Daj mi tę noc
Jamal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Daj mi poczuć, że naprawdę chcę
W głowie mam pistolet
W sercu gorę, ale biorę dzisiaj to
Co chcę
Nie nie nie niewolimy się
Daj mi swój ból
Nabijemy go w butelkę
Mam tu tego cały słój,
A nawet więcej
Daj mi swój gniew,
Spal mnie w ramionach
Wołam ile zdołam
Ale połamane drzewa
Goła prawda, zmierzch
Nie nie nie niewolimy się
Ona nie jedzie daleko stąd
Ona nie jedzie do Kingston
Spoglądam na nią i czuję to
Ona nie jedzie do Kingston!
In Jamal's song "Daj mi tę noc" (Give me this night), the lyrics depict a desire for passion, freedom, and a release from the constraints of society. The song speaks to a yearning for experiencing life to the fullest and embracing one's own desires.
The first verse expresses a plea for someone to give the singer this night, allowing them to truly feel and want it. The reference to having a pistol in their mind could represent a metaphorical power or determination to break free from the mundane and live life on their own terms. In their heart, there is a burning desire, but today they are taking what they want. This line suggests a willingness to pursue their desires without hesitation or inhibition.
The chorus reinforces the idea of refusing to be enslaved or controlled by external forces. They demand to be given the pain of others, as if willing to absorb it and contain it within a bottle. In return, they offer their own pain, implying that they have a surplus or an abundance of emotions to share. This exchange, symbolized by sharing pain, could be seen as a form of catharsis or connection.
Continuing into the second verse, the singer asks to be given someone's anger and to be engulfed by it in their arms. This line expresses a desire for intense emotions and experiences, even if they may be destructive or overwhelming. The following line proclaims a desperate call, shouting as much as they can, but only breaking trees in the process. This imagery suggests a struggle or frustration in expressing themselves fully or finding their place in the world.
The final two lines indicate that the person they are referring to is not going far, specifically mentioning Kingston, which could symbolize a place of retreat or escape. The singer looks at this person and feels something profound, but they are aware that the person they desire does not share the same destination or desire for escape. This juxtaposition highlights the longing and unrequited feelings the singer may have towards the other person.
Overall, "Daj mi tę noc" is a song that conveys a yearning for liberation, unapologetic self-expression, and a connection with others who share similar desires. It explores the complexities of human emotions and the contrasting paths people may take in their pursuit of freedom.
