loved can’t admit the truth to themselves.

[Refren – First part: Atlantida]
The chorus reflects on how a once powerful love, full of passion and intensity, has vanished, just like Atlantis – lost and gone without a trace. The singer laments how quickly it all disappeared, comparing the love to something mythical that was once so real but ultimately faded into nothing.

[Strofa – Second part: Koraci]
Here, the singer confesses that the person they loved was both their greatest addiction and their ultimate source of pain. This person was everything to them—both poison and medicine. They’re still trying to erase the emotional impact, but it’s a losing battle, as they can’t breathe properly from the weight of it all. The singer wishes the other person a better life since they couldn’t protect or care for them as they should have.

[Strofa – Third part: Devet života]
In this short verse, the singer seems to give up, telling the other person that if there’s something better out there, they should go for it. There’s a resignation that whatever makes the other person happy is fine, even if it means parting ways, as the singer can no longer hold on to what’s been lost.

[Pred-Refren – Fourth part: Kalaši]
In this pre-chorus, the singer reflects on how the other person tries to numb their pain by drinking heavily during lonely nights. They drown their sorrows at bars, spending all their earnings on alcohol, hoping to forget their troubles. The singer overhears gossip and hears that others think this person is acting foolishly, like a “kalashi,” a term that suggests reckless behavior.

[Refren – Fourth part: Kalaši]
The repeated line emphasizes how rumors spread about the other person being a fool, someone who makes poor choices and throws away everything for fleeting moments of escape. The gossip paints the other person as someone who’s lost control, repeating the notion of them being foolish, reinforcing the idea that they are making self-destructive choices that are well-known by others.
