Evergreen
No Smoking Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I menja cud
Pre skoka kaze hop
Kada je covek samo mlad I lud
Tad slusa rok I pop
Kada si samo malo stariji
Ozbiljniji
Kada si samo malo stariji
tad slusas samo dzez
Al moj tim
Svira evergrin
Evergrin
Voli ga I tata i sin
Al moj tim
Svira evergrin
Cak I stiv Mekvin
Voli evergrin
The lyrics to No Smoking Orchestra's song "Evergreen" explore the different musical tastes and preferences that people have as they age. The opening lines suggest that when a person is young and reckless, they are more likely to listen to upbeat and energetic music such as pop and rock. However, as they grow older and become more serious about life, they tend to switch to more refined and sophisticated forms of music such as jazz. The lyrics portray this transition as a natural part of life, as if it is inevitable that every person will eventually grow out of their youthful musical tastes.
The chorus of the song, however, presents an interesting contrast to this idea. The band is described as playing "evergreen", a term that typically refers to anything that is popular or relevant across multiple generations. The irony here is that the term "evergreen" seems to contradict the song's central message that musical tastes change with age. It is as if the band is refusing to grow old and give up the youthful energy and enthusiasm that comes with playing upbeat and timeless music.
Overall, "Evergreen" is a reflective song that explores the relationship between music and age. It acknowledges that people's tastes and preferences change over time, but it also suggests that music has the power to bridge generational gaps and remain relevant for years to come.
