Farben Lehre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Zawsze daje ten kogo na to stac
Karuzela kreci, nieustanny ruch
Wychodzi jeden - wchodzi dwoch
Nauczylem sie dawac, nie potrafie brac
Zawsze daje ten kogo na to stac
Karuzela kreci, nieustanny ruch
Wychodzi jeden - wchodzi dwoch...
Walka o ogien, wojna o byt
Od switu po noc, od nocy po swit
Pustoslowie - w oczy kwas
Megastres przez caly czas
Walka o ogien, wojna o byt
Od switu po noc, od nocy po swit
Pustoslowie - w oczy kwas
Megastres przez caly czas...
Probuje ale nie wiem sam
Kto kreuje taki stan?
Z oczu mi nie patrzy zle
Nikt nie powie - mamy cie!
Mysle wiec jestem, grunt to zdrowie
Dzikie pomysly buszuja po glowie
Chory swiat - zgnile powietrze
Kto dzieli, kto rzadzi, kto bladzi?
Mysle wiec jestem, grunt to zdrowie
Dzikie pomysly buszuja po glowie
Chory swiat - zgnile powietrze
Kto dzieli, kto rzadzi, kto bladzi?
Probuje ale nie wiem sam...
The Farben Lehre lyrics of Hop Hop are about the struggles in life and the constant battles to survive. The first verse talks about the act of giving and not being able to receive. The singer has learned to give, but they cannot receive. They always give what they can, but only those who can afford it. The carousel is constantly rotating, and it seems like for every one person that comes out, two more go in. The cycle never stops, and it feels like there's always more to give. The second verse talks about the war for survival, from morning until night. Life is a constant struggle, and the singer is struggling with the emptiness of it all. Megastress consumes them, and it's a constant state of being. They try to understand the situation, but they cannot figure it out on their own.
The chorus talks about the inner conflict of trying to figure out who created this situation. The singer reminds themselves of the philosophy of "thinking, therefore, I am" and the importance of good health. However, the singer's head is full of wild ideas that make it hard to cope. The world is sick, and the air is rotten, and no one knows who is in control. The singer's world feels like it's falling apart, and they're unable to make sense of anything.
