Reci mi
Eric Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Reci mi gdje si, reci gdje si otišla
Zar stvarno morala si bez ikakvog razloga?
I to što pričaš neke bajke, znaš da nije istina
Sve što ostalo je ovdje to je samo pusta tišina

Reci mi, reci mi (reci)
Reci mi tu iz sjene
Reci mi, reci mi, zašto nisi pored mene

Reci mi, reci mi (reci)
Gdje ove noći bivaš
Reci mi, reci mi u čijem se oku skrivaš
Reci mi, reci mi (reci)
Reci mi tu iz sjene
Reci mi, reci mi, zašto nisi pored mene
Reci mi, reci mi (reci)
Gdje ove noći bivaš
Reci mi, reci mi u čijem se oku skrivaš

I dalje čekam svog Godota nasred raskrižja
Još me boli što si otišla bez pozdrava
Daj nemoj šutjet nego reci, reci što se dogođa (što se dogođa)
Zašto sve što pokušavam uvijek ode negdje dovraga?

Reci mi, reci mi (reci)
Reci mi tu iz sjene
Reci mi, reci mi, zašto nisi pored mene
Reci mi, reci mi (reci)
Gdje ove noći bivaš
Reci mi, reci mi u čijem se oku skrivaš
Reci mi, reci mi (reci)
Reci mi tu iz sjene
Reci mi, reci mi, zašto nisi pored mene
Reci mi, reci mi (reci)
Gdje ove noći bivaš
Reci mi, reci mi u čijem se oku skrivaš
Reci mi, reci mi (reci)
Reci mi tu iz sjene
Reci mi, reci mi, zašto nisi pored mene
Reci mi, reci mi (reci)

Gdje ove noći bivaš
Reci mi, reci mi u čijem se oku skrivaš

Overall Meaning

The song "Reci Mi" by Eric is a heartfelt plea to a lost love asking them to come back to the singer's side. The opening lyrics express the singer's frustration and pain at the sudden departure of their lover without any understandable reason. The singer also expresses how hurtful it is to hear their ex-partner telling lies to others about what happened between them that led to the break-up. The silence that hangs in the air now between them is palpable and only adds to the singer's heartache.

The chorus of the song starts with a repeating plea for the lost love to speak up and come out of the shadows. They ask repeatedly why the person is not by their side or where they might be on this lonely night. The singer then wonders who else their partner might be hiding with or whose eyes they might be looking into currently. The second verse describes how the singer is still waiting for their partner on a street corner, hoping that they will return. They express their pain at being left without so much as a goodbye and plead with them to tell them the truth about what happened between them. The chorus repeats these same questions and requests for answers with the same heartbreaking tone.

Overall, this song is a beautiful and emotional expression of heartbreak and longing. It shines a light on the pain we all feel when we are left alone without answers and begs for communication and healing.
