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.

Umieram
Kabanos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Umieram (UMIERAM) każdego dnia
Umieram (UMIERAM) każdego dnia
Zatracam (CODZIENNIE) cząstkę własnego ja
Umieram (POWOLI) każdego dnia

Każdy nowy dzień zabija mnie
i zastanawiam się czy zdołam pozbierać się
każdego dnia myślę czy to ja

czy zostało coś? czy jest jeszcze ktoś?
kto wierzy że nie poddam się

Każdy mały gest zabija mnie
wyciska krew ze zmęczonych trudem żył
każdego dnia jestem wewnątrz pnia
nikt nie słyszy okropnego krzyku
który we mnie jest
rozrywa mnie

Każdy nowy dzień zabija mnie
nie wytrzymam już tego dłużej
każdego dnia myśl samobójstwa

przeraża mnie i uwalnia myśl
że nie mam sił bym dalej żył

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kabanos's song "Umieram" express a feeling of despair and hopelessness. The singer states that he is dying every day, losing a part of himself with each passing moment. He questions whether he will be able to pick himself up and continue on, as each new day feels like a death sentence. He wonders if there is anyone left who believes he won't give up. The small actions of others around him cause him pain, draining the life from him. He feels trapped inside his own body, with no one to hear the terrible scream that echoes inside him. The weight of each new day is too much to bear, and he contemplates suicide, realizing he doesn't have the strength to keep going.

The song highlights the struggle many people face daily to keep going, even when life feels unbearable. The lyrics convey a sense of pain and loss, as if the singer is slowly losing himself as each new day passes. It is a powerful statement on mental health and the challenges people face in coping with their inner demons.
