Cynamon
Koniec Świata Lyrics

The song "Cynamon" by Koniec Świata is a poetic and introspective reflection on a failed relationship. The singer is addressing their former partner and asking for their help in piecing themselves back together. The opening lines, "Gdybyś mogła moja miła, Jeszcze raz mnie pozszywać," (If you could my dear, sew me up once more) suggest that there has been a profound emotional or psychological rupture. The singer feels fragmented, "Rozpadłem się na dziesięć tysięcy kawałków" (I've shattered into ten thousand pieces). But they still hope their partner can help them mend, to "zszyj mnie" (sew me back together) as the singer is powerless to do it themselves.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the relationship was fraught with difficulties. The metaphor of natural disasters like "burze wichry i wiatry" (storms and winds) implies that the relationship was subject to forces beyond the couple's control. The line, "Łzy się polały na krwawe posadzki" (tears poured onto the bloody floor) suggests that the end was fraught with pain and heartbreak. The line "Chyba przyśnił mi się sen" (I must have dreamed it all) suggests that the singer is still grappling with the reality of the relationship's end.

The chorus shifts to the second person, "Gdybyś mogła moja pani" (If you could, my lady), addressing the former partner directly. The image of "cynamon" (cinnamon), suggests something intoxicating or fiery, perhaps representing the passion that once fueled the relationship. But now, the singer sees this passion as something dangerous, "Pikantne są myśli, grząska jest ziemia pod nogami" (Thoughts are spicy, the ground is slippery). The singer also mentions "karabin" (a rifle), implying that the couple may have been in conflict, fighting against each other.

In the final verse, the singer turns once again to their own experience, describing themselves as "rosną Ci kości" (their bones are growing) and consumed by a "zazdrość" (jealousy) that is tearing them apart. The line, "Mam cynamon na powiekach, pod paznokciem i na plecach" (I have cinnamon on my eyelids, under my nails and on my back) suggests that the passion of the relationship has left a mark on the singer, something they cannot scrub away.

Overall, "Cynamon" is a deeply evocative and introspective song about the difficulties of love, passion, and loss. It captures a sense of dislocation and fragmentation that comes from a profound emotional break, and the longing to return to a sense of wholeness.
