Okeani Lyrics Meaning

[Строфа 1: Next Time]
In this opening verse, the singer expresses a deep yearning for his Balkan roots and the pain of separation from his homeland. He speaks of his nostalgia, describing Macedonia as deeply embedded in his heart, while feeling as though life has become a form of imprisonment. Sitting in a bar, he drinks to cope with the sadness of leaving loved ones and longs to see his family and embrace his brothers. His homeland is more than a place—it’s a part of him, and he feels a profound loss in leaving it behind.

[Рeфрeн: Slatkaristika & Next Time]
In the chorus, the singer shares the loneliness and disconnection he feels abroad. He describes his journey across oceans for financial gain, feeling like a fragile paper boat that could sink at any moment. Away from home, there’s no one to care for him or ask if he’s safe. The pursuit of money in a foreign land may offer opportunity, but it leaves him feeling adrift and isolated, with no sense of belonging.

[Строфа 2: Slatkaristika]
Here, the singer reflects on how money cannot fill the emptiness in his soul. This emotional void, he feels, is beyond material comfort. He realizes that only one place can truly offer him unconditional love and support—his home. Although he needs money, he misses the warmth and the familiar presence of his old friends and family, longing for their encouragement. If he falls, there’s no one to help him get up in this foreign place, and he yearns to return home, where he’s valued beyond his financial worth.

[Рeфрeн: Slatkaristika & Next Time]
The chorus repeats, emphasizing the hardship of living far from home. He’s journeyed across seas, enticed by life’s promise, yet he feels fragile, like an origami boat destined to sink under the weight of his struggles. There’s no one in this foreign land to wait for him, check in, or care for his well-being. The emotional toll of being away from his roots and loved ones underscores the isolation he endures.
