Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Coloring book na binubuklat
Ang tanging pamana sa'yo anak
Para 'di ka na mag-hintay ng truck
Kapos ang buhay at bitak-bitak
Kalabaw ko ay may sugat
Puno ng putik ang aking lambat
Biyaheng bus papuntang Maynila
Sa tingin ko'y may mapapala
Kahit na magpaka-alila
Gagawin ko kahit labas dila
Ang sabi ng bus pumindak-pindak
Ang sabi ko naman ay (sure why not)
Ang sabi niya pre hoy English yan
Ang sabi ko naman I'm American
Huwag mo ko pigilin
Kung gusto sa masikip at magulo
Pandemonium
Huwag mo kong pilitin
Kung gusto ko sa masakit at magulo
Jackpot prize sulit ang puyat
Niyakap ang premyo baka masilat
Isang contest at may dalang itak
Hindi ko na mabilang ang bumabagsak
Idol kong si Herry ay nasaksak
Hindi ko mapigilan ang pag-iyak
Alay ko sa kanya ay bulaklak
Butas ng ilong niya ay may bulak
Huwag mo ko pigilin
Kung gusto sa masikip at magulo
Pandemonium
Huwag mo kong pilitin
Kung gusto ko sa masakit at magulo
Nanay tatay gusto kong tinapay
Ate kuya pahingi ng pera
Abakada abrakadabra
Utak ni Maria natuklaw ng kobra
Huwag mo ko pigilin
Kung gusto sa masikip at magulo
Pandemonium
Huwag mo kong pilitin
Kung gusto ko sa masakit at magulo
Huwag mo ko pigilin
Kung gusto sa masikip at magulo
Pandemonium
Huwag mo kong pilitin
Kung gusto ko sa masakit at magulo
Huwag mo ko pigilin
Kung gusto sa masikip at magulo
Pandemonium
Huwag mo kong pilitin
Kung gusto ko sa masakit at magulo
Pandemonium
The lyrics to Tanya Markova's song Pandemonium tell a story of a life of hardship and struggle. The first stanza speaks of a child inheriting only writing materials and a coloring book, indicating a lack of material possessions or family treasures. The following lines describe a life of poverty and physical wounds, with the singer's carabao (water buffalo) having a wound and their farm produce being attacked by pests. The second stanza describes a journey to Manila, hoping for a better life even if it means being a servant, but the situation turns chaotic and confusing (pandemonium), with the bus driver even correcting the singer's English, who then claims to be American. The third and fourth stanzas go on to describe experiences of winning a prize or being stabbed, but still choosing to live freely in chaos instead of being restrained or forced to conform.
Overall, the song suggests a rejection of societal norms and expectations, and instead celebrates the idea of living in pandemonium or chaos as a choice.

These are the only things I can give as an inheritance to you, my child
Para 'di ka na mag-hintay ng truck
So you won't have to wait for a truck to bring something for you
Kapos ang buhay at bitak-bitak
Life is hard and full of cracks
Kalabaw ko ay may sugat
Even my carabao has wounds
Puno ng putik ang aking lambat
My fishing net is full of mud
Pananim ko ay may kagat
My plants are being eaten by pests
Biyaheng bus papuntang Maynila
A bus trip going to Manila
Sa tingin ko'y may mapapala
I think I can gain something from it
Kahit na magpaka-alila
Even if I have to act like a slave
Gagawin ko kahit labas dila
I'll do it even if it requires me to speak out of turn
Ang sabi ng bus pumindak-pindak
The bus driver said it's moving jerky
Ang sabi ko naman ay (sure why not)
I said, 'sure, why not'
Ang sabi niya pre hoy English yan
He said, 'hey, that's English'
Ang sabi ko naman I'm American
I said, 'I'm American'
Jackpot prize sulit ang puyat
The jackpot prize is worth staying up late for
Niyakap ang premyo baka masilat
I hugged the prize in case someone tries to steal it
Isang contest at may dalang itak
There's a contest and someone brought a knife
Hindi ko na mabilang ang bumabagsak
I lost count of how many times I've fallen down
Idol kong si Herry ay nasaksak
My idol Herry got stabbed
Hindi ko mapigilan ang pag-iyak
I can't help but cry
Alay ko sa kanya ay bulaklak
I offer him flowers
Butas ng ilong niya ay may bulak
There's a flower in his nostril hole
Nanay tatay gusto kong tinapay
Mom and dad, I want some bread
Ate kuya pahingi ng pera
Sister and brother, can I borrow some money
Abakada abrakadabra
The alphabet and magic
Utak ni Maria natuklaw ng kobra
Maria's brain was bitten by a cobra
Huwag mo ko pigilin
Don't hold me back
Kung gusto sa masikip at magulo
If I want it to be cramped and messy
Pandemonium
Chaos
Huwag mo kong pilitin
Don't force me
Kung gusto ko sa masakit at magulo
If I like it to be painful and chaotic
Huwag mo ko pigilin
Don't hold me back
Kung gusto sa masikip at magulo
If I want it to be cramped and messy
Pandemonium
Chaos
Huwag mo kong pilitin
Don't force me
Kung gusto ko sa masakit at magulo
If I like it to be painful and chaotic
Huwag mo ko pigilin
Don't hold me back
Kung gusto sa masikip at magulo
If I want it to be cramped and messy
Pandemonium
Chaos
Huwag mo kong pilitin
Don't force me
Kung gusto ko sa masakit at magulo
If I like it to be painful and chaotic

@TheGooseMan03
I think it's about a person who tried their luck in the capital city of the Philippines (Hell), Manila (Pandemonium). Then disaster strikes, causing them to lose their sanity ("utak ni Maria natuklaw ng kobra").
