Thompson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Zemlja tada bila, bila je pusta
I vidije da tako, tako nije dobro
I stvori covjeka svojega oblika
Eto sve sto vidis
Neka bude tvoje
Oprosti nam Boze
Razmozit cu ljude
Izmislit drogu
Stvorit muzicare
I rokere vrele
Zaljubljene
I uzbudjene zene
Posjec ce se trava
Svirati gitara
Pravit cemo samo
Velike orgije
A Bogovi postat
Postat ce rokvije
Skrenuo je covjek
Sa bozjega puta
Pa on sada negdje
S tranputicom luta
Rastjerajmo tamu
Da nam jutra svanu
Rastjerajmo tamu
Da nam jutra svanu
Zato Boze zaboravi sve to
Vrati nas na ono
Ono staro mjesto
U prah i pepeo pretvori
Oprosti nam Boze
Ipak smo mi tvoji
Rastjerajmo tamu
Da nam jutra svanu
Rastjerajmo tamu
Da nam jutra svanu
The lyrics to Thompson's "Povratak Bogu" tell the story of God's creation of the earth and mankind, and how humans have strayed from God's path by indulging in worldly pleasures like drugs, music, and orgies. The first stanza paints a picture of a desolate earth before God created mankind, and how he saw that it was not good. He then created man in his own image, giving them dominion over the earth. The following stanzas describe how humans have misused this power, and have turned away from God's plan.
The lyrics suggest that humans have become so consumed by their desires that they have lost sight of what is truly important. The line "eto sve sto vidis, neka bude tvoje" translates to "everything you see, let it be yours," implying that humans have become obsessed with possessions and material wealth. The next few stanzas suggest that humans have become addicted to drugs and music, and have lost themselves in meaningless pleasures and orgies.
The chorus, "rastjerajmo tamu, da nam jutra svanu" translates to "let's dispel the darkness so that tomorrow can dawn." This implies that hope still exists for humanity, and that we can still return to God's path. The final stanza suggests that humans should turn away from their current lifestyle, and return to the "old place" where they belong. Despite our misdeeds, the lyrics ask for God's forgiveness, and suggest that ultimately, we still belong to him.

Symbolika je jaca strana Markovih pjesama. Oni koji bolje poznaju Bibliju bolje razumiju pojedine pjesme!
