Kawał Chleba
Brown Lyrics

In "Kawał Chleba" by Brown, the lyrics convey a sense of disillusionment and frustration with the world. The opening lines, "Stojąc twarzą w twarz / Przytłacza cie ogromem swoim świat" (Standing face to face / The world overwhelms you with its enormity), suggest that the singer feels overwhelmed by the vastness and complexities of life. They express their disappointment by cursing the heavens for all the tears shed and futilely seeking answers about their destiny.

The refrain, "Nie szukaj światła w ludzkich sercach / Nie znajdziesz tam nic" (Don't look for light in human hearts / You won't find anything there), further emphasizes the disillusionment, implying that the singer has lost faith in the goodness or empathy of others. It reflects a belief that searching for solace or guidance in people's hearts will yield nothing.

The second verse introduces a contrasting image of a metaphorical "kawał chleba" (a piece of bread) as a gift from heaven. The singer recalls laying down this piece of bread when they prayed without faith. The line "Oczy twoje powiedziały mi" (Your eyes told me) suggests that they could discern the lack of belief in the other person's eyes. It implies that the singer had some sort of spiritual connection or understanding with this person, leading them to believe that cursing the heavens and seeking destiny in vain is pointless.

The concluding lines serve as a reminder that no matter where the wind carries one's thoughts, time does not heal wounds or provide solace. The advice to not place faith in the boundless heavens indicates a loss of belief in a higher power or the idea that destiny is predetermined.
