Obawa
Urszula Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Obawiam się ciebie
Czasem nawet boję się
Złych myśli i pajęczyn
W zakamarkach duszy twej

Boję się gdy patrzysz
Nie widząc wcale mnie
I kiedy mnie nie słyszysz

Gdy otwieram serce swe

Tak patrzę jak za sobą
Ciężar nienawiści wleczesz
Wybaczać nie umiesz
Za to źle mi życzysz wiem

Przecież tak nie znajdziesz
Miłości żadnej nie
Bo w życiu przypadkiem
Nigdy nic nie dzieje się

Co jest w tobie
Co w tobie jest
Żyjesz w mej głowie
Jak jakiś cholerny leszcz

Czasami się ukrywasz
Za uśmiechem ale ja
Przenikam poprzez kłamstwa
Aż do oczu twoich dna

I chcę cię zapomnieć
I pokazać tobie że
Ja nie należę do nikogo
Więc do ciebie też nie

Co jest w tobie
Co w tobie jest

Żyjesz w mej głowie
Jak jakiś cholerny kleszcz

Overall Meaning

The song Obawa by Urszula is a poignant expression of fear and uncertainty in a relationship that seems to be defined by the singer's lover's lack of emotional openness and honesty. The lyrics are a reflection of the singer's deep-seated insecurity and fear of being hurt, which is compounded by her lover's tendency to hide his true feelings and harbor negative thoughts and emotions. She is afraid of the dark corners of his soul, where he hides his demons and the webs of negative thoughts that he spins, and she is afraid of losing him to these demons.

The singer is also deeply hurt by her lover's inability to see and hear her. She feels invisible and ignored when he looks past her and doesn't hear her when she pours out her heart to him. Her fear is compounded by the fact that her lover seems to harbor ill will towards her and doesn't know how to forgive. She sees the weight of his hatred dragging him down and feels helpless to ease his pain.

The deep emotional complexity of Obawa is underscored by Urszula's expressive voice and the somber melody that accompanies the lyrics. Her ability to convey the sense of emotional vulnerability and despair that characterizes the singer's struggle is nothing short of breathtaking, making this song an enduring anthem of love and fear.

Obawiam się ciebie
I am afraid of you

Czasem nawet boję się
Sometimes I am even scared

Złych myśli i pajęczyn
Of bad thoughts and webs

W zakamarkach duszy twej
In the corners of your soul

Boję się gdy patrzysz
I am scared when you look

Nie widząc wcale mnie
Without seeing me at all

I kiedy mnie nie słyszysz
And when you don't hear me

Gdy otwieram serce swe
When I open my heart

Tak patrzę jak za sobą
I look back at you like

Ciężar nienawiści wleczesz
You are carrying the burden of hate

Wybaczać nie umiesz
You don't know how to forgive
