Szwajcaria
Farben Lehre Lyrics

The song "Szwajcaria" by Farben Lehre, talks about the dissatisfaction in everyday life, how everything feels dull and colorless. The lyrics describe a world where everything is gray--gray night, gray day, gray thoughts, and gray dreams. The only thing that seems to break through this monotony is the wind that blows and the smoke that rises from the chimney. The words "blady wzrok, rozum spi" (pale eyes, the mind sleeps) emphasize the idea of being stuck in a rut, of feeling stuck in an almost dreamlike state.

However, there is hope encapsulated in the phrase "Ktos powiedzial o szwajcarii: '...W tym kraju chce sie zyc...'" (Someone said about Switzerland: ‘...one wants to live in this country...’). The song mentions Switzerland as an idealized promised land, a place where everything is perfect and life is worth living. The singer dreams of this idyllic place, expressing the hope that he can escape the grayness of his current existence.

As the song progresses, there's a sense of mounting frustration and desperation. The lyrics describe a headache caused by the agony of being stuck in this dull world. The words "niemy krzyk, suche lzy" (silent scream, dry tears) hint at the sense of hopelessness and despair that accompanies this feeling.

In the end, the song suggests that money is the answer to it all. "Teraz juz dobrze wiem - kasa okresla byt" (Now I know well - money defines existence). This line implies that the only way to escape this grayness is by accumulating wealth, which the singer believes is only possible in Switzerland.
