Samota v smrti
Törr Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tak tedy stůj před vírou svou
Jsi otrok snů
Tak jen se směj, jak smutnej je den
V koutě umírej
Umírej, umírej, umírej sám.

Jak prázdná díra v objetí
Jdeš dál

Rukou nesmělou, nocí studenou
Jseš sám
Umírej, umírej, umírej sám.

Tápáš ve vědomí, nevíš kam jít
Tak uteč dál
Od prahu z kamene a od hlav co ví
Jak shnít

Umírej, umírej, umírej sám
Umírej, umírej, umírej dál.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Törr's song "Samota v smrti" speak about the feeling of loneliness and despair. The first stanza urges the listener to face their faith or beliefs, and reminds them that they are slaves to their dreams. The second line advises the listener to smile even in sad times, while they are alone in the corner, dying. The repetition of "umírej" (dying) adds to the sense of hopelessness and despair. The second stanza further emphasizes the feeling of loneliness and emptiness, as the singer walks alone in the night with trembling hands. The line "jak prázdná díra v objetí" (like an empty hole in the embrace) further alludes to emotional void and isolation. The last stanza tells the listener to keep running away, from everything that reminds them of their mortality and that like everyone else, they too will die alone.
