Dolina lalek
Farben Lehre Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Siedzę na lekcji w szkolnej klasie
O czym myślisz ty kutasie
W klasie same są dziewczęta
Tak - to długo się pamięta

I wiem czego chcę
Lecz ich oczy z drewna są
Jestem sam w dolinie lalek
Cześć

To była noc czerwonych lamp
Ulica wyglądała barokowo
Lalki błyszczały niebezpiecznie
Rozmawiały niedorzecznie

I wiem czego chcę
Lecz ich oczy z drewna są
Jestem sam w dolinie lalek
Cześć

Czuję zapach domowej kuchni
Nie - to tylko pachnie rzeka
Lalki noszą dużo bielizny
Zielonej, białej i różowej

I wiem czego chcę
Lecz ich oczy z drewna są




Jestem sam w dolinie lalek
Cześć

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Dolina Lalek" by Farben Lehre tell a story of a young boy sitting in class surrounded by girls, who he finds attractive, but he is not able to connect with them as they seem like dolls with wooden, lifeless eyes. The boy then goes out at night to the street where he finds himself surrounded by red lamps and dolls, which sparkle dangerously and talk nonsense. He feels lost and doesn’t know what to do, as he longs to connect with the dolls, but can't because their eyes are wooden, and they seem to be just objects. The lyrics end with the description of the dolls' outfits and the boy's realization that he is stuck in this "Doll Valley" and there is no easy way out.


The song by Farben Lehre is a metaphorical tale of the frustration of being unable to connect with others, especially, in the case of the boy, with girls. The lyrics express the boy's desire to connect with the dolls, but he is continuously reminded of their unattainable nature, as they are lifeless objects solely meant for his pleasure. The metaphor of the "Doll Valley" also implies that our society often demands that people conform to societal norms or become objects that are easily manipulated, controlled, and judged by others. The song highlights how difficult it can be to escape from such roles and to find freedom and individuality.
