After 7 months, they went to the studio and they recorded their first album entitled "Korzenie" in English "The Roots". It took them about 5 days to record all music and it seemed as it was guerrilla warfare rather than recording but it was a lot of fun anyway. After the first album had been brought out they started to play more and more almost in each part of our country. The music they play can be described as a kind of punk rock with ska and folks elements. In the July of 2001, they recorded their second album entitled: "Symfonia na sprzedaż", in English "The symphony for sale". They were touring across all Poland and some part of Europe like Germany, Slovakia, Czech Republic, and U.K. In May 2005, they have published their third album entitled: "Kino Mockba" in English "Moscow Cinema". In 2007 the 4th album "Burgerbar" came out.

Koniec Świata Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Papierosy mam w kieszeni
Kończy się mej głowy ból
Trawa w słońcu się zieleni
Niebo czyste i bez chmur

Autobusy na przystanku
Te co rzadko są na czas
Wisła płynie jak płynęła

Wśród codziennych spraw

Wszystkie wściekłe, miejskie psy
Zasypiają w mig
Zostajemy ty i ja
Na na Na…

Przez osiedla i na skróty
Przez ulice i przez mur
Przez liceum Kopernika
Gdzie cmentarnych krzyży sznur?

Ostatni grosz i zapałka
Wypłukani już przez noc
Chłopaki w kradzionych autach
Jak królowie szos

Na zakrętach stoją szpicle
W ciemnych barach wielki bal
Labirynty krawężników
Chodnikowy dziki szał

Ostatni grosz i zapałka
Wypłukani już przez noc

n-te piwo w burger barze
n-ty życia krok

Overall Meaning

In Koniec Świata's song Burgerbar, the lyrics describe a night out in the city with a sense of freedom and escapism. The singer has cigarettes in their pocket and their headache is fading away. They observe the green grass in the sunlight and clear blue skies without any clouds. At the bus stop, the infrequent buses never arrive on time but it doesn't matter as the Vistula river flows just as it always has.

As the night progresses, the singer and their companion make their way through shortcuts, streets, and walls, passing by Copernicus High School where rows of cemetery crosses line up. They have only one match and last bit of change left, drained by the night. The stolen car-riding guys they come across appear like kings of the roads.

Despite the darkness, the night seems to be winding down as even the angry urban dogs fall asleep. It's just the two of them, free and unencumbered, standing at a crossroad.

The overall theme of the song is about the desire for escape from reality and the monotony of daily life. The song's lyrics create a contrast between the artificial modern cityscape and the timeless nature of the Vistula river. The song seems to suggest that although one may find moments of freedom and escape, they are fleeting and ultimately the bleakness of reality will set back in.

I have cigarettes in my pocket

Kończy się mej głowy ból
My headache is fading away

Trawa w słońcu się zieleni
Grass is turning green in the sun

Niebo czyste i bez chmur
Sky is clear and without clouds

Autobusy na przystanku
Buses at the stop

Te co rzadko są na czas
Those that are rarely on time

Wisła płynie jak płynęła
Vistula flows as it used to

Wśród codziennych spraw
Among everyday affairs

Wszystkie wściekłe, miejskie psy
All angry, urban dogs

Zasypiają w mig
Fall asleep in an instant

Zostajemy ty i ja
It's just you and me left
