Dama iz Kraljevskog Apartmana
Kraljevski Apartman Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ja nisam kralj, a nisam ni dvorska luda
Ne verujem u magije, ne verujem u cuda
Zivim sam na ulici, od danas do sutra
A ti glumis damu u Kraljevskom Apartmanu

Zbog tebe sam sve bacio u vodu
A ti si okrenula ledja svom robu
Nosis zlato oko vrata, haljine od svile

Stalno mastas do koje ces stici visine

A ti si u stvari samo potrosna roba
Dok se dajes ti trajes, na kraju se uvek kajes

A ti si, ustvari samo potrosna roba
Bila jednom dama iz Kraljevskog Apartmana...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kraljevski Apartman's song "Dama iz Kraljevskog Apartmana" tell a story of a man who is not a king nor a court jester and does not believe in magic or miracles. He lives day by day on the streets and meets a woman who pretends to be a lady in the Royal Suite. He is drawn to her and throws caution to the wind for her, but she eventually turns her back on him when he's of no use to her anymore. She wears gold around her neck and dresses in silk, always dreaming of reaching new heights. However, she is nothing more than disposable goods who only lasts as long as she gives herself. In the end, she is just a woman who used to be a lady in the Royal Suite.

This song speaks about how sometimes, people put on a facade to show that they are something they are not, and how those same people can use others for their own benefit. The lyrics also touch on the theme of social class and how even if someone comes from nothing, they always have their dignity and should not be taken advantage of by others who believe themselves to be better.
