A sick mind in a healthy body
A sad soul in a healthy body
A desperate mind in a healthy body
A frightened mind in a healthy body
So what do we do now?
Bravoooo Serbia, fantastic
Masterpiece!!!❤
Key to understanding this song is symbolism. Meghan Markle's hair symbolizes public beauty/celebrity obsession. Liver and spleen - again, mentioned in the context of appereance (!), do you need more? She puts her trust in autonomous nervous system, why? Because there's little else to put the trust in. Creepy, but true. And the last few verses are a powerful condemnation of overall social superficiality. The whole song/performance is a reflection of modern world. It is weird and creepy just as much as the whole world is. This woman is giving us an opportunity to think. But we may choose naked butts and vocal exhibitionism instead. Serbia has made its choice and I'm proud of it.
Serbian ❤🧡💛
no need extra makeup to that pretty face of yours. lovely reaction honest one too. I am sure she will sing in Serbian and Latin but for sure she will find a way to show some messages of this song. Dont forget this performance was for Serbian jury and televote. What I like about your reaction, you put attention on rhythm, face expression, music, visuals too. Long time till May, I would say already strong qualifier now, but we must wait and see how she will present. She is true artist and architect, so i am expecting only better staging and delivering in May
It's not my coment, but it's certainly the best explanation. By the way, this song doesn't deserve this competition, like eurosong. This is pure art and tatal avantgarde.
Lyrics may seem a bit silly at first, they are actually dead serious. There are so many layers to the song and a lot of space for different interpretations:
The name of the song "In corpore sano" is in Latin and means "In a healthy body". It’s referring to the Latin saying "Mens sana in corpore sano" meaning "A healthy mind in a healthy body".
- First: What is the secret to Meghan Markle's healthy hair? This is a reference to modern society's obsession with beauty! That's what beauty magazines do/they create insecurities about your hair, skin, weight, etc., and then advertise products that promise to change that. That's what the second line of the song is about "I think that the secret is in deep hydration"
- Second: Konstrakta talks about how our skin and hair often signal some health issues, for example, liver and spleen problems. The reason she is thinking this is because she's worried about her own health, she can't visit a doctor for a check-up or get treatment because she doesn't have insurance, this is so important because independent artists in Serbia don't have health insurance.
- Third: Then we hear her saying how an artist must be healthy, a reference to Marina Abramovic’s (internationally known Serbian performance artist) performances called “Art must be pretty, an artist must be pretty” where she sits for hours combing her hair while repeating that cause she realized people focused a lot on her looks and her hair being messy and prioritized that over her art, and the reason she needs to be healthy is that she can't afford to get treatment.
- Fourth: the "Autonomic nervous system" part talks about how we don't need to control our own heartbeats. She describes how she walks her dog, on a beautiful summer day, her heart beats on its own, it doesn't need to get any better. She just puts her trust in her heart hoping it won't fail her (if it does fail her then that's it, the doctors won't help her and she made peace with that), and that's why she prays to God, "God give us health".
- Fifth: She then says "I DON'T HAVE THE HEALTH INSURANCE!" (Even with "free" health insurance we are still paying a lot for medications, fees, etc. We are always paying insurance through salaries, for both employed and unemployed, and if you don't have "free" health insurance, you are paying way more, which is a situation with independent artists in Serbia.)
- Sixth: Phrase "Boze zdravlja"/"God grant us health". This is a common saying, we use it all the time, and you will always hear people wishing other people good health (for their birthday, or really any holiday) because everything else (money, fame, love...) becomes meaningless if you are ill and in pain. She then says, the artist (she) is invisible, you can't see me, it's magic because she is invisible to health care, they won't treat her!
- Seventh: Now, last part, it's basically the old Latin saying: Mens sana in corpore sano (A healthy mind in a healthy body), except that Konstrakta makes it clear that only the body is healthy, the soul inside is desperate, we are all obsessed with improving our health, we try to eat better, be more active, take all those expensive drugs and supplements, but what about our mind?
Mens infirma in corpore sano - Weak mind in a healthy body
Animus tristis in corpore sano - A sad soul in a healthy body
Mens desperata in corpore sano - Desperate mind in a healthy body
Mens conterrita in corpore sano - A frightened mind in a healthy body
The endless chanting of the mantra about a healthy body is destroyed by enumerating the weaknesses of the mind and soul from which no health can be born. The final verse of the song "and what are we going to do now" is a jargon of common sense cold shower which was poured over the mass media propaganda about a healthy body without a healthy mind and soul, after making that clear she asks us - So what do we do now?
Now about the handwashing:
1) She is dressed in white, she symbolizes the health care system (she reminds us of a nurse for example) and she is washing her hands. Why? Because of covid? NO! It is a metaphor about how health care workers need to "wash their hands off" meaning clear their conscience when they refuse to treat you because you don't have insurance. Just like when Pontius Pilate washed his hands before the crucifixion of Jesus - he tried to clear his conscience and make it clear that he wasn't the one who killed Jesus - it was the Law. In the same way, many people in the government or in positions are washing their hands off and can't help you because of the Law.
2) People standing behind her can be priests that pray for her health and/or are getting ready for her to die.
I'm predicting this to win, no need to change the language. I'm ready to bet money on it.
