Vitane
Dawid Podsiadło Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Than one could afford to imagine
Self-centeredness will bring me down
You'll lose your heart
Every now and then I wonder
When my selfishness is over
We die too quickly
Every now and then I wonder
Shutters closed he didn't hold her
He has no family
Love is seeing someone next to us
Not trying to look away
Home is smiling to someone who knows
He chose the wrong way
Every now and then I wonder
Why people are dying of hunger
While we throw away full plates, pure ignorance
Every now and then I wonder
Why we tend to forget
It's a miracle we're living
Love is seeing someone next to us
Not trying to look away
Home is smiling to someone who knows
He chose the wrong way
Don't moan, skies are falling and it has all
Changed the direction of your hope
Just go between the love and hate it's your place to stay Going remember that
Love is seeing someone next to us
Not trying to look away
Home is smiling to someone who knows
He chose the wrong way
The song "Vitane" by Dawid Podsiadło is a call to reflect on one's own selfishness and the importance of love and compassion towards others. The opening lyrics ask the listener to realize that what they have in their life is more than one could imagine, and that selfishness will ultimately bring them down. The chorus emphasizes the importance of love, saying that it means truly seeing and not turning away from those around us, and that home is being able to smile at someone who knows they took the wrong path.
The second verse continues this theme, asking why people die of hunger while others waste food and forget the miracle of simply being alive. The lyrics also touch on the fleeting nature of life, wondering when our selfishness is over, and why some people end up with no family or support system.
Overall, "Vitane" is a powerful reminder to look beyond ourselves and our own needs, and to remember the value of love and connection with others. It encourages listeners to stay grounded in their place between love and hate, and to appreciate the miracle of being alive.
