Lyric 'Koja li je tajna zdrave kose Megan Markel', or in English - What's the secret to a healthy hair of Meghan Markel? - has literally nothing to do with Meghan Markel. It paints clickbait tabloid titles about health, and how tabloids are swaying public thinking on what should be desirable, which no one can achieve. This causes serious mental issues in many. The rest of the lyrics in that verse actually follow the analysis by tabloids, and their bullshitting game. Btw those are her own words. Second verse is 'relief bounce', or 'I don't really care' attitude about tabloid titles, it's relaxed, thinks nothing about it, body takes care about itself, and we enjoy life, and then - plot twist I don't have medical insurance! So the anxiety goes up because of that. And anxiety isn't good for the mental health. Which is kinda ironic that something that is meant to help you is causing you anxiety. No need to explain the ending.

Fun fact: the irony in Konstrakta’s appearance at Eurovision is in the fact that she had no intention of going to Turin, but entered the Serbian national selection merely to promote her Triptih and In Corpore Sano was submitted only because it was the only one that fitted the Eurovision’s regulations about the 3-minute entry. She had no idea it would resonate so much with the public and was genuinely shocked when she won.

I do not think he nailed it. The Latin part is obviously a critique of politics towards Covid-19. Lockdowns, travel bans, scaring people by producing panic around Covid-19, mass testing, not allowing us to live freely and happily. Now it has stopped to some extent due to the war in Ukraine, but if you remember, when this song was written, it was constantly reported how many people were newly ill, how many died, how many were on a respirator ... Look now at what is happening in Shanghai. THIS is what is being talked about, it is criticized that so much emphasis in modern medicine and in science and society is placed on a healthy body, at the cost of a desperate mind, a sick mind, pressure on people, depression. They took away our normal life, happiness and well-being and our sanity for two years. I do not know why he did not mention it, whether because he did not understand or did not dare to say it. However, he did give some interesting views on the song's mesages that I did not grasp before (e.g. gender issues etc.).

Fun fact: Konstrakta is indeed a full graduated architect.

Serbian entry: A young woman, in her 40s, mother of two, with an actual University degree (Architecture) gets on the stage, blows everyone's mind, all while fully dressed and just sitting and washing hands. Empress. From the song start till the end, all eyes are on her. And on top of that performance her song carries incredibly strong message about overwhelming "health" information every woman reads in magazines, promoted by celebrities and impact on one's mental health. She replicates compulsive behavior of all humanity: "Be healthy, be healthy, be healthy, be healthy..." and in the song finale twists famous Latin proverb pointing to a conclusion: "When your body becomes healthy, what about your mental health?" All those magazines bring readers in a state of "health" paranoia, while your mind becomes sick, sad, desperate and frightened. Truly a masterpiece. Song has so many layers that you can analyze for hours, from reverse Latin start, to powerful Latin ending, all packed in perfect theatrical delivery. This song is simply beyond Eurovision. It belongs in a museum. This is an excellent song analysis for those who don't immediately see the power of this song: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nZOYz6hvqKu0Ydo.html&ab_channel=OverthinkingIt

"Mekano" has nothing to do with work/life balance. Mekano means "soft", and in the song sense perfect translation would probably be "Limp". Chorus is "curse to "mekano"". The song is a triptih ending. First one: you live your mediocre life knowing about "more", but never experiencing, the second: you spend a lifetime obsessing on health and looks, but you mind is going paranoid, and finally the third song, condemns life spent in a comfort zone. Lyrics in "mekano" talk about discussions she's having at home, i.e about neolibarilism, about everyday work, where the point is that she is just living a life in mediocre comfort zone. "Curse the comfort zone" - that's what chorus of "mekano" translates and is the point of triptih.

It's always easier to let others create for you. 🙂 Her "The artist is present" can be meaningful only as a psychological anti-art gimmick, in which those who understood the point actually didn't attend the performance - i.e. did not serve as the proof that people are so lonely and vulnerable that they need their idol or role model to "comfort" them in the absence of closer ones. Otherwise, as a straight-forward art it's nothing.

As someone who is also a Slav, there is one thing I picked up on in the first part of the song. Older generations here still cling desperately to natural health, remedies, the theory that you can see most ailments just by examining the body externally. Most of these theories, despite some being actually true (such as the liver one), come from a time long before professional healthcare was available and attainable. The pesky spots/enlarged spleen part give off a vibe of fixating on these old wives tales because if you do not notice it yourself, then without access to a doctor, no one will.

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.

