Słonidarność
Świetliki Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dziecko przewraca się w wyrku
Dzień dzisiaj jest kreatywny bardzo
Słoń zrobił kupę w cyrku
Widziano na mieście kobietę ciężarną
Dziecko przewraca się w wyrku
Wszystkiemu winna jest solidarność
The first verse of Świetliki's song Słonidarność tells a story of a pregnant woman who was seen in the city. Her child is moving and turning in her womb, causing discomfort. The second line talks about a "wyrk", which is a Polish slang term for a difficult situation or a mess. This line could be interpreted as the child causing chaos, or it could be a metaphor for the state of the world. The third line, "Dzień dzisiaj jest kreatywny bardzo" (Today is a very creative day) could be ironic, as the previous two lines describe difficult or unpleasant situations. The final line of the verse, "Słoń zrobił kupę w cyrku" (The elephant pooped in the circus), sounds like a non sequitur, but could represent something unexpected and disruptive happening in an already chaotic situation.
The chorus, "Wszystkiemu winna jest solidarność" (Solidarity is to blame for everything), repeats the same line twice. It could be interpreted as blaming the idea of solidarity for the chaos and mess in the world, or it could be a commentary on the failures of actual solidarity movements. The repetition of the line could also suggest a feeling of hopelessness or despair.
Overall, the song seems to be a commentary on the state of the world, with its chaos and unpredictability. The themes of pregnancy, birth, and creation suggest a sense of rebirth or renewal, but the chaotic imagery in the lyrics suggests that any new beginning will be difficult and messy.
