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.

Zamknięte Główki
Kabanos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Zamknięte główki mają duszno w kopułkach
Klapki na oczach, korki w uszach
Ich proste myśli zamykane w ampułkach
Leczą kompleksy egzystencji

Masz wielki i zakuty łeb
Nie przebije go żadna nowa myśl
O nie

Otwórz oczka

Zamknięte główki widzą czarne i białe
Nie rozumieją drugiej strony
Dużo nie mieści się w ich płyciutkiej pale
Wciąż oburzają się i szydzą

Masz wielki i zakuty łeb
Nie przebije go żadna nowa myśl
O nie
Twój wielki i zakuty łeb
Woli bzdury pleść, pluć w moją twarz

Tak masz
Otwórz oczka

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kabanos's song "Zamknięte Główki" describe closed-minded individuals who refuse to consider new ideas and perspectives. The phrase "zamknięte główki" translates to "closed heads," and the first verse describes the feeling of suffocation that comes from being closed off to new experiences. The use of "klapki na oczach" (blinders on their eyes) and "korki w uszach" (corks in their ears) emphasizes their unwillingness to see or hear anything outside of their own beliefs.

The second verse describes how these closed-minded individuals see things in black and white, failing to understand different perspectives or shades of gray. They are characterized as having shallow thoughts, incapable of grasping complex ideas or concepts. The chorus repeats the line "masz wielki i zakuty łeb" (you have a huge and locked head), suggesting that these individuals are stubborn and resistant to change. The final line, "otwórz oczka" (open your eyes), implores them to break free from their closed-mindedness and consider other viewpoints.
