Farben Lehre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Idę dalej a w duszy rysa i szrama
Najbardziej mnie boli najbardziej porusza
Sztych zadany ręką brutusa
Życie płynie jak wielka fala
Jestem na górze ale z niej spadam
Życie płynie jak wielka fala
Głową w dół
Głową w dół
Głową w dół
A jednak się wspinam
Kochać nie od razu znaczy być kochanym
Nie rozumiem ludzi ten świat jest pojebany
Nie uznaję władzy bo władza przeszkadza
Mówię co myślę i tylko podpowiadam
Życie płynie jak wielka fala
Jestem na górze ale z niej spadam
Życie płynie jak wielka fala
Jestem na górze ale ciągle z niej spadam
Popękane serce nawet poskładane
Bez poczucia rytmu nie będzie takie same
Gdy na twojej drodze staje wredna menda
Pamiętaj że człowiek uczy się na błędach
Życie płynie jak wielka fala
Jestem na górze ale z niej spadam
Życie płynie jak wielka fala
Jestem na górze ale ciągle z niej spadam
The lyrics of Farben Lehre's song "Zbrodnia i wiara" delve into themes of betrayal, resilience, love, power dynamics, and personal growth. The opening lines "Zostałem trafiony na froncie zaufania, Idę dalej a w duszy rysa i szrama, Najbardziej mnie boli najbardziej porusza, Sztych zadany ręką brutusa" paint a vivid picture of the singer feeling wounded on the front lines of trust. They continue to push forward despite the emotional scars, highlighting the pain and impact of betrayal inflicted by someone they trusted, symbolized by the reference to a stab from Brutus's hand, alluding to betrayal, perhaps similar to Julius Caesar being betrayed by Brutus.
The repetition of the phrase "Głową w dół, A jednak się wspinam" reflects a sense of determination and perseverance in the face of adversity. The singer acknowledges the ups and downs of life, likening it to riding a wave, constantly feeling like they're on top only to inevitably fall from grace. This imagery captures the rollercoaster of life's challenges and triumphs, with the singer continually striving to rise above despite the setbacks.
The lyrics also touch upon the complexities of love and relationships with lines like "Kochać nie od razu znaczy być kochanym, Nie rozumiem ludzi ten świat jest pojebany, Nie uznaję władzy bo władza przeszkadza, Mówię co myślę i tylko podpowiadam." Here, the singer grapples with the idea that loving someone doesn't guarantee being loved in return. They express frustration with the world and a rejection of power dynamics that inhibit genuine connections. The defiance in speaking their mind and offering only advice without imposing their will underscores a sense of independence and individuality.
The closing verses emphasize the importance of resilience and learning from mistakes. The lines "Popękane serce nawet poskładane, Bez poczucia rytmu nie będzie takie same, Gdy na twojej drodze staje wredna menda, Pamiętaj że człowiek uczy się na błędach" convey a message of repairing a broken heart, ensuring that it beats to its own rhythm even after being shattered. The singer warns against toxic individuals and reminds the listener that growth comes from acknowledging and learning from past errors. The cyclical imagery of riding life's waves, constantly falling from the summit, yet continuing to climb back up, encapsulates the resilience and strength needed to navigate the unpredictable journey of life.

Zostałem trafiony na froncie zaufania
I have been hit on the frontline of trust
Idę dalej a w duszy rysa i szrama
I keep going with a crack and a scar in my soul
Najbardziej mnie boli najbardziej porusza
What hurts me the most moves me the most
Sztych zadany ręką brutusa
A stab delivered by the hand of Brutus
Głową w dół
Head down
A jednak się wspinam
Yet, I climb up
Kochać nie od razu znaczy być kochanym
To love does not immediately mean to be loved
Nie rozumiem ludzi ten świat jest pojebany
I do not understand people, this world is screwed up
Nie uznaję władzy bo władza przeszkadza
I do not recognize authority because authority interferes
Mówię co myślę i tylko podpowiadam
I say what I think and only give suggestions
Popękane serce nawet poskładane
Even a broken heart, once repaired,
Bez poczucia rytmu nie będzie takie same
Without a sense of rhythm, it won't be the same
Gdy na twojej drodze staje wredna menda
When a nasty person stands in your way
Pamiętaj że człowiek uczy się na błędach
Remember that man learns from mistakes
