Barykady
Lipali Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wypalone
Barykady padłe mijam
W samym sobie
Wygaszone
I rozwiany dym
Porzucone
Gdzieś, gdzieś na samym siebie dnie
Przebudzone
Iskry ideałów krzesam
Dorzucam słomę
Rozpalone
Barykady mnie
Najeżone
Bagnetami słów
Rzucam się do walki choć trochę mi brak
Postawy siłacza, za wąski mam kark
Lecz duchem, obuchem, słowem jak nóż
Rozkroję, rozpłatam brzuch
Narodzę się znów
Rozpalone
Barykady mnie
Najeżone
Bagnetami słów
Lecz duchem, obuchem, słowem jak nóż
Rozkroję, rozpłatam brzuch
The song Barykady by Lipali is a powerful anthem around the theme of fighting for one's beliefs and ideals. The lyrics describe a struggle to rise up and fight, to bring to life the sparks of idealism within oneself, even when feeling stripped of all strength. The imagery of the fallen barricades that the singer passes by suggest that despite earlier attempts, the fight is not over and there is still a lot of work to be done. Through the singer's own awakening, the energy builds up, and the barricades reignite, this time with the bagnetami słów (bayonets of words) at the ready.
The song is a call to action, urging the listener to take stock of their own lives and principles and to fight for them. The lyrics imply that though the fight may not be easy, and the person on the other side may be stronger, with grit and determination, the broken-down barricades can be rebuilt, and ultimately ideals can triumph over power. The final verse speaks to a birth of a new self, an acknowledgement of the power of resistance and the revival of the spirit. Overall, the song is a powerful reminder to never give up one's ideals, even when faced with insurmountable odds.

Somewhere, somewhere at the very end of the desire
Burned out
I pass the fallen barricades
In itself
Dimmed
And the smoke blown away
Abandoned
I am drained of my strength
Somewhere, somewhere at the bottom
Awake
I stave sparks of ideals
I'm throwing in the straw
Hot
Barricades me
Bristling
Bayonets of words
I throw myself into the fight, although I miss it a bit
Strongman posture, my neck is too narrow
But in spirit, with a blunt, a word like a knife
I'll cut open, cut my belly open
I will be born again
Hot
Barricades me
Bristling
Bayonets of words
But in spirit, with a blunt, a word like a knife
I'll cut open, cut my belly open
