Periferija Lyrics Meaning

[Uvod]
The intro seems to reference someone named “Kela,” possibly a familiar figure or someone the artist knows, suggesting a casual or informal tone.

[Strofa 1]
This verse describes the tough environment the artist grew up in. Even when people see him, they immediately assume he’s involved in the street life. The artist contrasts the “industry” with the “street,” indicating he doesn’t follow mainstream paths but is deeply embedded in street culture. He mentions the rough neighborhood of Crni Cerak, where violence and crime are common, and it’s hard to live in hope. The streets are full of young people who get into trouble, with some resorting to stealing to survive. The verse emphasizes the harshness and cyclical nature of life in this environment, where people often get caught in legal or violent situations.

[Refren]
The chorus reflects on how nothing has changed since the artist’s childhood. It’s still the same every night: police raids, violence, and chaos in the wild outskirts of the city. Half of the people from his neighborhood end up in prison. It paints a picture of a place stuck in a repetitive, grim cycle, where life feels unchanging and full of struggles, and the system does nothing to break this vicious loop.

[Strofa 2]
In this verse, the artist focuses on the adults around him who grew up in poverty and continue to live with the same mindset. They’re not changing but adapting their methods to survive. The reference to “fourth graders” could hint at how they’re still stuck in a cycle of petty crime and survival tactics. The artist points out how everyone in the neighborhood gets by through little schemes, whether it’s switching phones or selling illegal substances. He also describes the futility of trying to escape this life, as everything revolves around quick fixes and immediate gratification. There’s a sense of inevitable downfall, as no one can break free from the cycle.

[Refren]
Once again, the chorus reinforces the feeling of stagnation. Despite all efforts and time passed, the same issues continue to plague the artist’s neighborhood—violence, police interventions, and imprisonment. It’s a snapshot of a community stuck in an endless loop, where change seems impossible.

[Završetak]
The outro again references “Kela,” implying some ongoing connection or reflection on the environment or people around the artist, maintaining the song’s conversational tone.
