An 8-piece Czech band from Úvaly near Prague, formed in 1996. DB is both hated and loved by many because of its simple but sometimes quite catchy lyrics and music where we can hear many instruments, but is not too complex in the first place.
It is hard to define what genre Divokej Bill is. Sometimes its music is defined as folk rock, celtic rock, country and so on; members think it might be "redneck rock" as they are from a small town and are influenced by it.
DB has attended a lot of festivals in last few years like its home Ouvalskej bigbít, Rock for People or Masters of Rock. DB also does a lot of its own gigs nationwide.
Divokej Bill is closely related to Medvěd 009 because they are both from Úvaly, and Vašek Bláha is a singer and guitarist in both bands.

Sedim na pařezu u studený skály, nechce se mi do rakve tak žeru cibuli
chvílema sotva lezu a sny co se mi zdály mizej někde v nekonečnu asi jsme se minuli
Zpitá jako vždycky rozbíjíš skleničky nevnímáš nic kolem a plazíš se ve střepech
Zvuky tvýho těla taks to vždkycky chtěla rozléhaj se rozléhaj se rozléhaj se v prázdnejch zdech
Chvíli co chvíli dělal na pažbu zářez pro ty co zbyli pro ty co nemohli dál
Pro tebe pro sebe na starej pařez si sed koukal do nebe vočima něco si přál
Hledal to místo, že je tak blízko nevěděl dělal dost chyb věřil že bude líp
dírou na nebi koukal se na zem a mlátil se do hlavy, že mu to nedošlo dřív.

Kejklíř medvědář - jeho stará medvědice stahaná a líná kejklíř komediant - usíná medvědář
Kejklíř medvědář - jeho stará medvědice stahaná a líná kejklíř komediant - usíná medvědář
Sedim na pařezu u studený skály, nechce se mi do rakve tak žeru zase cibuli
chvílema sotva lezu a sny co se mi zdály mizej někde v nekonečnu asi jsme se minuli
Zpitá jako vždycky rozbíjíš skleničky nevnímáš nic kolem a plazíš se ve střepech
Zvuky tvýho těla taks to vždkycky chtěla rozléhaj se rozléhaj se rozléhaj se v prázdnejch zdech
Kejklíř medvědář - jeho stará medvědice stahaná a líná kejklíř komediant - usíná medvědář
jeho stará medvědice stahaná a líná kejklíř komediant - usíná medvědář

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Divokej Bill's song Medvedar portray a sense of hopelessness and despair. The singer of the song is sitting on a stump next to a cold rock, feeling too tired to even eat his onion. He is barely able to move at times and feels as though his dreams have disappeared into the endless abyss. Meanwhile, the person he is with is drunk, breaking glasses and not paying attention to their surroundings. The singer listens to their body sounds, which is all they have ever wanted, echoing in the empty walls. He remembers the moments when he was preparing for combat for those who had survived and could not continue, for himself and for others. He sits there on the old stump and watches the sky, wishing for something.

The song then shifts to describing a kegler bear (kejklíř medvědář) and his old lazy female bear who sleeps as the kegler falls asleep. The lyrics cycle back to the singer sitting on the stump again, not wanting to go to his grave and eating onions instead. He has lost sight of his dreams and feels as though they have passed him by.

The song portrays a sense of disconnection and detachment from the world around us. The singer feels as though he and his dreams are passing each other by, there is no communication or interaction. The theme of the song can be interpreted as feeling lost and disconnected from others and their dreams.
