Praha
O.K. Press Lyrics

The lyrics to "Praha" by O.K. Press seem to evoke a sense of longing, love, and a contemplation of life's transient nature against the backdrop of the city of Prague. The opening lines, "Ať ještě zůstanou, Najděte svíci, Hvězdy nad Prahou, Světla spící" suggest a plea to hold on to something, perhaps hope or light, even as the world sleeps. The imagery of stars above Prague and sleeping lights paints a picture of a city at rest, under the watchful gaze of the night sky.

As the lyrics progress, there is a sense of urgency and a desire to seize the moment before it fades away. The lines "A až uhasnou, Půjdou, kam chtějí jít, Mám kouř v plících, Zapalte svíci" convey a feeling of determination to light a candle even as the stars extinguish, symbolizing a drive to keep moving forward despite challenges and uncertainties. The mention of smoke in the lungs adds a layer of intensity and emotion to the imagery, hinting at the struggle and passion within.

The repeated motif of "Jedna holka, jedno dítě, Jen tři slova: Lásko, chci tě" introduces a personal element to the lyrics, emphasizing the importance of love and connection in the midst of chaos and conflict. The reference to one girl, one child, and the desire for love in just three words conveys a sense of simplicity and purity amidst the complexities of life. The mention of a small apartment and three boys wanting to take her away hints at the challenges and pressures of relationships and societal expectations.

The closing lines of the song bring a sense of resolution and acceptance, as the singer reflects on the passage of time and the cyclical nature of life. The repetition of "Jedna holka, jedno dítě, Jen tři slova: Lásko, chci tě, Jeden pokoj v malým bytě" underscores the themes of love, longing, and intimacy in a simple and profound way. The final mention of three boys wanting to take her away juxtaposed with the singer's desire to light a candle amidst darkness encapsulates the push and pull of personal desires and external influences in a poignant manner.