Thank you from 🇷🇸
She starts with reversed lyrics meaning that people's priorities have gone backwards what will later be revealed as spiritual and mental loss. But also has that dark satanic twist that give more questions than answers. Will you check runners up Sara Jo and Zorja. They were top favourites up to the final while Konstrakta came out of nowhere and surprised everyone. Konstrakta has already over 10 million views and is number one in several countries and is on Hollywood top list. It could be dark horse if staging is perfect in Turin. Serbia said that they will have some lyrics on video screen. Serbia didn't want to end up again on middle of the board with a ballad (Zorja) or pop song (Sara Jo) though they we're great songs but decided to take a risk with something new and original.
Be hetly, Serbia is winer Eurosong 2022 🙏🙏😊😊😊BOŽE ZDRAVLJA 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Iovde si se uglavila,pa kako te ne mrzi da komentarises isto na milion videa,a sve samo da bi kazala da si ti iz srbije i iz te zemlje o kojoj se toliko govori,smesna si ,dokona pre svega
Konstrakta 🇷🇸= IQ Test for Europe 🌻
Unfortunately most people never learn in the school about how to analyse the poetry. The main thing is to try understanding the metaphorical meaning of the song 🎵 (this definitely isn't an usual la-la-laaa Eurovision song) 😎
The best one 👍
Omg thank you for reading my thread along the song
No thank YOU, the thread is amazing! :)
Wait a minute, this is Croatian Eurovision Club and you do not understand the lyrics?
Emily is from the UK. :)
@@HrvatskiEurovizijskiKlub a ha, OK, clear.
@@HrvatskiEurovizijskiKlub Then why is it a "Croatian" Eurovision Club? :D
To better understand, turn on subtitles/cc. It is actually pure artistic theater play in four acts packed in just 3 min. covered with a fantastically arranged musical matrix around a hypnotic rhythm, which perfectly follows the story told with a vocal that vibrates as part of the music (take attention for all details). Enough to be a masterpiece, even in the selection of the famous theater festival in Edinburgh. And the story is as follows Intro - EVERYTHING IS UPSIDE DOWN A modified Latin saying: a sick mind in a healthy body was read backwards.
Act one - ROUTINE We waste our time following celebrities and other people's lives, and discuss about them, about nonsense through the social networks (what is the secret of healthy hair Megan Markl). It's going even deeper. This became normal behaviours and it is compared with health, healthy behaviour. So, expectation is that artress also must be part of this "normal behaviours" (MUST be healthy).
Act two - LONELINESS We are now part of this routines, some system control our fundamental functions (heart ticking and breathing), we are alive, in virtual world and it's OK. But we are alone. No children, no friends, only dog. We are walking satisfied but without sense, with empty mind (counting steps, and that's all).
Act three - COGNITION Knjižica in Serbian is not only social security, but it's also symbol of belonging to some system or organisation as a member What if I am not a member? If I'm out of system? We will lost our followers, others will not monitor us anymore (what was normal, healthy), nobody will "care" about us, or organize our life (what was normal, healthy), and artress become invisible when she is out of system.
Act four - WAKING UP The absence of system influence artress see like a magic, becouse it means independence, so she CAN be healthy, with open mind, according to Latin saying "men sana in corpore sano" (healthy mind in healthy body). Can be, can be, can be.
conclusion - WHAT'S ABOUT MIND? Everything is about body condition (corpore sano, corpore sano, corpus is sano - and body is healthy), but no one talks about the state of mind. So, she mentions those states of mind and ask: And what shell we do?
And finally, the messages from the stage and the video. When health is mentioned, hand movements show that something is not normal. We need to be washed constantly, to be clean. Our mind same as our body. Either others will do it or we will do it ourselves. Again and again...
So, regardless of the placement, its appearance is a victory for Serbia and the Eurovision Song Contest
Serbia ❤️ Konstrakta ❤️
Pa pitajte nekog farmaceuta ,reći će vam poruku.Loše ste shvatili pesmu.Cela pesma i scenski nastup je u sublimatima i porukama.Ne može svako da shvati i razume pesmu razumem vas.Pesma je izvan la,la,la. Pesma šalje jasne poruke vezane za protekle dve godine,lošem zdravstvenom sistemu.zaključavanju ljudi,pranje ruke gde i zdravstvo i vlade peru ruke od onoga što su uradili ljudima.I naravno ,stah i psiha i šta ćemo sad .Zdravi ljudi na izgled a unutra bolestan um.I šta ćemo sad?
The title of the song is inverted words in Latin that say that nothing is as it seems but the opposite. It is not a healthy spirit but a sick spirit in a healthy body. This is a sarcastic critique of corporate globalism that brainwashes us with banalities, superficial and false values through the mass media, controls our movements and counts steps (during a pandemic we could only go outside to walk a dog). But they cannot control our heart and especially the heart of the artists who are our beacons. She does not have a health card, so they cannot register, monitor and control her (all in the name of health). She is invisible to them and therefore free. That is why the artist must be healthy.
GREAT...
The main massage is in Latin so that everyone can understand. It's dead language but still alive and well in medicine and science.
8 Punti 🇭🇷
Mene je sramota pa oni ne mogu procitati nsziv pesme vtf Midlim ono latincki je izvorno vas jezik Mene sramota na vas racun
You dont GET......it
I tried my best! I read the meaning of the lyrics, which most casual ESC viewers won’t even do. -E
Danke Deutschland, watch Croatia's 1991 and react on that, the language od 1
She is talking about free artists in Serbia not having free health care, not in general... And you completely missed the point of the song... Such a shallow approach to this
