Prikaze

Prikaze (Monsters or Creatures) is a song by Edo Maajka. It is the third and final single from his 2002 debut album, Slušaj Mater.

The song's lyrics are inspired by a story Edo's grandfather told him when he was young. The story is about his grandfather's trip back home after a night of drinking. While on his way home, he passed by a cemetery, where a black cat jumped in front of him, stood still in his path and wouldn't move, and would hiss at him when he would approach it. He threw a rock at it, which caused it to run away.

The lyrics are about Edo's creepy, drunken trip back home from a party late at night. While on his way home, he passes through a forest, when his watch hits midnight. He starts hearing strange noises all around him. He then encounters monsters, and runs away. He escapes from the forest and soon reaches a cemetery. While passing through the cemetery, he encounters the black cat from his grandfather's story. He starts running and eventually reaches his home.

A music video was filmed for the song. In the video, Edo is sent to a mental hospital because he is haunted in his dreams by troll-like creatures. While in the hospital, Edo slowly starts going insane and starts hallucinating that the hospital staff and patients are turning into weird, disfigured creatures. He is put in a straitjacket and a wheelchair. While he's being wheeled through the hospital, he hallucinates more of those creatures. He freaks out, gets up from the wheelchair and runs away. He locks himself in a padded room only to realize that he is cornered by the creatures. The video ends with Edo himself turning into one of the creatures as well.
