Farben Lehre Lyrics

Dziś z kościołem, pseudowiarometodami
Jutro znów na ulicy się spotkamy
A pojutrze - pozabijamy się sami
Niezdecydowani
Bez nadziei, pewności, oszukani
Niezdecydowani
Idziemy przez czas
Idziemy przez czas
Idziemy przez czas
Idziemy przez czas
Wczoraj gotowi nawet zabić
Dziś podajemy sobie ręce
Jutro znowu zmienimy zdanie
Pojutrze - prawda fałszem się stanie
Niezdecydowani
Bez nadziei, pewności, oszukani
Niezdecydowani
Bez nadziei, pewności - całkiem sami
Idziemy przez czas
Idziemy przez czas
Idziemy przez czas
Idziemy przez czas
The lyrics of Farben Lehre's "Idziemy Przez Czas" describe the uncertainty and wavering beliefs of the society. The song talks about how people change their opinions and standpoints too rapidly, from rejecting communism to embracing religion, and how they will fight and kill each other in the future. The lyrics also suggest that people are lost and uninformed, deceived by false promises and misguided beliefs. The repetition of the phrase "Idziemy przez czas" (We walk through time) throughout the song emphasizes that people are just moving forward, without a clear direction or purpose.
The lyrics can be interpreted as a criticism of the Polish society during the turbulent time of the late 1980s, when the country was transitioning from communism to democracy. The song expresses the disillusionment and confusion of the people during this time, as they struggled to find their identity and beliefs in a rapidly changing political and social landscape. The lyrics suggest that the lack of clear leadership, guidance, and information has led people to make hasty decisions and follow fickle ideologies.
Overall, "Idziemy Przez Czas" is a poignant critique of the state of Polish society during a time of great upheaval and change. The song highlights the need for wisdom, patience, and a firm moral compass in times of uncertainty and turmoil.