Konstrakta for the win 👑🏆🥇🏆👑

Great analysis:) just wanted to add that throughout the whole song you can hear rhythm of a heartbeat (once you notice it, it cannot be unheard again).

The "heart beats on its own" lyric was interpreted by me as something different. Like, we are living in a life full of anxiety, we want to control everything on our lives, and how amazing is our autonomic nervous system that makes heart to beat on its own so we don't have to control that too. I love the fact that everyone sees something different, yet we can all relate more or less to the central message of the song. Incredible song and performance! So artistic ♥️

I voted for Her. It was amazing. Second public result.

I always connected her comment on the autonomic nervous system with the theme of health insurance, like "good thing my body functions on its own since I don't have health insurance."

I just love her. At last, an artist that made us all THINK, and raised so many questions. She showed us her soul and made us look into ours. About time we did. Thank you Konstrakta. You are beautiful.

A few years ago, a member of the band died of cancer. As a freelance artist in Serbia, he did not have health insurance. This is one of the motives that runs through the song, in addition to the obsession with trivial things and various other messages that Konstrakta sends with this great song.

Also we could not do that and go directly to a private doctor although if he/she is a good one they will charge a lot. b) Go to a pharmacy in which they have a doctor (usually a recently graduated doctor, fresh out from med school), having an appointment and hope for the best. Sometimes these doctors are good, sometimes they aren't. Is basically a bet. c) Die. So yeah, Konstrukta's song was my favorite for so many reasons and I really wanted her to win although, in my humble opinion, I think she did in the public's eyes by getting a catchy song with a dark and deep meaning.

Just a casual reminder that Serbia won over Ukraine in 2007... because of politics. Most people are surprised to this day Dancing Lasha Tumbai didn't take first place... So yeah, with how Shum and Verka were let down before, at least Kalush won, even if TVORCHI came sixth thanks to judges deciding to award Sweden for no good reason.

Excellent analysis!!! 👍👍👍 Konstrakta 🇷🇸= IQ Test for Europe 🇪🇺

This host is a perfect example of how teaching should work, everything explained in a positive matter, interesting and motivating, great job !!!

I'm so amazed by your explanations and the people in the comments' points of view. I don't think there was ever again such a multi layered song in Eurovision.

Best review ever. The rest ones reviewing are like " oHhHHh I dOn"T UndeRsTaaaaanNd"

That's the most original song in years. It's a masterpiece

Congratulations mate. You nailed the explanation. Genuinely surprised to see someone who is not a native Serbian speaker not just to understand the song but also discover its layers and hidden meanings. You did a hell of a job with research and presented everything in a clear and interesting manner. Awesome job!

Serbia for the Win!!!!

I agree...

Hello! Great overthinking analisys! Mind that not only in Serbia, but also anywhere in the world, especialy in countries where health insurance is a matter of money / wealth, it is dificult to get adequate health care. Also the flowers on her blouse are Coronations, or in Latin - Corona family. People were realy scared and there were many misconceptions (at least), but now are "washing their" hands, like Pontius Pilate... some (very few) are being arrested (pharmaceutical companies, etc...), some (very few) are hold acountable, some (very few) have earned a lot of money, but most of us ordinary people were left with sick and scared minds ... and now what shall we do?!?

From Paris 🇨🇵🇩🇿 ..Our democratic (French Télévoting) should and Méritée ...À...Laaa...SERBIIIIIEE !🥰🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸

getting ready for Konstrakta to DEMOLISH the semi finals tomorrow

thank you, now I understand it fully and love it even more

Konstrskta is a Geniuelly Woman !

Konstrakta is using sign language, too. Her movement of hands followed by words bit, bit is a sign for applause. Marina Abramovic explained that she always believed that art should be provocative and shocking, not pretty. Konstrakta's song is exactly that. It shocked us at first, but then makes us think. Also, it is personal story about her not having health insurance, but she represents all people in the world without health insurance. Her massage is we need to find our little things that makes us calm and happy, our inner peace. For her it is walking a dog, nature ( flowers in her pocket), art. She is dressed as a nurse because she believes art can help the world to be a better place.

The choreographer is a true genius of this theatrical performance. What he did combined a message of society in healthy body but rotten soul and mentally disturbed mind. Over washing hands due to covid will not wash our inner self. While the choreographer used a moment from Sharon Stone Movie Basic instinct and crossing legs ( brutality of Kardashian TV reality) 1.30 min and then using a hand over her face from Marline Dietrich movie ''Blue Angel'' 2.16 min that's just genius.

it was my favorite song at the eurofestival and I would have bet it had a profound meaning.. and there it is!

