Mrak
Marcelo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hladnoca, mrak, drhtaj, strah
Sapet, nag, krhak, sam
Dok, na patosu - blato svud
Kasljem mulj, a mastom zvuk

Tutnji i seca na grub udarac tup
Vec narednog casa, evo, budim se tu, tu
Gde je to tu, gde sam sad
Besan sam, a svestan da nemam trag
Kud van iz bezdana

Pokrenuh um, a kosti
Cini se, sve su tu i bole
Prisilna igra, tisina
Kida mislima krila, dok tonem

Sekundi, vecnost, grc, noge
Pokusaj, zmarci, nista, i opet
Malo bolje, ali ne, ne mogu jos
Ne, ne dovoljno

Klecanje, mucni napor, zamor, znoj
Zamalo, jos malo, izdrzi, napokon
Cini mi se sada susta moc
Samo stajati uspravno

Ustasmo, s uzdahom
Rekoh nogama svojim
A uzdah moj
Primih u usi s uzasom

Prostor mi ehom vraca bol
I tada shvatam kob
Zatvoren, zarobljen negde
Zasto je tako i gde je zatvor
Sto sablasno nem je
Kavez, moj usud i cemer

K'o u snu breme
Ono kada ne mozes da trcis
Ono kada ne mozes da bezis
I skamenjen jecis

U taj cas tresnu me svetlo snezno belo
Padoh mu u narucje zlo nezno, slepo
Kada podigoh kapke svuda, desno, levo
Gore, dole oko mene je od stakla veo

Prostor ceo od ogledala satkan
Niotkuda otvora, prozora ni vrata
Na ivici snaga, maglovito shvatam
Da u mene pilje bolne oci sa svih strana

Ogledala, svi zidovi, patos, plafon
O, gledam vas, kriva lica plove strahom
K'o da mi sudi bezbroj mojih pogleda
Sve je ja, znam
Svi se bojimo, strepimo gde je kraj nas

Mrak

Odjednom, huk rusi muk
Zvuk grubi ubi mi sluh
Da stupim kud bih, kad tlu preti potres
Preki poce sud

Drhte zidovi, tavan i bezbroj mojih glava
Sablasni roj grimasa, hrli meni krv mi ledi shvatam tada kakva je to zamka
Prostor se skuplja

A kad zguzva se skroz do kraja
Zdrobice me, to mi zele, sad znam
Nada da ipak sanjam postade bleda i tanka
Stizu mi, nema spasa
Smrvice me, nemam kud i tacka

I bas u taj cas
Sansa u patosu je rupa
Svest posta budna shvatih
Svetlo u sobi je stiglo otuda

Sudba mi nudi uzmak
Vratih osmeh za uzvrat
Al' me njena ruka gruba tresnu
Vec sledeceg sekunda
Jer rupa nema dna, nema dna
Ne vidi se, nema ga

Ako skocim, ni pod razno
Ne mogu preziveti taj pad
I sta sad ovog sveta
Sav strah spoznah

U trenu kad jak osecaj
Gadnog kraja dade mi znak
Da skocim u taj kanal
Prstanje stakla sada vise nema natrag

Kotrljam se kroz sluzav
Ljigav tunel bez kraja
Ta tama grize oko ispod kapka
Gmize kozom, hitro stapa me
S mrtvilom mraka, gnjecavo crnilo vlada

Padam i padam i placem i padam
I najzad eto kraja svetlo nada
Izleteh i premreh i tresnuh o belo
Da li spas, il' opelo, samo led, dusom celom

I tad videh, shvatih
Tesko verovah javi moje lice
Sasvim bledo, poput oblaka
Se nadvi nada mnom bedno malim
Sto je iskasljan na taj zid wc-solje
Zbunjen vapim, hocu gore da se vratim

I stidim se i gadim
Jer sad mi je jasno sasvim
Da bejah u svojoj glavi
Da sam ispljuvan vani

Ispovracao sebe iz sebe
Vec se u dnu solje davim
Onaj nad soljom bivsi ja
Drhti, stenje i zvali

Bol, kakav to gnev moj
Cini da svest boj vodi
Za presto nad sobom

I sve sto bio sam pre tog trena
Nije vredno, al' sad je svejedno
Ja nisam ja

Mrak, kakav to gnev moj
Cini da svest boj vodi
Za presto nad sobom

I sve sto bio sam pre tog trena
Nije vredno, i s jedom gledam
Svoje lice bedno tu iznad

Citav bazdi na vinjak, zvera u nista
A ipak nije sam u kupatilu
Neko ili nesto je tamo
Iza neka sena nije jedna
To su covek i zena
Tapsu mu ramena

Tad napregnuh oka polusnena
I poznah ta lica tudja
Grozna sto ga teraju da odmah
Pusti vodu da skoncam, kao otpad

Ona je sociofobija, on je 21. vek
Oni su dosli po njega
Oni ga lazu da znaju lek, ne

