Damir Urban released his first solo album in 1996, entitled "Otrovna kisa" (Poison Rain), to critical and commercial acclaim. The album was produced with MC Ancho's help. In 1998 he released "Zena Dijete" (Woman-Child) to even greater critical and commercial acclaim, and the album spawned a string of number ones: "Mala Truba", " Odlucio sam da te Volim" and "Black Tattoo" (which features the Split hip-hop group The Beat Fleet) all of them received extensive airplay. He refused to receive the Porin (Croatia's equivalent to a Grammy) for the album, as it was nominated for best alternative album and Urban believed his album to be a rock album, therefore, he considered he would be stealing a prize from real alternative artists.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me hear you say everything's okay
Bring me southern kisses from your room
Meet me in the middle of the night
Let me hear you say everything's alright
Let me smell the moon in your perfume
And there's always something more
It's lost in talk, I waste my time
And it's all been said before
While further down behind the masquerade the tears are there
I don't ask for all that much I just want someone to care
That's right now
Meet me in the middle of the day
Let me hear you say everything's okay
Come on out beneath the shining sun
Meet me in the middle of the night
Let me hear you say everything's alright
Sneak on out beneath the stars and run
Oh yeah, oh yeah yeah, oh yeah
It's king and queen and we must go down now beyond the chandelier
Where I won't have to speak my mind and you won't have to hear
Shreds of news and afterthoughts and complicated scenes
We'll huddle down behind the light and fade like magazines
Meet me in the middle of the day
Let me hear you say everything's okay
Bring me southern kisses from your room
Hey hey, meet me in the middle of the night
Let me hear you say everything's alright
Let me smell the moon in your perfume
Oh now, meet me in the middle of the day
Let me hear you say everything's okay
Let me see you smiling back at me
Hey, meet me in the middle of the night
Let me hear you say everything's alright
Hold me tight and love and loving's free
Woah yeah
The lyrics to Urban's song "Romeo" speak of two people who long to be together and find solace in each other's presence. They begin by saying "meet me in the middle of the day, let me hear you say everything's okay, bring me southern kisses from your room". This first verse sets the tone for the entire song, with the singer expressing a deep desire to connect with their love interest. They want to hear that everything is going to be okay, and they want to feel the passion and love between them through "southern kisses".
As the song progresses, the singer continues to emphasize the desire to be with their love interest in every moment, saying "meet me in the middle of the night, let me hear you say everything's alright, let me smell the moon in your perfume". They long to be together, even when the world is dark and cold, and smell the intoxicating scent of their partner's perfume under the moonlight.
These lyrics are echoed in the final verses of the song, when the singer says "meet me in the middle of the day, let me hear you say everything's okay, let me see you smiling back at me" and "meet me in the middle of the night, let me hear you say everything's alright, hold me tight and love and loving's free". Ultimately, the lyrics paint a picture of two people who have found comfort and love in each other, and who are willing to fight to be together through any obstacle.
Line by Line Meaning
Meet me in the middle of the day
I want to see you during the day and hear you say that everything is going well
Let me hear you say everything's okay
I need to know that you're doing well and that everything is fine in your life
Bring me southern kisses from your room
I want you to share with me the warmth and love from your home
Meet me in the middle of the night
I want to see you even in the dark, at night
Let me hear you say everything's alright
I need reassurance from you that everything is okay, even when it's dark and scary
Let me smell the moon in your perfume
I want to experience your unique essence, and the mystery and beauty of the night
Oh, Gods and years will rise and fall
Time will pass and things will change, but some things will remain the same
And there's always something more
There's always something new to discover and experience in life
It's lost in talk, I waste my time
Sometimes we get lost in meaningless conversation and it feels like a waste of time
And it's all been said before
Some things are said over and over again, and the meaning can get lost in the repetition
While further down behind the masquerade the tears are there
Behind the façade of happiness, there may be sadness and pain
I don't ask for all that much I just want someone to care
I don't need much, just someone who cares and is there for me
That's right now
This is what I want and need in the present moment
Come on out beneath the shining sun
Let's enjoy the warmth and optimism of the daytime together
Sneak on out beneath the stars and run
Let's escape from the world and our problems by running away under the stars
It's king and queen and we must go down now beyond the chandelier
It's time for us to explore a new world, beyond the glitter and glamour of what we've known
Where I won't have to speak my mind and you won't have to hear
In this new world, we can just be together and not worry about the external pressures or communication
Shreds of news and afterthoughts and complicated scenes
Life can be complicated and full of unnecessary distractions and details
We'll huddle down behind the light and fade like magazines
In our own world, we can forget about the outside and just fade away, like the temporary news and entertainment in magazines
Let me see you smiling back at me
I crave the warmth, happiness, and love from seeing you genuinely smile
Hold me tight and love and loving's free
Let's hold onto each other and love freely, without any pressures or worries
Woah yeah
Expressing enthusiasm and joy in this moment
