Bez Pokory
Farben Lehre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Playboyem, półbogiem i królem w koronie
Nie jestem żadnym szulerem
Ani innym wyrafinowanym gnojem
Nie jestem nowym Führerem
Ostrzem propagandowej bzdury
Nie jestem marzeniem spełnieniem
Żądnym kariery Mega-Gburem
Niepokorny i zły
Bram nieba nie sięgnę
Takim jak chcesz
Nigdy nie będę
Nie jestem synem wazeliny
Areną sterowanego buntu
Nie jestem rozkapryszoną
Super-Gnidą bez uczuć
The lyrics to Bez Pokory by Farben Lehre are about a person who is rejecting the societal expectations placed upon them. The singer is rejecting the idea of being a playboy or a god-like figure with a crown, as well as rejecting being a cheat or someone who is pretentious. They are also rejecting the idea of being a leader who spreads propaganda or someone who is only interested in fame and fortune.
The singer identifies themselves as someone who is defiant and rebellious, someone who will not conform to society's expectations. They acknowledge that they will not be able to reach heaven by following the rules, but they are okay with that. They refuse to be a hypocrite, unlike those who pretend to be against the system while still succumbing to it.
This song is a call for individuality and self-acceptance. The singer encourages the listener to embrace their true selves and not succumb to the societal pressure to conform. It's a reminder that being true to oneself is more important than fitting into a pre-determined mold.
