Lady Pank is quite a curiosity on the Polish musical market. They got popular before they were actually... formed! The group, which was originally planning to call itself "Żużel", received a lot of media coverage as a result of a skilfully conducted promotional campaign combined with group's questionnable talent.
Swojski chaos
Lady Pank Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Co to za zaklęty krąg
Czy przepadłem gdzieś w sobotę
Czy popieścił mnie prąd
Może to długa zima
Zamroziła mi mój mózg
Budzę się zlany potem
Ale jutro znowu święto
Znowu będzie maj
Kto by wszystko to pamiętał
Baby please don't cry
Dzieci rosną jak na drożdżach
Czeka na nie świat
Więc się bracie nie naprężaj
Zawsze było tak
Czarne dni białe noce
Ruska flaga znowu na maszt
Nie żartować z prezydenta
Przecież on był zawsze nasz
Ale jutro znowu święto
Znowu będzie maj
Kto by wszystko to pamiętał
Baby please don't cry
Dzieci rosną jak na drożdżach
Czeka na nie świat
Więc się bracie nie naprężaj
Zawsze było tak
The lyrics of Lady Pank's song "Swojski chaos" reflect the confusion and disorientation of the singer. The opening lines describe the sense of going around in circles, unsure of where he is or what day it is. He wonders if he has been swept away by the current or lost track of time. This feeling is further intensified with the reference to the freezing winter that may have frozen his brain, leaving him feeling disoriented and struggling to make sense of his surroundings. The lyrics convey an overarching feeling of loss and betrayal, seemingly referencing the singer's relationship struggles.
The second half of the song brings in political and nationalistic overtones, with references to the Russian flag and the importance of remembering past historical events. Despite this, the singer seems to be urging himself and others to move forward rather than remain stuck in the past. He encourages his listeners to appreciate the present and not worry too much about what has been lost or forgotten.
The song as a whole can be read as a commentary on nostalgia and the pitfalls of getting stuck in the past. While it is important to remember where we've come from, it is equally important to keep moving forward and embracing the present.

Biegam w tą i z powrotem
I'm running back and forth
Co to za zaklęty krąg
What kind of enchanted circle is this
Czy przepadłem gdzieś w sobotę
Did I disappear somewhere on Saturday
Czy popieścił mnie prąd
Did the electricity shock me
Może to długa zima
Maybe it's the long winter
Zamroziła mi mój mózg
It froze my brain
Budzę się zlany potem
I wake up sweating
Zdrada była tuż tuż
Betrayal was close by
Ale jutro znowu święto
But tomorrow is another holiday
Znowu będzie maj
It will be May again
Kto by wszystko to pamiętał
Who would remember all of this
Baby please don't cry
Baby, please don't cry
Dzieci rosną jak na drożdżach
Children grow like yeast
Czeka na nie świat
The world is waiting for them
Więc się bracie nie naprężaj
So don't strain yourself, brother
Zawsze było tak
It has always been this way
Czarne dni białe noce
Black days, White nights
Ruska flaga znowu na maszt
The russian flag is hoisted again
Nie żartować z prezydenta
Don't joke about the president
Przecież on był zawsze nasz
After all, he was always ours
