Candy
Pavol Habera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
máš počmáranú tvár
Candy
lacná fotka na stenách
Pre každého z nás si len
minútový prístav
Candy
a nečakáš už viac
Candy
odložená v kúte spíš
Candy
tak za kým odletíš
Princovia sú v penzii
naložení v liehu
Candy
aj ja už balím krám
Nobody loves you
noc je krutá Candy
Nobody loves you
nič nevravíš Candy
Nobody loves you
schránka na spomienky
nikomu už nepatríš
ale sebe tiež nie
Candy
perie bez krídiel
Candy
bývala si občas fajn
Candy
do každého počasia
včera niekto zazvonil
dodnes neotváraš
Candy
vraj to nebolí
Nobody loves you
noc je krutá Candy
Nobody loves you
nič nevravíš Candy
Nobody loves you
schránka na spomienky
nikomu už nepatríš
ale sebe tiež nie
Candy
Ani ja som nebol tvoj
Nobody loves you
noc je krutá Candy
Nobody loves you
nič nevravíš Candy
Nobody loves you
schránka na spomienky
nikomu už nepatríš
ale sebe tiež nie
Nobody loves you
noc je krutá Candy
Nobody loves you
nič nevravíš Candy
Nobody loves you
schránka na spomienky
nikomu už nepatríš
ale sebe tiež nie
Nobody loves you
noc je krutá Candy
Nobody loves you
nič nevravíš Candy
The lyrics to Pavol Habera's song "Candy" speak of a brokenhearted person whose longing for love is unrequited. The person addressed as "Candy" is painted as a beautiful but cheap adornment that has lost its value and appeal. The singer seems to be acknowledging that their relationship with Candy was fleeting and only served as a temporary escape from their loneliness. The lyrics illustrate Candy's loss of significance as the singer is ready to move on and implies that Candy's only purpose was to provide a momentary distraction. The line "perie bez krídiel" (meaning "laundry without wings") suggests that Candy feels stagnant and unable to take off and make something of herself. In the end, the singer acknowledges their own faults and shortcomings and concedes that they were "never yours."
