Zatrute powietrze
Dezerter Lyrics

The lyrics to Dezerter's song "Zatrute powietrze" (Poisoned Air) depict a sense of suffocation and confinement in the singer's life. They feel that their clothing is too tight, the walls of their room are too close, and the crowded bus is squeezing the life out of them. The line "Nie mam czym oddychać w powietrzu jest gaz" (I have nothing to breathe, the air is filled with gas) suggests a toxic atmosphere, both figuratively and literally.

The song also points out the presence of wild patrols controlling the streets, constantly surveilling the singer's every move. There is a lack of space for both the singer and the listeners, symbolizing a societal pressure and the feeling of being trapped. The repetition of the line "Nie mam czym oddychać w powietrzu jest gaz" reinforces the idea that the poisoned air metaphorically represents a suffocating environment, something that is detrimental to one's well-being.

The lyrics then take a deeper turn, suggesting that there is poison in people's minds, corrupting their bodies and spreading throughout society. The "chora wyobraźnia" (sick imagination) threatens existence, and the insanity of the collective takes a toll on the singer. However, in the final lines, the singer claims that they cannot be scared anymore and that no one can force them to escape. Despite the lack of escape or relief from the poisoned air, the singer refuses to be intimidated, indicating a sense of resilience.
