Karamela Lyrics – Biba

Karamela Lyrics Meaning

[Strofa 1:]
The singer describes a woman who looks as stunning as a model, someone who turns heads wherever she goes. He feels drawn to her, but not just because of her beauty—he prefers something more personal, like the scent of her hair over the expensive perfumes surrounding him. However, she causes him problems and makes questionable choices, swapping something strong and independent (a wolf) for something weaker and more conformist (sheep). He refuses to follow the crowd or be like everyone else, making it clear that he values individuality. He points out that while she wears designer brands, she still attracts the wrong kind of people, those who lack authenticity. Unlike her, he understands high society and flashy lifestyles, but he also sees through the fakeness of it all. Many women present themselves as glamorous, but in reality, they often end up lonely. As he walks alone through the city in the rain, he reflects on his journey—he never had to sell out his story, yet he still made money. The last lines emphasize his natural talent and purpose, comparing himself to a bird that was born to fly.

[Refren:]
The chorus emphasizes how scents trigger memories. The neighborhood he comes from has a distinctive smell—possibly referencing smoke, either from the environment or something more personal. Despite his success, he still remembers the fragrance of someone special, someone different from the rest. Her reserved and mysterious nature left a lasting impression on him, and even though he accepts the bare minimum in many things, her presence was something unforgettable.

[Strofa 2:]
The singer recalls a time when he stood in the rain with a friend, reflecting on his struggles. He wasn’t always rich; in the past, he couldn’t even afford luxury brands like Hugo Boss, let alone Louis Vuitton. Despite this, he was determined and fought hard for success. He remembers traveling by foot and bus while others had the privilege of being driven by their parents. Yet, despite these challenges, he ended up further than anyone expected. His perspective changed once he made it—now he moves between VIP sections, private jets, and luxury cars. However, even with this lifestyle, he feels disconnected. He doesn’t even turn on airplane mode when he flies, hinting at how fast-paced and overwhelming his life has become. Time passes so quickly, it feels like it’s cutting into his skin like razor blades. Meanwhile, his friends are either moving up in life or fading away like butterflies. A woman from his past reaches out, wanting to talk about their relationship, but he knows that sooner or later, karma will catch up to them both.

[Refren:]
Once again, the chorus brings back the idea of scents and memories. The smell of his neighborhood, the smoke in the air, and the unforgettable scent of someone special all come rushing back to him. She remains the most refined and intriguing person he has met, and even though he doesn’t ask for much in life, some things—like her presence—are irreplaceable.
