In Serbian, the word 'more' means 'nightmare'. The song's lyrics and melody carry a sense of melancholy. They convey the pain of not attaining one's dreams and the determination to pursue a better life despite that pain. The song discusses the artist's struggle with recurring nightmares and the resulting depression and isolation. Even amidst these difficulties, she longs for someone to stand by her, understand her, pat her on the head, and provide comfort.
