Pralnia Mózgów
Cela Nr 3 Lyrics

The lyrics of the song "Pralnia Mózgów" by Cela Nr 3 paint a dark and dystopian picture of a society where individuals are treated like animals and imprisoned in cages. The first line, "Złapią cię jak zwierzę i wsadzą do klatki" (They will catch you like an animal and put you in a cage), signifies the loss of personal freedom and autonomy. The following line, "Ostatnie co zobaczysz to obraz swojej matki" (The last thing you will see is the image of your mother), suggests that the individual is stripped of their identity and everything that is familiar, leaving them with a profound sense of loss.

The chorus, "Nowy zakład otwieramy pralnia mózgów, Wszystkich chętnych zapraszamy do pralni mózgów" (We are opening a new institution, the brain laundry, We invite all volunteers to the brain laundry), introduces the concept of a brain laundry, a place where people willingly surrender their thoughts and individuality. The metaphorical brain laundry represents a repressive system that seeks to control and manipulate people's minds.

The second verse continues the dark narrative, describing a process of mind alteration. "Usłyszysz cichy gwizd poczujesz ból pod czaszką" (You will hear a faint whistle, feel pain under your skull) suggests a painful and invasive procedure. The line, "I nim się zorientujesz już będziesz pustą paczką" (And before you realize it, you will already be an empty package), illustrates the complete erasure of one's personality and thoughts.

The final lines, "Nie będziesz zdolny myśleć mózg uległ likwidacji, Nie będziesz zdolny patrzeć bo brak informacji" (You won't be able to think, your brain has been eliminated, You won't be able to see because there will be no information), further emphasize the loss of individuality and critical thinking in this oppressive society. The song serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting the dangers of conformity and the erosion of personal freedom.
