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.

Jesteśmy debilem
Jesteśmy debilem

Łażą po mieście
Skaczą na skakance
Żyją sobie jak najmilej
Wszyscy są głupi
Rosną na sile

Rosną na sile
Wszyscy debile

Lej na problemy swe
Lej na kompleksy swe
Najłatwiej w życiu mają debile
Nie muszą się tłumaczyć że
Nie muszą wciąż udawać że
Podmłoty, kołki, debile

Łażą po knajpach
Bawią się i tańczą
Sączą z życia wszystkie chwile
Wszyscy są głupi
Rosną na sile
Rosną na sile
Wszyscy debile

Pijta mleko!
Mleko codzienie razem po szklanie warto chlać
By potem w autobusie mieć siłę by stać

Jajko to doskonała odżywka do suchych włosów
Lecz trudno ją potem zmyć, więc to nie jest dobry sposób

Overall Meaning

The song Jesteśmy Debilem by Kabanos is a playful yet somewhat biting critique of modern society's obsession with superficiality and ignorance. The refrain, which translates to "We are idiots," is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the message that the people being described are indeed foolish. The verses describe these people as wandering the city, jumping rope, and living life leisurely, while growing stronger in their stupidity. They ignore their problems and insecurities, leading easier lives than those who constantly struggle with these issues. They frequent bars, dance and drink, and savor every moment of their pointless existence.

The song's lyrics reveal a sense of irony, as the singer actually seems to envy the supposedly "idiotic" people they are describing. While making fun of them for their shallow existence, the singer acknowledges that these people are able to enjoy their lives without the burdens of constant insecurity and self-doubt. In a way, the song seems to be suggesting that these people are happier and more content with their lives than those who continually try to improve themselves and be more successful.

Overall, Jesteśmy Debilem is a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the nature of modern society, and the way in which it values certain traits while disregarding others. The song suggests that perhaps we should take a step back and re-evaluate what truly matters in life, and not be so quick to judge others based on superficial qualities.
