The song "Muzyka I Zdrada" by Farben Lehre discusses the prevalence of corruption and greed within the music industry. The lyrics suggest that the independent and official music scenes are both controlled by a "mafia" who prioritize making money over creating and promoting true talent. The term "muzyka i zdrada" translates to "music and betrayal," highlighting the idea that those in power within the industry are not loyal to the true art of music.
The repetition of the phrase "muzyka i zdrada" throughout the song emphasizes the theme of betrayal and the notion that music has been corrupted by those who seek wealth and power. The lyrics also point to the influence of media and press, implying that they too are controlled by the same corrupt system. The overall tone of the song is one of frustration and disappointment with the industry, as the artist highlights the lack of true artistic expression and the prevalence of greed and corruption.
Overall, "Muzyka I Zdrada" is a powerful commentary on the state of the music industry and serves as a call to action for artists and listeners alike to prioritize the true art and soul of music, rather than succumbing to the pressures of the industry's corrupt system.
