While there is no official interpretation of "Zatvor", the song tells the story of how a patriotic man is put in jail for stealing, hoping to make it out. It is implied in the lyrics that this man is framed. | While there is no official interpretation of "Zatvor", the song tells the story of how a patriotic man is put in jail for stealing, hoping to make it out.

The song may have been based off of an experience Baja had while traveling in March of 1993 where he and Cvetin Todorović were detained in a prison in St. Gallen for reasons that were unclear. His detainment only lasted for about two hours and was subsequently let go. The line "Pao sam, drugi su krivi" may be a reference to how a murder in the area caused the authorities to increase their presence. The line "opet sam krao" may be in reference to when Swiss authorities requested to see proof of purchase, thinking that Baja stole some CDs.<ref>"У Швајцарском затвору". ''Sabor''. 21 November 1994.

"Na srcu mnogo rana ima. U njima vlada večna zima. Na bolnoj duši ožiljci stoje. to su tragovi prošlosti moje" - is the intro phrase. | |||
(There are many wounds on my heart. They are lead by eternal winter. Scars remain on my aching soul. They are traces of my past.) | |||
The video starts showing outside of a prison, and Baja behind bars. It then switches to him breaking rocks with a hammer. Next scene shows Baja singing from behind bars and it briefly switches to prison's interior, specifically, a cell and process of giving food, before going back to Baja singing the chorus. It then goes to show prisoners splitting a loaf of bread and people looking out from a window. A woman then comes to Baja and they kiss through the bars and they hold hands. She lights him a cigarette, touches his face, and leaves. He sings alone before the video ends, when they both leave the prison with Baja wearing a suit. | |||
