In 1981, Grzegorz Ciechowski, taking over the as the new head, moved the group's sound from prog rock closer to New Wave and rechristened the band Republika. He did not, however, completely abandon the band's roots; rather, he adapted Ian Anderson's "heavy-metal flute" into a "New-Wave flute" which featured prominently in such early tracks as Nowe Sytuacje and Kombinat.
The group disbanded in 2001, following Ciechowski's death (cardiac aneurysm).

The lyrics to Republika's song "Prąd" seem to revolve around the theme of electricity and its power. The repetitive phrases like "Nie porażaj" (Do not shock) and "Nie emituj" (Do not emit) suggest a cautionary tone towards electricity. The imagery of hands, electrodes, and sparks further emphasizes the potential danger associated with electricity if mishandled or misused. The lyrics also mention the sensations of pain, represented by the repeated "Aua" sound, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for the consequences of getting too close to the power of electricity.
The lyrics also mention a "metalowy" (metal) element, suggesting a connection between electricity and metal. The line "Metalowy metalowy masz / Sma-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ak elektrody / W moim sercu i sna-a-a-a-a-a-a-aaaaaaach" (Metal, metal you have / Taste of electrodes / In my heart and dreams) could be seen as a metaphorical representation of the electric or intense emotions experienced by the singer.
