De Mono i granice
De Mono Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oni się nigdy nigdy nie spotkają
Granice i mury na mapach rozsiane
Nie dają im nigdy szansy na spotkanie
Oni się nigdy nigdy nie zobaczą
Zakazy i prawa przez nich wymyślone
Dniami i nocami granice strzeżone

Granice

Zawsze tak daleko tak dalecy sobie
Oni się nigdy nie spotkają
Nigdy się nie znali nigdy nie poznają

Oni się nigdy nie zobaczą

Zakazy i prawa przez nich wymyślone
Dniami i nocami granice strzeżone

Overall Meaning

The song "De Mono i granice" by De Mono is a powerful and evocative exploration of the theme of separation and division caused by borders and boundaries. The opening lines of the song set the tone for this exploration, with the repeated refrain "Oni się nigdy nigdy nie spotkają" ("They will never, never meet"), highlighting the sense of distance and disconnection that is created by borders and boundaries.

The song goes on to suggest that these borders and boundaries are not naturally occurring or inevitable, but rather are imposed by humans through laws and regulations. This is conveyed through the lines "Zakazy i prawa przez nich wymyślone/Dniami i nocami granice strzeżone" ("Rules and laws created by them/ Borders guarded day and night"), which point to the fact that borders are not simply natural or objective, but are rather the product of human intervention.

The song's overall message is a poignant one, emphasizing the tragedy of separation and division caused by borders and boundaries. The repeated refrain of "Oni się nigdy nigdy nie zobaczą" ("They will never, never see each other") serves as a powerful reminder of the deep sense of loss and isolation that can result from the creation of borders and boundaries between people.
