Vucem se kroz zivot korak po korak
Ponekad guram nekako, ponekad je corak
Nemam zasto da se kajem, postoje pravila
Eh da mi je jos jedna kap sa tvoga izvora

Nista mi nije sa neba palo
Niko mi nista nije dao
I sve sto imam na dlan bi stalo

Meni je dovoljno, za tebe je malo

Ne pitaj me vise nista
Samo sam u prolazu
Samo trazim svoje mesto
Svoju, svoju stanicu

A dao sam sve od sebe da bi vatra gorela
Sada mi je svejedno, ti si je ugasila
A dao sam sve od sebe da bi vatra gorela
Ja sam bio jedan plamen, ti si me ugasila

Nista mi nije sa neba palo
Niko mi nista nije dao
I sve sto imam na dlan bi stalo
Meni je dovoljno, za tebe je malo

Ne pitaj me vise nista
Samo sam u prolazu
Samo trazim svoje mesto
Svoju, svoju stanicu

A dao sam sve od sebe da bi vatra gorela
Sada mi je svejedno, ti si je ugasila

A dao sam sve od sebe da bi vatra gorela
Ja sam bio jedan plamen, ti si me ugasila

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kraljevski Apartman's song "Dao sam sve od sebe" express feelings of determination, struggle, and ultimately disappointment. The singer of the song is trying to make his way through life step by step, sometimes succeeding and sometimes falling short. He believes in following certain rules and regulations, and is not one to regret his actions. However, he longs for just one more drop of inspiration from the source of his passion.

The refrain of the song repeats the idea that the singer has achieved everything he has without any help from others, and that what he has is enough for him, even if it may not be enough for the person he is addressing. He does not want to be questioned further about his struggles and is just looking for a place to call his own.

The chorus then takes a darker turn, revealing that the singer has given his all to light the fire of his passion, and is now indifferent to the fact that the person he cared about, symbolized by the "you" in the lyrics, has extinguished it. He was once a flame burning brightly, but she has snuffed him out.

Overall, these lyrics capture the frustration and unfulfilled dreams of someone who has put in hard work and dedication, only to have their hopes dashed.

I'm just passing by

I'm just looking for my place
