The act's beginnings can be traced to 1997, when founding member Zenon Kutapasa (then known as Zenon Danon) assembled two of his cronies in his bedroom and recorded the three of them yelling hastily written lyrics over instrumental backgrounds thrown together from various tapes (including the works of Nirvana, Silverchair etc). Two additional "albums" in this style were created up to 2001, each improving on the predecessor's audio processing quality and performance.

At this point, a proper band line-up was assembled, leading to the act's first proper concert (September 2nd 2001). Eventually, Kabanos decided to try their hand at making their own material, and the debut single "Za X" was recorded in 2002. A few member changes later, a proper full-length "Zęby w ścianę" saw the light of day in 2007. "Flaki z olejem" followed in 2009, and the group's most recent full-length of original material is "Kiełbie we łbie" from 2012. Kabanos is evolving from release to release, letting their growing musical abilities shine and gradually replacing the off-the-wall ramblings of their earlier materials with easily discernible, more mature themes.

Na betonie zimnym leży z drzewa lyść
Wiatru prawie ni ma, nie podmucha dziś
Obrzydlywe niebo, dziurawe i dżdży
Brudzą się w kałuży jakieś obce psy

Na dworzu leży lyść

Och tak,

Kolejny lystek spadł
W mokry, szary dzień
W kałuży pływa sam

Och nie,
Nikt nie nachyli się
W mokry, szary dzień
W kałuży pływa sam

Czarne chmury wiszą, już zapada noc
Kapie deszczyk cicho, ledwo słychać go
Podtopiony w mętnej brudnej wodzie lyść
Chciałby pójść pod kocyk, lecz nie może yść

Na dworzu topi się lyść

Och tak,
Kolejny lystek spadł
W mokrą, szarą noc
W kałuży pływa sam

Och nie,
Nikt nie nachyli się
W mokrą, szarą noc
W kałuży pływa sam

Na dworzu leży lyść

Och tak,
Kolejny lystek spadł
W mokry, szary dzień
W kałuży pływa sam

Och nie,
Nikt nie nachyli się

W mokry, szary dzień
W kałuży pływa sam

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kabanos's song "Jesienny dół" paint a picture of a cold and dreary autumn day. The first verse describes a single leaf lying on the cold concrete with no wind to blow it away. The sky is ugly and leaky with dirty puddles that even stray dogs are using. The second verse continues with the image of a black, cloudy night with a light drizzle that is hardly audible. Another leaf is seen floating in murky, dirty water that the singer wishes he could crawl under a blanket, but he cannot. The chorus repeats twice, describing the drifting leaf in a puddle and the fact that no one can bother to stop and help it.

Na betonie zimnym leży z drzewa lyść
A leaf from a tree lies cold on the concrete ground

Wiatru prawie ni ma, nie podmucha dziś
The wind doesn't blow today, it's almost still

Obrzydlywe niebo, dziurawe i dżdży
The disgusting sky is full of holes and rain

Brudzą się w kałuży jakieś obce psy
Some foreign dogs get dirtied in the puddles

Czarne chmury wiszą, już zapada noc
Black clouds hang low, night is falling

Kapie deszczyk cicho, ledwo słychać go
The rain drips quietly, barely audible

Podtopiony w mętnej brudnej wodzie lyść
A leaf submerged in muddy, dirty water

Chciałby pójść pod kocyk, lecz nie może iść
It would like to go under a blanket, but it can't

Na dworzu topi się lyść
A leaf outside is drowning

Och tak,
Oh yes,

Kolejny lystek spadł
Another leaf fell
