Kaos
Raiven Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Umirjen utrip srca,
Morje brez meja.
Belo nebo,
Tečem skozi čas,
Resen je izraz.
Na površju vse je mirno,
Kaos, kaos, kaos
Z glavo vznak,
Svet obrne se,
Zdaj vse lažje je.
Na tleh nebo,
Dež pada iz tal,
Solze zlijem vanj.
Na površju vse je mirno,
A v meni je kaos.
Kaos, kaos, kaos
Na površju vse je mirno,
A v meni je...
Ena plus ena je nič,
Lepota ni grda, je kič.
Brez zmage nastal je poraz,
Ujet si v past,
Resnica je laž!
Kdaj bo te igre dovolj?
Zavesa zdaj spušča se dol.
Orkester za tabo igra,
Sanje so hrup,
Ti pa spet toneš v kaos.
Kaos, kaos, kaos, ...
Na površju vse je mirno,
A v meni je...
V meni je, v meni je, ...
Na površju vse je mirno,
A v meni je kaos
The lyrics to Raiven's song Kaos speak to the internal turmoil that we sometimes feel when we are faced with chaos in our lives. The song starts with the image of a still body and a calm heartbeat, and the vastness of the sea and sky. But despite this surface calm, the singer expresses that there is chaos inside them. The line "Resen je izraz" ("Serious is the expression") suggests that the singer is trying to hold it together and maintain a serious facade even though they are experiencing chaos within.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become more intense. The image of the singer turning their head upside down suggests a desire to shake things up and break free from the chaos. The rain falling from the sky and the tears being shed add to the overall image of tumult and turmoil. The lines "Ena plus ena je nič" ("One plus one equals zero") and "Resnica je laž" ("Truth is a lie") speak to the confusion and uncertainty that the singer is feeling.
The repetition of "Kaos" throughout the song reinforces the idea of chaos as a constant presence, something that cannot be ignored or escaped from. In the end, despite the calm exterior, the singer admits that the chaos remains within them.

Ujet si v past,
You are trapped in a trap
Resnica je laž!
The truth is a lie!
Kdaj bo te igre dovolj?
When will this game be enough?
Zavesa zdaj spušča se dol.
The curtain is falling now
Orkester za tabo igra,
The orchestra is playing behind you
Sanje so hrup,
Dreams are noise
Ti pa spet toneš v kaos.
And you are sinking again into chaos
Kaos, kaos, kaos, ...
Chaos, chaos, chaos...
V meni je, v meni je, ...
Inside me, inside me...
Na površju vse je mirno,
Everything seems calm on the surface
A v meni je kaos.
But inside me there is chaos

This song is a chaos but well made. She has great vocals too. It's sad this is not the chosen one despite the winner is not that bad either, but this has so many shades that makes it even interesting.

This is a guilty pleasure. It's so unique but so over the top but so extra but so fun!

Raiven we will support you no matter you go to Eurovision or not. Even we all know you should have won, let's wish a lot of luck to Zala and Gasper, they also have an amazing song, probably eurovision final material. Slovenia should consider to select you internally, you are really loved in Europe and you would do amazingly. Now, let's wait for REM until tomorrow :)

why so much hate on this? This woman deserves to win, she makes unique music!

It's great! It would work even better with increased tension: with the the "chaotic" part more chaotic, more powerful. I find it a little too tame in view of the mindblowing, crazy potential this piece has.

I came back to this song because of Latvia 2020, like combination between this and Maruv..but yeah, only mine opinion..
