Pod čiernu zem
Gladiator Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Miluj ma, znenáviď ma, opi ma, ojazdi ma.
Zbožňuj ma, prepichni ma, utop ma, zabi ma.
Rob si čo chceš, ty ma nedostaneš.
Aj keď ma znesieš...

Pod čiernu zem, ja tvoj nikdy nebudem.
Pýtaj si liek, zbaľ si ho a choď už preč.
Rob si čo chceš, ja tvoj nikdy nebudem.
Pýtaš sa, no na to doplatíš.
A ja to viem a ty tiež.

Studne sa strať, kľudne sa vráť, kľudne buď tak akurát.
Miluj ma, znenáviď ma, zbožňuj ma, zabi ma.
Rob si čo chceš, ty ma nedostaneš.
Aj keď ma znesieš...

Pod čiernu zem, ja tvoj nikdy nebudem.
Pýtaj si liek, zbaľ si ho a choď už preč.
Rob si čo chceš, ja tvoj nikdy nebudem.
Pýtaš sa, no na to doplatíš.
A ja to viem a ty tiež.

Rob si čo chceš, ty ma nedostaneš.
Aj keď ma znesieš...

Pod čiernu zem, ja tvoj nikdy nebudem.
Pýtaj si liek, zbaľ si ho a choď už preč.
Rob si čo chceš, ja tvoj nikdy nebudem.
Pýtaš sa, no na to doplatíš.
A ja to viem a ty tiež.





Chlpatý jež.
A ty to vie, vie, vie, vie, vie, vie, vie, vie, vie, vie, vie, vie, vieš.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Gladiator's song "Pod čiernu zem" depict a tumultuous, possibly toxic relationship. The singer lists off a series of actions that their partner could take to them – love them, hate them, drug them, ride them, worship them, impale them, drown them, kill them – before proclaiming that their partner will never truly have them, even if they manage to hurt or overpower them. The chorus repeats the phrase "Pod čiernu zem," which means "under the black earth" in Slovak, suggesting that the singer would rather die than be owned by their partner. The bridge offers a paradoxical moment of reconciliation, encouraging the partner to leave but also promising that they can be a certain way and still be loved.


On the surface, the song seems like a straightforward rebuke of a controlling or abusive partner, with the singer taking a hard stance against being owned. However, the line "Rob si čo chceš, ty ma nedostaneš" ("Do what you want, you won't get me") suggests a degree of agency on the singer's part; they are implying that they are not helpless in the face of their partner's desires, and that they won't be manipulated or pushed around. This could be read as a form of empowerment, a declaration of independence from a toxic relationship.
