The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Inje" by the artist "Vanja Radovanovi#263;"

The poem "Inje" ("Frost") by Montenegrin author Vanja Radovanović depicts a lyrical hero experiencing profound sadness and loss, likely stemming from a separation from a loved one.

The image of frost, permeating the entire poem, symbolizes the coldness and alienation that have gripped the hero after the loss. "Frost has fallen upon us," he says, indicating that this coldness has affected both lovers.

Despite outward restraint, the hero is internally torn apart by pain: his blood runs cold, his heart clenches. He tries to forget, but "love trembles like an aspen leaf" within him, giving him no peace.

The metaphors "the quilted jacket warms my body in vain" and "my soul is blown through" vividly convey the hero's emotional suffering, which cannot be soothed by external warmth.

The hero's life has no meaning: "I live meaninglessly, / Losing even when I win." He compares himself to "a slave in solitary confinement," emphasizing his loneliness and despair.

However, when alone, the hero allows himself to indulge in memories of love: "But when no one sees, / I let you visit my heart… / But when no one hears, / I let my heart rejoice."

This suggests that love has not faded; it hides deep inside, like "the most precious toy" that he keeps hidden from prying eyes.

The final line, "Frost has fallen…", sounds like a bitter acceptance of the inevitable: coldness and loneliness have become an integral part of the hero's life.
