3) NeLL

NeLL, hailing from Chorzów, Poland, is an energetic indie rock band with a strong big beat influence.
The band was founded in 2003 by Sojer and Bartek, on the ashes of their former band Campbell. They played as a duo for several months, the bassist, Klaus joined the band shortly, though. They released self-titled demo in 2005. In November, Borsuk, a new drummer joined the group. He gave NeLL a strong blow of pure energy and enabled them to revise what they've done up to that point. With a new face, NeLL recorded two brand new songs: "Red Ribbons" and "Lady C", both acclaimed by the Polish Radio Trojka and later released on Piotr Stelmach's compilations.
In 2008 they released their first official single: Downwards the City. The single was funded by the fans via megatotal.pl website and therefore NeLL has became the first polish band ever which managed to release a single in such way.
Their debut album White Noise Zone was released in 2010 by Polskie Radio label.

Their influences include Nick Cave, Tom Waits, Nine Inch Nails, Joy Division, The Knife, Kraftwerk and more recently Interpol, Depeche Mode or The Kills. NeLL is rendering personal emotions into the language of sounds. They vent down their frustrations, joy and despair. The world in their music bends inside. The Real shines with its own glitter and ghosts sit at the bar or lie down to your bed. The music they play is as varied as we are. It’s a rock’n’roll watching its mirror refelction. As one of NeLL’s fans wrote: “With this music, you can drink, die and do couple of other cool things.”

차라리 그럴께
Nell Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

안녕 그 한마디 말에 무색해지는 수많은 약속
실로 가벼운 관계의 무게
하찮은 존재와 기대를 위한 참회
결국 거룩하고 고귀했던 영혼과 육체의 관계는
영원에서 순간으로
아낌없이 주는 나무에서 마몬으로

끝내 바닥나버린 인내 앞에 서서히 그 정체를

드러내는 이기심과 감사함은 없는 아쉬운 맘 서운함

다 모른다 말하겠죠 혹은 아니라고 말하겠죠
사실은 이미 모든걸 다 알고 있음에도
다 아니길 바라겠죠 혹은 숨겨지길 바라겠죠
하지만 현실이 아닌 그저 바램일 뿐이죠

돌려져버린 두 고개 앞에 무참히 짓밟힌 맹세
갈 곳 없는 기억들과 이름 잃은 진실
간사함의 흔적

다 모른다 말하겠죠 혹은 아니라고 말하겠죠
사실은 이미 모든걸 다 알고 있음에도
다 아니길 바라겠죠 혹은 숨겨지길 바라겠죠
하지만 현실이 아닌 그저 바램일 뿐이죠
넌 아니길 바라겠죠 적어도 너만큼은 말이죠
하지만 너 역시 같단걸 알게 되고 나선

또 아니라 말하겠죠 적어도 너만큼은 말이죠
그렇게 또 거짓은 또 꼬리에 꼬리를 물겠죠

Overall Meaning

Nell's song "차라리 그럴께" talks about the intricacies of human relationships and the misunderstandings and miscommunications that can arise from them. The lyrics describe the weightlessness of promises and the smallness of expectations that can often accompany shallow relationships. The relationship between the soul and the body is framed as something that is holy and noble but is ultimately given freely, like a gift from a tree being turned into a desire for material wealth. The song then speaks of the frustration of not knowing the truth of a situation, hoping for things to be a certain way but facing disappointment when reality does not match up to expectations. The weight of broken promises, lost memories, and the traces of betrayal add to the sense of uncertainty and helplessness that the song evokes. The repeated refrain of "다 모른다 말하겠죠" ("I'll say I don't know anything") conveys a sense of resignation and defeat towards the complexity of the emotions being explored in the song.

One possible interpretation of the song is that it may be speaking to the fleeting nature of human relationships and the difficulty of understanding others fully. It may also be commenting on the disappointment and disillusionment that can arise from not knowing the truth of a situation or from having our expectations fall short. Ultimately, the song leaves the listener with a sense of unresolved tension and a feeling of having witnessed something profound but difficult to put into words.
