Proletaryat Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kto chce zabrać kto mi życie zabrać chce
Z kim do walki z kim do walki rzuca mnie
Ma być milion mam być sam czy milion nas
Kto odlicza kto odliczać ma mój czas

Nie wiem gdzie jestem nie
I to właśnie przeraża mnie
Ten koszmar mnie goni jak cień

Co mi jutro przyniesie dzień

Kto ma leżeć kto ma leżeć kto ma bić
Kto ma pecha kto ma z nas kaleką być
Kto ma strzelać kto ma zginąć kto ma żyć

Nie wiem gdzie jestem nie
I to właśnie przeraża mnie

Ten koszmar mnie goni jak cień
Co mi jutro przyniesie dzień

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Proletaryat's song "Moj Czas" speak to a feeling of confusion and uncertainty about one's place in the world and the role they are expected to play. The singer questions who wants to take their life from them and who they are supposed to fight with. They wonder if they are meant to be alone or part of a larger collective, and feel like their time is being counted down by some unknown force.

The second half of the song continues the theme of confusion and fear, with the singer admitting they don't know where they are or what tomorrow will bring. They reference a nightmare that is chasing them like a shadow, adding to the sense of unease and anxiety.

Overall, the lyrics suggest a sense of powerlessness and lack of control, as the singer struggles to understand their place in a world where others seem to be dictating their fate.
