Tonem Lyrics Meaning

[Uvod: Dioni]
The singer is thinking about having the other person even for just a few seconds. They feel challenged by what the other person brings, and they know what they offer might not suit them. Still, they are searching for something bright and meaningful that could come from this connection.

[Strofa 1: Dioni]
Here, the singer talks about not wanting to hold someone out of habit or control. They don’t want to watch the other person slowly fade while staying stuck in chaos. Instead of keeping barriers, they try to hold on without a clear plan. They admit they are used to taking care of themselves, showing the tension between care and independence.

[Predrefren: Nina Todorović]
The singer can’t sleep because dreams feel false and confusing. They feel trapped in a shared pain that affects both people. Sinking into this emotional whirlpool is their way of protecting themselves, and they ask for space, telling the other person not to interfere while they navigate their feelings alone.

[Refren]
The chorus emphasizes needing space and distance while going through emotional struggles. The singer repeats that they want to be left alone while dealing with their feelings, showing that this is a personal journey. Being without the other person feels necessary to survive the intensity of their emotions.

[Strofa 2: Nina Todorović]
The singer reflects on the tension and unrest that exists between them. They recognize what is missing but know it can be found elsewhere. Ideals clash, and broken promises create a standstill. The verse captures disappointment and the reality of being stuck because of lies and unmet expectations.

[Most: Dioni]
This part repeats the idea of fleeting closeness and challenges in the relationship. The singer again expresses wanting to grasp something bright and meaningful, even if just briefly, while recognizing the mismatch between what they offer and what the other person needs.

[Predrefren: Nina Todorović]

The chorus returns, reinforcing the need for space and solitude during emotional pain. The repetition shows the importance of personal boundaries and the necessity of facing inner struggles alone, emphasizing that the singer can’t deal with the other person’s presence while trying to process their feelings.
