Na wieczność
Hey Lyrics

The song "Na wieczność" by Hey starts with an urgent call of attention ("Baczność!") and sets the scene of a ghostly, blue morning. The first verse talks about shaving off sleep (and perhaps something more sinister) with a razor, and saluting someone in a plaid tie in the living room. The image seems to suggest a military or institutional context, with strict rituals and schedules that leave no room for night-time adventures.

The second verse brings a shift in perspective, as the singer addresses a female character who had a disturbing dream about a man in a coat distributing death like a communion wafer in a subway (the Polish word "palec" means both "finger" and "criminal record", so the phrase "ponury facet w palcie" could be read as "grim man with a record"). The singer tries to reassure her that everything is going to be ok, but at the same time he admits that he knows he's not a child anymore and nothing lasts forever.

The song is full of ambiguity and allusions, leaving much to the listener's imagination. It could be read as a dystopian vision of a totalitarian regime that transforms people into obedient soldiers who reject their own emotions and dreams, or as a personal reflection on the difficulty of balancing duty and passion, conformity and rebellion, in a world that values efficiency and order above all else.
