KBO! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Uzimaš ono što se ne sme
Flaše svuda oko tebe
Kroz glavu bukti: gotovo je!
Alkohol...
U èetiri zida
Misliš, svet æe stati
Sreæa i blaženstva ljudska
Alkohol...
The song "Ringispil" by KBO! is a powerful and emotional commentary on the damaging effects of alcoholism. The first verse begins with "Ruke najzad govore" (Hands finally speak), which suggests that the singer has been silenced or unable to express themselves until now. They then observe someone else succumbing to their addiction and taking things that are forbidden ("Uzimaš ono što se ne sme") as they are surrounded by bottles. The singer's thoughts flare up ("Kroz glavu bukti: gotovo je!") and they recognize that alcohol is the cause of their troubles.
In the second verse, the song narrows its focus to the private experience of addiction. The singer is locked away within "four walls" and believes that the world will come to a halt ("Misliš, svet æe stati"). However, they also recognize that true happiness and bliss ("Sreæa i blaženstva ljudska") can only be found without a bottle. The refrain, "Alkohol," is repeated throughout the song and serves as both a condemnation of the substance and a cry for help.
