The narrator knows that drinking is part of the problem. He admits to being a “scoundrel,” drinking through the night and sitting idle by day, while his partner keeps objecting. Then the refrain turns the pattern into a declaration of love: whenever he gets drunk, he calls because he needs her. The word “always” describes both devotion and a cycle that keeps repeating without repair. The song refuses to make the drinking charming in every line. Work is difficult, money is scarce and domestic expenses accumulate; alcohol offers a temporary escape, but the call at night returns the narrator to the relationship he has been neglecting. His confession that he cannot prove his partner wrong is one of the lyric’s clearest moments of self-awareness. Whether that awareness will change anything is left unanswered. The release trail offers a firmer point of reference than a chart narrative: It appears on *Još ti nije jasno da ti nije kasno*, an album dated 2013. This placement is firmer context than a speculative claim about the chart history of the song. I could not verify a dependable chart position or an independent review of this specific recording, so its wider reception remains unquantified rather than something to infer from its lyrics. Krešo i Kisele Kiše’s punk approach often finds comedy in ordinary failure and social frustration. Here, the repeated chorus gives a rough singalong shape to a more troubling dependence. Alcohol is a recurring coping behavior, not a solution the song recommends; its appeal lies in the narrator’s blunt admission that he needs someone while behaving in ways that strain the bond. No independent review was located. The song’s central irony is that he calls her because he loves her, but love is not the same as taking responsibility for the pattern that keeps hurting both of them. |
