Hidden cry for true values. Taking apart pop song by Severina - Tutorial - Millenial reports

in teamserbia •  6 years ago  (edited)

So you if you are from Balkan you know Severina, and if you're not from Balkan and you visit Porn Hub frequently you also know Severina ( hint - she has a sex tape ). I'm not a fan per se but you couldn't avoid if you wanted to, the more you resist the more pop culture has its way with you. I've been listening to her songs when I was kid and I thought she has a really nice voice, she was mainly Dalmatian ( part of Croatia ) oriented singer with a pop style. When she started her career as most pretty girls she fell in love and was tricked, and a video of her having sex on a boat emerged. This of course brought her huge fame. I know this because my mother asked my brother if he can find that video online ( Internet was new and slow then ) so she could see it. EVERYONE SAW IT!

Moving forward. After some years she went full on sexy, using her biggest weapon (smart), but now she released her last album and I kinda get a sense of some profound lyrics there, let me make myself clear, I just get a sense, this is still a Turbo Folk Pop listening in da club while I'm drunk song. Let us see the lyrics.

Tutorial

Koga foliram
za ljubav se izoliram
sa mnom si u snovima
sa njom si u kolima

(Refren)
A ja bi’ pila, ja bi’ pila
sto promila, noćima bi’ lila
ne bi krila, s kim bi’ bila
jer za ljubav trebam tutorial

Ljubomora safata
kao luda mlada bahata
Pola grada nada se, napada
A ja sama, a ja sama

Ja sto sam suza prolila
on je sto čaša razbio
Na kraju ko ruža sam sklopila
latice što je slomio

Nađi me, nađi me
tamo gdje mlada noć pada
Slađi je, slađi je
okus pobjede nego usne tog gada

(Refren)

A ja pojma, pojma nemam
ma sta je to ljubav, pojma nemam
Pojma, pojma nemam
ma sta je to ljubav, pojma nemam

I budi me na tmurna jutra
godi mi k’o dim na svaki gutljaj
Dodiri vreli kao ognjište kamina
tragovi mog karmina bi na ta usta

A ja pojma, pojma nemam
ma sta je to ljubav, pojma nemam
Pojma, pojma nemam
ma sta je to ljubav, pojma nemam

Who am I fooling
I isolate myself from love
You're with me in dreams
You're with her in car

(Chorus)
I would drink, I would drink
100 promiles, I would drink nights
I wouldn't hide who would I be with
Because I need tutorial for love

Jealousy obsesses
like crazy young arrogant
In the end like rose
I closed
Petals he broke

Find me, find me
Where night is young
It's sweeter, it's sweeter
The taste of win than that
Bastard's lips

(Chorus)

I have no clue, have no clue
What is love, have no clue
Have no clue, have no clue
What is love, have no
clue

It wakes me up on dark mornings
It pleases me like smoke to every sip
Your touches hot like fireplace
My lipstick marks would be on that mouth

I have no clue, have no clue
What is love, have no clue
Have no clue, have no clue
What is love, have no
clue
(x2)

So the part I have no clue what love is, in the video is sung by a little gypsy boy who is a terrific singer, but he's still a child. And the song as you can see is about heartbroken girl who tries to mend her relationship while on alcohol and hardcore night life (poor girl). Don't get me wrong I still think this a product song that serves to sell and to be played in night clubs full of drunken people who are only listening to the beat, BUT. What if she dug something deeper in this? Let's think of this gypsy boy as a child of these parents. They're young and irresponsible, partying and cheating each other.

Who am I fooling
I isolate myself from love
You're with me in dreams
You're with her in car

jealousy obsesses
like crazy young arrogant
In the end like rose
I closed
Petals he broke

Petals like parts of her heart that he broke, so she drinks 100 promiles (measure used in measuring the level of alcohol in your body), and basically wasting her life away. So let's imagine this child like their kid. Of course he wouldn't have a clue what is love, his parents didn't know it, who else could teach him? Hollywood?!

This is a basic pop song but this part with this Ljuba Stankovic kid is what gets me. There are generations and generations of kids that don't know how a husband and wife should behave because they never seen it applied in their household (the root of all taught things), and the modern pop music isn't helping, it isn't promoting true values like loyalty, love, friendship, trust and relationships. It is promoting hot chicks, alcohol, drugs, partying. Don't get me wrong I love drugs as every normal person does, but we all know what they're for and they are no long - term solutions. you won't get anywhere with them, you use them get off for a minute. When whole culture is promoting these short - term solutions we're raising generations that just want to get off.

We need more artist that promote true values, until all of us forget about them.

I would like to conclude this with a verse from internationally known song by Outkast - Hey ya.

My baby don't mess around
'Cause she loves me so
This I know fo sho!
But does she really wanna
But can't stand to see me walk out tha door
Don't try to fight the feeling
Because the thought alone is killin' me right now
Thank God for Mom and Dad
For sticking to together
Like we don't know how