Ne budi glup, oni zele samo ljusturu
Samo olupinu, ljusku smusenu
Bezlicnu, skrusenu srusen duh
Uvek tudj sebi samom

Budes gluv, vencan s tamom
Ne daj me, ne daj se
Lazu te, molim te
Slusaj me, ne

Ali vec je kasno
On je zacaran bajkom
Da sve ce biti krasno
Cim ga prime u to carstvo

Gde nema bola, gde savest nije patrola
Gde si lisen mozga
Gde si ponosni vlasnik bar-koda
On pusta vodu

Poslednjim pogledom oka
Vidim kako ga pohotno ljube
Ona je vec gola, orgijaju
Skaradno slave, prodiru u njega

On je balav i prazan
I srecan i oslobodjen svega

Throughout the song, the singer is grappling with their own mental health and sense of identity. They describe feeling trapped and powerless, struggling to overcome their own limitations and fears. Yet, despite the darkness and bleakness of the lyrics, there is also a sense of resilience and determination, as the singer refuses to give up and continues to fight for their own survival.


Overall, Mrak is a powerful and haunting work that speaks to the complex and often painful experiences of living with mental illness. Through its vivid imagery and raw emotional honesty, the song offers a moving and insightful glimpse into the struggles that many people face every day.

Sto sablasno nem je
What is eerily silent


Kavez, moj usud i cemer
Cage, my destiny and misery


K'o u snu breme
Like a burden in a dream


Ono kada ne mozes da trcis
When you can't run


Ono kada ne mozes da bezis
When you can't escape


I skamenjen jecis
And you cry petrified


U taj cas tresnu me svetlo snezno belo
In that moment bright white light slams me


Padoh mu u narucje zlo nezno, slepo
I fell into its evil, tender, blind embrace


Kada podigoh kapke svuda, desno, levo
When I lifted my eyelids everywhere, right, left


Gore, dole oko mene je od stakla veo
Up, down, around me is a glass veil


Prostor ceo od ogledala satkan
The whole space made of mirrors


Niotkuda otvora, prozora ni vrata
Nowhere openings, windows or doors


Na ivici snaga, maglovito shvatam
On the edge of strength, I vaguely realize


Da u mene pilje bolne oci sa svih strana
That painful eyes stare into me from all sides


Ogledala, svi zidovi, patos, plafon
Mirrors, all walls, floor, ceiling


O, gledam vas, kriva lica plove strahom
Oh, I look at you, crooked faces floating in fear


K'o da mi sudi bezbroj mojih pogleda
As if countless of my glances are judging me


Sve je ja, znam
It's all me, I know


Svi se bojimo, strepimo gde je kraj nas
We are all scared, anxious about where the end is


Mrak
Darkness


Odjednom, huk rusi muk
Suddenly, noise breaks the silence


Zvuk grubi ubi mi sluh
Crude sound deafens me


Da stupim kud bih, kad tlu preti potres
To step where, when the ground threatens an earthquake


Preki poce sud
Swift judgment begins


Drhte zidovi, tavan i bezbroj mojih glava
Walls tremble, ceiling and countless of my heads


Sablasni roj grimasa, hrli meni krv mi ledi shvatam tada kakva je to zamka
A ghostly swarm of grimaces rushes to me, blood freezes, I realize then what a trap it is


Prostor se skuplja
The space contracts


A kad zguzva se skroz do kraja
And when it crumples completely


Zdrobice me, to mi zele, sad znam
It will crush me, that's what they want, now I know


Nada da ipak sanjam postade bleda i tanka
The hope that I am still dreaming becomes faint and thin


Stizu mi, nema spasa
They're coming for me, there's no escape


Smrvice me, nemam kud i tacka
They crush me, I have nowhere to go, period


I bas u taj cas
And just in that moment


Sansa u patosu je rupa
Hope on the floor is a hole


Svest posta budna shvatih
Consciousness becomes awake, I realized


Svetlo u sobi je stiglo otuda
The light in the room has come from there


Sudba mi nudi uzmak
Fate offers me retreat


Vratih osmeh za uzvrat
I returned a smile in return


Al' me njena ruka gruba tresnu
But her rough hand struck me


Vec sledeceg sekunda
Already the next second


Jer rupa nema dna, nema dna
Because the hole has no bottom, no bottom


Ne vidi se, nema ga
It's not visible, it's not there


Ako skocim, ni pod razno
If I jump, under no circumstances


Ne mogu preziveti taj pad
Can I survive that fall


I sta sad ovog sveta
And what now of this world


Sav strah spoznah
I have experienced all fear


U trenu kad jak osecaj
In an instant when a strong feeling


Gadnog kraja dade mi znak
Of a nasty end gave me a sign


Da skocim u taj kanal
To jump into that channel


Prstanje stakla sada vise nema natrag
The ring of glass now has no way back


Kotrljam se kroz sluzav
I roll through the slimy


Ljigav tunel bez kraja
Slippery tunnel with no end


Ta tama grize oko ispod kapka
That darkness gnaws at the eye under the eyelid


Gmize kozom, hitro stapa me
It creeps under the skin, swiftly merging with me


S mrtvilom mraka, gnjecavo crnilo vlada
With the stillness of darkness, oppressive blackness rules


