The band … Read Full Bio ↴Let 3 is a rock band from Rijeka, Croatia formed in 1987.
The band frontmen are Damir Martinović - Mrle and Zoran Prodanović - Prlja. Their music can be described as rock with elements of punk music and folk music. Band is popular in Croatia as well as other former Yugoslav republic due to their original approach to rock music and their obscene live performances with lots of nudity, often polarising the public of the region.
The band is notorious for their unprecedented, controversial and sometimes obscene performances. Their album "Nečuveno" (trans. Outrageous or Unheard of) was distributed as a CD which had nothing recorded on it - not even silence, it was just a piece of plastic. Nonetheless, it sold 350 copies. The following album "Jedina" (trans. The only one) was first recorded in only one copy which the band refused to sell or distribute.
Few months after the "release" they decided to release the album in 3 slightly different versions. In 2000 they staged suicide by firing squad on Ban Jelačić square - the central square in Zagreb, Croatian capital.

Let 3 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bijelo janje otrov pije,
Djeca vragu rogove bruse,
Iz očiju im ljubav sišu ose.
U zamišljenom kutu okrugle sobe
Dva dječaka se za nos drže,
Jedan drugog balegom hrane,
Oj dužine i širine!
Ekvator i paralele!
Gore, dolje, lijevo, desno, .
Ekvator i paralele.
Na sjeveru smrtno je zima,
Na jugu pingvini jedu ljude,
Na zapadu ljudi ljude,
A istok se trudi da kao zapad bude.
Oj dužine i širine!
Ekvator i paralele!
Gore, dolje, lijevo, desno, .
Ekvator i paralele.
Oj dužine i širine!
Ekvator i paralele!
Gore, dolje, lijevo, desno, .
Ekvator i paralele.
Na sjeveru smrtno je zima,
Na jugu pingvini jedu ljude,
Na zapadu ljudi ljude,
A istok se trudi da kao zapad bude.
Istok se trudi da kao zapad bude,
Istok se trudi da ...
Oj dužine i širine!
Ekvator i paralele!
Gore, dolje, lijevo, desno, .
Ekvator i paralele.
Oj dužine i širine!
Ekvator i paralele!
Gore, dolje, lijevo, desno, .
Ekvator i paralele.
The lyrics of Let 3's song Drama are a philosophical reflection on the interconnectedness of the world and its inhabitants. The opening lines suggest a dark and sinister atmosphere, with an image of a white lamb drinking poison and children sharpening their horns for the devil. The reference to love being sucked out of their eyes by wasps adds to the sense of despair and loss. The second stanza focuses on two boys who are feeding each other snot while struggling to breathe, perhaps hinting at the absurdity and meaninglessness of life.
The chorus, with its repetition of "Ekvator i paralele" (Equator and parallels), emphasizes the idea of global unity and the fact that we are all connected, no matter how different our circumstances. The subsequent lines that describe the extreme conditions in different parts of the world highlight the contrasts and inequalities that exist, but also imply that we all share a common humanity. The final repetition of "Istok se trudi da kao zapad bude" (The East is striving to be like the West) suggests a desire for uniformity and sameness, but also implies a resistance to such homogenization.
