Gniew
IRA Lyrics

The lyrics of the song "Gniew" by IRA depict a sense of anger and rebellion against the forces that seek to hold down the individual. The first few lines seem to be directed at those who love the sound of false words and who attack from every direction. The image of loading guns and shooting oneself in the head with slivers seems to suggest a desperation to escape from the hypocrisy and betrayal of those who pretend to be truthful, but are not. The chorus, with its repeated cry of "Rodzi się gniew" (Anger is born), echoes the sense of pent-up frustration and anger that has been brewing within the singer for some time.

The second verse continues the theme of persecution and fear, with the image of a covered face and torches burning in a march that is aimed at chasing down the victim. The line "Lękiem nakarmisz je" (You will feed them with fear) is a powerful one, suggesting that the fear one feels in such situations only serves to further embolden one's attackers. The final line of the song, "Gradobicie i wiatr - nie zniszczą nas" (Hail and wind - they will not destroy us), is a defiant statement of resilience that affirms the strength of the human spirit.
