Robert Gawliński Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Popatrz tak
Żebym wiedział, że chcesz
Przepaść i zginąć gdzieś bez pamięci
Powiedz tak
Już nie liczy się świat
Który znasz tyle lat, nie chcesz więcej

To tylko gra

Cały ten świat
Wokół nas
To tylko gra
Wszystko co znasz
Wszystko co masz

Zobacz czy
Zwykła miłość to łzy
Które są tylko gdy
Chwile szczęścia
Zacznij żyć
Jakby kończył się czas
Każdą z chwil teraz już zapamiętaj

To tylko gra
Cały ten świat
Wokół nas
To tylko gra

Wszystko co znasz
Wszystko co masz

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Robert Gawliński's song "Gra" delve into the concept of life being a game, a temporary experience in which nothing really matters in the grand scheme of things. The singer is addressing someone and telling them that they should take risks and live without fear, even if it means losing themselves completely. The world as we know it means nothing, and the singer encourages the person to embrace this fact so they can truly live in the moment. The reference to love and tears suggests that even the most powerful emotions we experience are fleeting and transient, just like the game we're all playing.

The song is a commentary on the human condition, and the idea that ultimately everything we do is meaningless. The chorus repeats the refrain "To tylko gra" which translates to "It's just a game" in English. This reinforces the idea that life is not to be taken too seriously, and that we should focus on enjoying the moment rather than worrying about the future.
