Zmowa
De Mono Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Powoli z błyskiem w oczach
Ty niszczysz mnie od środka
To zmowa ja to wiem
Ta zdrada jak choroba
Ty znów przeciwko mnie ja to wiem
Uciekłaś i zdradziłaś
Ja wtedy byłem słaby
I biłem głową w mur

Nie mogłem nic poradzić
Nie czułem smaku twoich ust
Ty znów przeciwko mnie ja to wiem
Nie czułem smaku twoich ust

Ty znów przeciwko mnie ja to wiem
Ja to wiem ty znów przeciwko mnie ja to wiem

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song Zmowa by De Mono are about a toxic relationship between two people. The male narrator speaks of his partner who is slowly destroying him from the inside out. He knows that she is conspiring against him, that her betrayal is like a disease. She had left and betrayed him when he was weak and vulnerable, and he was helpless and unable to do anything. He had been hitting his head against the wall, unable to taste her lips or feel her love. Despite all of this, he still acknowledges that he knows she is against him.

The lyrics and the music of Zmowa work together to create an atmosphere of tension and foreboding. The repetitive nature of the lyrics serves to emphasize the repetitive and cyclical nature of the relationship. The use of metaphors such as betrayal being like a disease adds an emotional depth that helps to create a more vivid and meaningful story.
