Akcja segregacja
Farben Lehre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Uruchamia system ograniczeń
Człowiek ulega sztucznym podziałom
Wbrew naturze, wbrew ideałom
Granica potęguje różnice
Ogranicza ograniczone życie
Wyjść ponad podział to wielka sztuka
Człowiek zawsze różnic szuka
Akcja - segregacja
Nietolerancja, niedemokracja
Akcja - segregacja
Nietolerancja
Granica potęguje różnice
Uruchamia system ograniczeń
Człowiek ulega sztucznym podziałom
Wbrew naturze, wbrew ideałom...
Granica potęguje różnice
Ogranicza ograniczone życie
Wyjść ponad podział to wielka sztuka
Człowiek zawsze różnic szuka
Akcja - segregacja
Nietolerancja, niedemokracja
Akcja - segregacja
Nietolerancja
The lyrics to Farben Lehre's song Akcja segregacja address the damaging effects of societal boundaries and the artificial divisions they create. The first few lines state that these boundaries only serve to widen differences between people and limit our lives. Instead of embracing the natural diversity of humanity, we conform to these imposed differences, going against our better nature and values.
The chorus highlights the consequences of this system, with "akcja segregacja" representing the action of segregation, leading to intolerance and undemocratic practices. The repetition of these phrases reinforces the song's message and call to action for listeners to question and challenge these societal constructs.
The second verse echoes the first, emphasizing how these boundaries are artificial and contrary to our ideals as human beings. It ends with the line "człowiek zawsze różnic szuka," meaning "man always seeks differences," suggesting that this innate desire can be both a strength and a hindrance.
Overall, Akcja segregacja is a powerful critique of division and its harmful effects on society. By presenting these ideas through song, Farben Lehre seeks to inspire listeners to question and confront the systems that create these barriers.
