Vatra Lyrics

Razliven vosak
Po našim prstima
Rastopljen šećer
U časi absinta
Aroma lampi
Sva mora, svi borovi
Prigušimo svjetla
Mrak nam je saveznik

Raspusti kosu
Poglasni muziku
Čekam na prizor
Otkopčaj posljednji gumb
Pojest ću šminku
Sa tvojih usana
Svršimo skupa
Ti da si najjači flash
Ja ne bih skidao pogled sa tebe
Ti da si najjači noise
Ja bih još glasnije
Bio bih tvoj mali Sputnik
I ovaj krug ja pravim za tebe
Ti da si najjači flash
Ja ne bih skidao pogled sa tebe
Ti da si najjači noise
Ja bih još glasnije
Bio bih tvoj mali Sputnik
I ovaj krug ja pravim za tebe
Za tebe (za tebe, za tebe)

Za tebe (za tebe, za tebe)
Za tebe (za tebe, za tebe)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Vatra's song "Sputnik" depict a sensual and intimate moment between two individuals. The opening lines describe spilled wax on their fingers and melted sugar in a glass of absinthe, creating a sensory atmosphere. The scent of the aroma lamp fills the room, while the lights are dimmed, and darkness becomes their ally. The singer encourages the other person to let loose, unknot their hair, turn up the music, and create an enticing scene. They are captivated by the other's beauty and express the desire to consume the makeup from their lips.

As the song progresses, the lyrics express a strong connection between the two individuals. The singer suggests that if the other person possesses the strongest flash (referring to a camera flash and by extension, a captivating presence) or the strongest noise (representing a powerful presence or impact), they would not be able to divert their gaze. They want to be even louder if the other person embodies this strength. The lyrics metaphorically compare themselves to a "little Sputnik," implying that they orbit around the other person, symbolizing their submissive and devoted role. The circular motion described in the last line signifies the constant devotion and effort the singer puts into their connection.

Overall, the lyrics of "Sputnik" portray a passionate and intense attraction between two individuals, with a strong sense of desire and devotion.