Padam i padam i placem i padam
I fall and fall and cry and fall


I najzad eto kraja svetlo nada
And finally, here comes the end, light of hope


Izleteh i premreh i tresnuh o belo
I jump out and freeze and crash onto the white


Da li spas, il' opelo, samo led, dusom celom
Is it salvation, or funeral, only ice, with my whole soul


I tad videh, shvatih
And then I saw, I understood


Tesko verovah javi moje lice
I hardly believed my own face


Sasvim bledo, poput oblaka
Completely pale, like a cloud


Se nadvi nada mnom bedno malim
Hovering over me, pitifully small


Sto je iskasljan na taj zid wc-solje
Which is coughed up on that wall of the toilet bowl


Zbunjen vapim, hocu gore da se vratim
Confused, I cry out, I want to go back up


I stidim se i gadim
And I'm ashamed and disgusted


Jer sad mi je jasno sasvim
Because now it's clear to me


Da bejah u svojoj glavi
That I was in my own head


Da sam ispljuvan vani
That I was spat out outside


Ispovracao sebe iz sebe
Vomited myself out of myself


Vec se u dnu solje davim
Already drowning in the bottom of the toilet bowl


Onaj nad soljom bivsi ja
The one above the bowl, the former me


Drhti, stenje i zvali
Shivering, moaning, and begging


Bol, kakav to gnev moj
Pain, what kind of anger is this of mine


Cini da svest boj vodi
Makes consciousness lead the battle


Za presto nad sobom
For the throne over oneself


I sve sto bio sam pre tog trena
And everything I was before that moment


Nije vredno, al' sad je svejedno
It's not worth it, but now it doesn't matter


Ja nisam ja
I am not me


Mrak, kakav to gnev moj
Darkness, what kind of anger is this of mine


Cini da svest boj vodi
Makes consciousness lead the battle


Za presto nad sobom
For the throne over oneself


I sve sto bio sam pre tog trena
And everything I was before that moment


Nije vredno, i s jedom gledam
It's not worth it, and with disgust I look


Svoje lice bedno tu iznad
My pitiful face there above


Citav bazdi na vinjak, zvera u nista
The whole thing reeks of brandy, a beast in nothingness


A ipak nije sam u kupatilu
And yet he is not alone in the bathroom


Neko ili nesto je tamo
Someone or something is there


Iza neka sena nije jedna
Behind a shadow is not just one


To su covek i zena
It's a man and a woman


Tapsu mu ramena
They pat his shoulders


Tad napregnuh oka polusnena
Then I strained my half-asleep eyes


I poznah ta lica tudja
And I recognized those unfamiliar faces


Grozna sto ga teraju da odmah
Awful what they force him to do right away


Pusti vodu da skoncam, kao otpad
To flush the water and end it, like waste


Ona je sociofobija, on je 21. vek
She is social phobia, he is the 21st century


Oni su dosli po njega
They have come for him


Oni ga lazu da znaju lek, ne
They lie to him that they know the cure, no


Ne budi glup, oni zele samo ljusturu
Don't be stupid, they only want the shell


Samo olupinu, ljusku smusenu
Just the wreckage, the crushed shell


Bezlicnu, skrusenu srusen duh
Faceless, broken down, fallen spirit


Uvek tudj sebi samom
Always a stranger to himself


Budes gluv, vencan s tamom
You become deaf, married to darkness


Ne daj me, ne daj se
Don't give me away, don't give in


Lazu te, molim te
They lie to you, I beg you


Slusaj me, ne
Listen to me, no


Ali vec je kasno
But it's already late


On je zacaran bajkom
He is enchanted by the fairy tale


Da sve ce biti krasno
That everything will be wonderful


Cim ga prime u to carstvo
As soon as they accept him into that kingdom


Gde nema bola, gde savest nije patrola
Where there is no pain, where conscience is not on patrol


Gde si lisen mozga
Where you are deprived of reason


Gde si ponosni vlasnik bar-koda
Where you are the proud owner of a barcode


On pusta vodu
He flushes the water


Poslednjim pogledom oka
With the last glance of the eye


Vidim kako ga pohotno ljube
I see how they lustfully kiss him


Ona je vec gola, orgijaju
She is already naked, they orgy


Skaradno slave, prodiru u njega
Obscenely celebrating, penetrating into him


On je balav i prazan
He is slobbering and empty


I srecan i oslobodjen svega
And happy and freed from everything


Mrak
Darkness
