Alogia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shvatis gde smo i ko smo sada mi.
Da li nas priroda obmanjuje I sve je igra
Ili smo, ipak, deo nje?
Zasto svaka prica ima kraj,
Da li postoji druga sansa il' me vara osecaj.
Da li smo daleko od vecnosti il' ne vidimo
Dok vreme brzo prolazi, pitas se gde smo sada mi,
da li smo deo vecnosti...
I kada jednom dodje kraj,
ti nikad neces moci,znaj,da budes blizi istini!
Da li neko odozgo vidi sve,
Da li smo I mi deo igre njegove...
Zasto nam daje da se mucimo, da verujemo
Da nikad nece doci kraj?
Dok vreme brzo prolazi, pitas se gde smo sada mi,
da li smo deo vecnosti...
I kada jednom dodje kraj,
ti nikad neces moci,znaj,da budes blizi istini!
The lyrics of Alogia's song "Igra" ("The Game" in English) invite the listener to reflect on the meaning of life and our place in the universe. The opening lines suggest that one day, when all days have passed, we will finally understand who we are and where we have been. However, the ambiguity of the next line - "Does nature deceive us and everything is a game, or are we, after all, part of it?" - creates a tension between the idea of life as an illusion, and the possibility that there is a deeper truth that we have not yet grasped.
The second verse explores the concept of endings and new beginnings. The singer wonders if there is a second chance, if the feeling of closure is just an illusion, and if eternity is closer than we think. The chorus repeats the questions about our place in the world and suggests that time is passing quickly as we search for answers. The final verse introduces the idea of a higher power, someone who may be pulling the strings of the game we are playing. The song ends on a note of uncertainty, with the singer confessing that there might never be a definitive answer to the question of what the game is all about.
