Ti
Colonia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Još jedna beskrajna noć, ti i ja u polumraku sobe
I pitam se da li znaš kuda nas ove tvoje riječi vode
Uvijek si bio samo loš glumac, uvijek su laži odavale te
Al' ovog puta me slušaj, nešto za kraj od mene

Ti si moja najveća greška
Poraz koji ne priznajem
Ti si lutak kamenog srca

Spusti glavu i sakrij se

Ti si moja najveća greška
Poraz koji ne poznajem
Za tebe ljubav je samo igra
Spusti glavu i sakrij se

Još jednom nije ti jasno
Da tvoje glupe fraze više ne vrijede
Sva moja vjerovanja u tebe već odavno blijede

Uvijek si bio samo loš glumac, uvijek su laži odavale te
I ovog puta ako nisi me čuo, nešto za kraj od mene

Ti si moja najveća greška
Poraz koji ne priznajem
Ti si lutak kamenog srca
Spusti glavu i sakrij se

Ti si moja najveća greška
Poraz koji ne poznajem

Za tebe ljubav je samo igra
Spusti glavu i sakrij se

Overall Meaning

The song "Ti" by Colonia is a powerful breakup song that expresses the feelings of disappointment and betrayal that come with the end of a relationship. The lyrics describe a scene where the singer and the person they're addressing are alone in a dark room, and the singer is questioning where the other person's words are leading them. The singer acknowledges that the other person has always been a bad actor, with lies giving them away, but this time the singer's words will be the last the other person will hear.

The chorus drives home the point of the song, with the singer telling the person that they are their biggest mistake, a defeat that they refuse to acknowledge. The other person is described as a puppet with a heart of stone, who only sees love as a game. The singer laments how their beliefs in the other person have long faded away, and now that they're done hearing the other person's empty promises, they have something to say.

Overall, "Ti" is a powerful and evocative song that speaks to anyone who has been hurt by a relationship that didn't live up to their expectations. The lyrics are poignant and honest, and the musical arrangement is beautifully crafted to underscore the emotions that the words are conveying.

Line by Line Meaning

Još jedna beskrajna noć, ti i ja u polumraku sobe
Another endless night, you and me in the half-light of the room

I pitam se da li znaš kuda nas ove tvoje riječi vode
I wonder if you know where your words are leading us

Uvijek si bio samo loš glumac, uvijek su laži odavale te
You've always been a bad actor, your lies always give you away

Al' ovog puta me slušaj, nešto za kraj od mene
But listen to me this time, something from me for the end

Ti si moja najveća greška
You are my biggest mistake

Poraz koji ne priznajem
A defeat that I don't admit

Ti si lutak kamenog srca
You are a puppet with a heart of stone

Spusti glavu i sakrij se
Lower your head and hide

Za tebe ljubav je samo igra
For you, love is just a game

Još jednom nije ti jasno
Once again, you don't understand

Da tvoje glupe fraze više ne vrijede
That your stupid phrases no longer have any value
