KARATE
Fisz Emade Tworzywo Lyrics

The lyrics of "Karate" by Fisz Emade Tworzywo speak of a man who has undergone a spiritual transformation and is now ready to combat evil and all that is impure. The opening lines, "Święconą wodą przemył ręce / Zadrżała ziemia, ogień zajął dach" allude to a purification ritual, possibly the Catholic rite of sprinkling holy water. The trembling earth and the fire that has engulfed the roof suggest an apocalypse; a turning point where the man's former self is destroyed, and he is reborn.

The subsequent lines, "Teraz będzie walczył z piekłem / Z dobrym Bogiem stał twarzą w twarz," indicate that the singer has been transformed into a warrior for God, ready to take on hell and all its demons. The song then moves to a somewhat surreal scene where the man is dancing in his white shoes, pursuing the demons, and leaving the cameras filming his every move. The line "Chodzi po świecie w swoich białych butach" is an allusion to the ancient Chinese tradition of men wearing white shoes to signify that they were martial artists.

The chorus of the song is an amalgamation of the singer's former and current selves. He is dancing, but it is a devilish dance, a "diabelski walc," as he fights with all his being to rid the world of evil. The reference to "anielskie chóry słychać w ciemną noc" reinforces the otherworldliness of the man's transformation.