I have never felt so important in life 🥲

amazing analysis!!... This is a level of artistic performance we didn't sow ages on Eurovision. She is the real artist who Cast pearls before swine.

In an itw she said that the verse where she speak about Megan Marjle's hair is a real magazine title ! She said,that it title a huge secret about Megan Markle's helth hair but it's nothing about a big secret expect clickbait ! I'm obsessed with this song and singer ! I cant stop thinking about it, and it my favorite song of Euro vision 2022 🤩👌

Serbia Had difrent song something new in Eurosong and we proud

The best commentary on this song by far. Excellent! You unveiled all of the layers. clapp

When concern for our physical health becomes an obsession, mental health will suffer.

Actually, i think she nailed with her interpretation. GREAT performance.

Bravooo ! You nailed with explanation of (time will tell) Iconic , revolutionar Konstrakta's song on Eurovision 2022 ! Level above all in her own league .

well, this is what one gets when one does a great review...200 k views. done well, good work.

I love that song

Konstrakta is so intelligent and I wish her luck; really hope that she'll win

what an interesting analysis! thank you for helping me understand the song more. i admit i was a bit wierded out by this when i saw it on the night, but now i love what it stands for

I think the mental health angle is the predominant one. The Meghan Markle line is about inward health abandoned for beauty - beauty is outward-looking health. Mental health is inside, if you're mentally unhealthy it's invisible. So Meghan Markle is beautiful and outwardly healthy and everyone focuses on looking outwardly healthy. We all abandon mental health. Props for the bit about 'the outro is in Latin because she can't communicate her mental health' - that's great.

One added angle just occurred to me reading your comment. Meghan Markle herself is someone who had serious mental health issues (she even had suicidal thoughts) but she had to keep them carefully hidden. At least until the Oprah thing. So even the person that Konstrakta aspires to emulate is struggling inwardly.

Damn I didn't expect a clip from the Elektropop party. I was there, as a photographer. It was a very young crowd and they went crazy when the song started playing. You did one hell of a job researching for this video. Great analysis.

Love this song.

I love the song! Great analyze!

One more message: You should just enjoy a moment. The thing we don't do as we are stuck with our overthinking.

I watched this video 3 times in the last day 😀 I love overthinking and this just makes me appreciate the song even more. Thank you ❤️

Wow, you really studed this song

That part about noticing the skirt flying around her leg while walking the dog is not about her being aware of how she appears to others, its about living in the present moment, something Eckhart Tolle talks about.

This is not overthinking, this is a proper analisys and a damn good one.

Fantastic overthinking

This song is a prediction, our destiny...

Thank you for this informative and deep, yet relatable analysis. The numerous mind-boggling messages behind this piece of pure art should be reaching more people! It really makes you put a finger on the forehead. Thank you for being a part of it and spreading the word, as this masterpiece deserves!

When the first line was reversed 😱

OMG, the first great explanation! well done, Sir! thank you

Wow, you did an amazing job here. Thanks.

I am so happy that non-serbian spekaer can understand the layers of Triptih and In Corpore Sano as a part of it. ❤👍

I didnt even realize the first part was talking backwards in latin LOL

SO glad that you've done an excellent deep dive & analysis on Konsrakta's Eurovision song which is, in my opinion, the most lyrically and artistically complex of all the entries this year, thank you!

Great song, great analysis.

I would like to add one thing. Namely, the part referring to a dog, skirt and taking a walk goes: Letnjeg dana, jarke boje (Summer day, Vivid colors) Suknje moje na mom telu, suknje moje, pas i ja (Skirts on my body, my skirts, dog and I) Šetamo nas dvoje, brojimo korake (We are taking a walk together, we count our steps) Suknja ide oko noge moje, mi šetamo i to je sve (The skirt goes around my leg, we walk, and that's all there is) in the last part "i to je sve", means "and that's all there is". It refers to the absurdity of her action because she is not taking "inner enjoyment" in her "taking care of her health". She has a skirt, a dog and that's it, devoid of meaning. It is just as her mind is empty because any other intruding thought could deteriorate her health, even though her body might be "healthy" :) There are also much more philosophical depth in the song in other parts as well. Great job! Greetings from Serbia :)

Yeah I think in retrospect we really missed the point of the second verse. We seized on the skirt as being about her appearance, but I think the song pivots away from the tabloid obsession on appearance and more towards mental health. Gotta say, if we'd known this video would get watched so much we might have spent a few more days on it, because we left a lot unexplored!
