Елена Ристеска Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Od emocii i ludilo
Ne vi treba sesto setilo
Samo srce, sluh i adrenalin
Elena RISTESKA
Milioner
Nekade daleku si ti
Ni na nebo, ni na Zemja
Usni kako temno mastilo
Toa sto placam
Esen vo mene
Nemozam
Ima li kraj

The lyrics of Elena Risteska's "Welcome" are about the excitement of being in a new place, filled with emotions and madness. The singer welcomes the listeners to this world, saying that they don't need anything other than their heart, ears, and adrenaline to enjoy what's happening. The song makes references to Romeo and Juliet, emphasizing the intensity of the emotions that the singer is feeling. The line "Usni kako temno mastilo" ("Lips like dark ink") also adds to this sense of passion and desire.
Risteska's use of language is striking, as she combines modern slang (such as "ludilo") with references to classic literature (like Romeo and Juliet). There is a sense of urgency in the song's tone, which matches the high-energy beat. The use of numbers at the end (192) adds to this feeling; it's an arbitrary number that adds to the song's urgency and excitement.
Overall, "Welcome" is a song about living in the moment and enjoying all of the emotions that come with it, whether they're good or bad. It's a celebration of life and everything it has to offer.
