I.N.D.S.T.
Lipali Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
naturalny jest
choć nienadzwyczajny wcale
niebanalny także nie
jest wciąż autentyczny
niebezpieczny jest
sielankowy czasem bywa
los ! los ! los !
więc bierz
w ręce swoje
los w ręce swoje
ty bierz !
The song "I.N.D.S.T." by Lipali talks about the complex nature of fate and personal agency. The first verse describes the innate qualities of an individual, stating that they are natural and not necessarily extraordinary or unique. However, the second half of the verse suggests that this individual can still be interesting and authentic in their own way. The second verse delves into the unpredictability of fate, describing it as both dangerous and whimsical, with moments of calm and moments of chaos. The repeated chant of "los!" ("fate" in Polish) emphasizes the looming presence and power of fate over one's life.
The chorus encourages the listener to take fate into their own hands, urging them to "take fate in their own hands". This suggests a belief in personal agency - that while fate is unpredictable, individuals still have control over their own destiny. The repetition of "ty bierz!" ("you take it!") further emphasizes this point, as the singer encourages the listener to actively shape their own life rather than passively accepting whatever fate may bring.
Overall, "I.N.D.S.T." reflects on the tension between fate and personal agency in determining one's life path. While the lyrics suggest that fate is powerful and unpredictable, they also encourage listeners to take control of their own lives and make their own choices.
