Farben Lehre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Że nie chce się nic
Nie wiesz co ze sobą zrobić
I dokąd iść
Jak zapasy z wielorybem
W nurcie rzeki życie płynie
Jak zapasy z wielorybem
Czasami takie dni bywają
Że brak ci sił
Wszystko wydaje się obce
A świat jest zły
Jak zapasy z wielorybem
W nurcie rzeki życie płynie
Jak zapasy z wielorybem
W nurcie rzeki
Czasami takie dni bywają
Że wiesz czego chcesz
To dopiero wtedy właśnie
Kończy się stres
Jak zapasy z wielorybem
W nurcie rzeki życie płynie
Jak zapasy z wielorybem
W nurcie rzeki
The lyrics of Farben Lehre's song Zapasy z wielorybem describe the ups and downs of life and the struggle to find meaning and direction. The first verse talks about those days when you feel stuck and don't know what to do with yourself. It is a feeling of helplessness, where everything seems futile, and there is no clear path or direction to follow. The use of the metaphor of wrestling with a whale in a river current adds intensity to this feeling of being lost and swept away by life.
The second verse depicts a sense of hopelessness and isolation. It describes the moments when you feel exhausted and disconnected from the world around you. You feel like a stranger in your own life, and nothing seems to bring you joy or satisfaction. Again, the metaphor of the fight with the whale emphasizes the difficulty of these moments and the strength it takes to overcome them.
The last verse shows a turning point where you finally have clarity and purpose. It describes the moment when you realize what you want in life and feel empowered to take action. You are no longer struggling against the current, but instead, you have found your own path and are moving forward with confidence.
Overall, the lyrics of Zapasy z wielorybem are a powerful reflection on the challenges of life and the importance of perseverance and determination in overcoming them.
