Her adventure with music began with the play Muzyka ze słowami (Music With Words) where her acting was accompanied with music composed by Polish independent artist Wojciech Waglewski. In 2005 this resulted in Miasto Mania, with music by Wojciech Waglewski and his sons Fisz and Emade (also well known for their ambient hip hop albums). What had been meant to be an underground project became an absolute hit of the season that everyone talked about. Something new, awaited & very appreciated in the Polish scene. Music up to date with the newest trends yet preserving the greatest rock traditions combined with poetic lyrics. Anyway, the poetry involved was of a special kind, nothing that mainstream would decide to be seen by masses. It was vulgar yet subtle, which differed from anything you would expect to hear anywhere. All this playing with words became Maria's characteristic.

The album itself is supposed to tell a story about a city girl living on a rooftop of a skyscraper. She's watching people and planes go by and you can hear all the city sounds on the record.

The only question left is: will this project be continued as it was meant to be a one time thing?

Czarny worek
Maria Peszek Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Zamknij drzwi
Bóg z nas drwi
Przytul mnie
Boję się

Czarny worek trupów w bród
Koniec świata umarł Bóg

Idzie zimne i nieznane
Idzie wielkie mózgów pranie
Czarny worek trupów w bród
Koniec świata umarł Bóg

Kochaj mnie
Jeszcze czas
Bo za chwilę
Nie ma nas

Idzie straszne i nieznane
Idzie snów wymazywanie
Czarny worek trupów w bród
Koniec świata umarł Bóg

Przytul mnie
Kochaj mnie
Boję się
Boję się

Kocham cię i nie przestanę
Ale teraz koniec amen
Czarny worek pełna pustka
Suche morze ślepe lustra
Czarny worek trupów w bród
Koniec świata umarł Bóg

Przytul mnie
Kochaj mnie
Boję się
Boję się

Przytul...
Kochaj...
Przytul...
Kochaj...

Kocham cię i nie przestanę
Ale teraz koniec amen

Kocham cię i nie przestanę
Ale teraz koniec amen

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Maria Peszek's song "Czarny Worek" convey a sense of fear, desperation and confusion in the face of impending doom. The opening lines "Zamknij drzwi, Bóg z nas drwi, Przytul mnie, Boję się" ("Close the door, God mocks us, Hold me, I'm scared") immediately create a claustrophobic and unsettling atmosphere. The singer seeks comfort and solace in the arms of a loved one, as they face the prospect of an unknown and terrifying future.

The chorus of the song repeats the refrain "Czarny worek trupów w bród, Koniec świata umarł Bóg" ("Black bag full of bodies, God died at the end of the world"), invoking images of death and destruction. The second verse introduces the idea of a "great laundering of brains" and the erasure of dreams, suggesting a total annihilation of human consciousness.

The final lines of the song are repeated twice ("Przytul mnie, Kochaj mnie, Boję się" - "Hold me, Love me, I'm scared"), underscoring the plea for comfort and connection in the face of overwhelming fear and uncertainty.

Overall, the song can be seen as a commentary on the human condition and our collective fear of mortality and the unknown. It is a haunting and intense exploration of the depths of human emotion.
