Pijem da zaboravim

Pijem da zaboravim
tvoje oci plave
ali kad se otreznim
ne izlazis iz glave
Pijem da zaboravim
sve u vezi tebe
da cu tako da te prebolim
uzalud ja lazem samog sebe
Znao sam od prvog dana to
nisi ista kao sve
ali nisam ni sanjao
tako bolece me
Nisam cuvao te
drugi sada te ima
da l' sam kriv ja za sve
il' to je sudbina
Ref.
Eh da bar sam ti rekao
koliko posebna si
mozda ne bih ni gledao
kako odlazis s njim
Ref. 3x
Pijem da zaboravim
The lyric opens on “Pijem da zaboravim,” a compact detail that makes the larger feeling legible. There is no need to treat every first-person line as autobiography. The lyric constructs a speaker through what they repeat, what they exaggerate and which details they choose to disclose. That distinction is especially useful here: performance and feeling can coexist without being identical. The song’s unresolved edges are not a flaw to explain away; they are part of its expressive design.
The song uses the directness of regional pop and folk-pop writing: the refrain makes the emotional premise immediately graspable, while the verses supply a more particular character and situation. That familiarity is not automatically a weakness. The best moments come when the narrative complicates the hook, letting affection coexist with regret, pride with doubt, or humour with a genuinely difficult feeling. That choice matters because the speaker is not simply reporting an emotion; the lyric stages how it is reached. The verses add complications that the refrain cannot entirely settle, so repetition feels less like a final answer than another attempt to make one persuasive. This gap between declaration and evidence is where the song becomes a character portrait rather than a generic statement.
Its online history is more readily documented than its critical reception. The matching video on Grand Specijal dates to 2017-01-22 and displayed 152,425 views on 14 October 2026. Those views establish repeated access to this upload, not a sales or broadcast ranking, and cannot stand for the entire audience. I did not find a dependable chart listing or independent song-specific review.
