The band's debut album, The Beginning, which consisted entirely of instrumental music, was released in 1990 with average success. By 1993, the band released the follow-up, The New Shape, with the line-up expanded to include Sławomir Romanowski and Robert Amirian. The album featured vocals by Robert Janson and Robert Amirian, along with guest vocalists including Edyta Bartosiewicz.
The band's breakthrough was the 1994 album Emu, which marked a significant change in musical direction, i.e. the band now had a lead singer, Anita Lipnicka, and started performing primarily in Polish. This formula was highly successful, and both Emu and the following 1995 album, Elf, sold more than half a million copies each. In 1995, the band won a Polish music award, the Fryderyk, for best Polish music group. Furthermore, the band provided a number of songs (mostly from Elf) for the soundtrack of the movie Młode wilki.
In 1996, Varius Manx appeared on the television show "Szansa na sukces", a kind of karaoke show in which the participants sing the songs of the visiting band. The winner of the show was the 19-year-old Kasia Stankiewicz. When, shortly afterwards, Amirian and Lipnicka both left the band, the remaining members asked Stankiewicz to join the band as new lead singer. This new line-up recorded Ego, which featured the band's biggest hit to date, the song "Orła cień".
In 1997, the band released its 6th album, End, which was a commercial hit, though it sold far less that the band's preceding albums.
In 2000, Varius Manx released their first compilation album Najlepsze z dobrych, which included four new songs along with remastered versions of the band's greatest hits. Shortly afterwards, Kasia Stankiewicz left the band and was replaced by Monika Kuszyńska. With her as lead singer, the band recorded the albums Eta (2001), Eno (2002) and Emi (2004).
In 2006, during the band's summer tour, the band members were involved in a car accident, which left lead singer Monika Kuszyńska paralyzed from the waist down. The band suspended its activities until 2010, then with a new lead singer, Lari Lu, with whom the band recorded the album Eli (2011).
The band's current lead singer, since 2013, is Edi Ann.

Varius Manx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tak malo siebie znasz
Przemierzasz tysiac swoich dróg
I nie wiesz dokad pójsc
Kazdy nowy dzien
Dla Ciebie inny jest
Zamkniete slowa w cieniu lez
Zamieniasz w dobry gest
Poplyniesz razem z nim
Noc zastapi dzien
Usmiechniesz znowu sie
Jak dlugo bladzic chcesz
Uciekac wciaz przed dniem
Obcych ludzi tylu mija Cie
W nieskonczonosc biegna gdzies
Drwi z Ciebie gluchy los
Nie wzywaj wiec go
Uslysz cisze, która wokól jest
Zamyslona pieknie tak

These lyrics talk about a sense of not knowing oneself and the feeling of not knowing much about the world. The song starts by saying that there is so much that the person still doesn't know and that they don't know themselves well either. They feel like they are traveling through countless roads but don't know where to go. Each new day feels different for them.
The next verse suggests that the person keeps their words hidden and turns them into kind gestures. It implies that they struggle to express themselves verbally, but their actions speak for them. They may have a tendency to keep their emotions hidden, choosing to show kindness instead.
The lyrics then mention that the wind will catch up with the person and they will flow with it. It could be interpreted as embracing change or going with the flow of life. The night will replace the day, and they will smile once again. This could signify finding joy and contentment even in uncertain or challenging times.
The following lines ask how long the person wants to wander and keep escaping from the day. It suggests that they may be avoiding facing reality or trying to escape from something. They feel surrounded by so many unfamiliar people, constantly passing by them as if running endlessly somewhere. The lyrics hint at a feeling of being detached or distant from others.
The song then mentions a deaf destiny that mocks the person. It advises not to call upon it and instead listen to the silence that surrounds them. This silence is described as contemplative and beautiful. It may indicate the importance of introspection and finding peace within oneself amidst the chaos of life.

Tak malo jeszcze wiesz
You still know so little
Tak malo siebie znasz
You know yourself so little
Przemierzasz tysiac swoich dróg
You travel a thousand of your own paths
I nie wiesz dokad pójsc
And you don't know where to go
Kazdy nowy dzien dla Ciebie inny jest
Each new day is different for you
Zamkniete slowa w cieniu lez
Closed words in the shadow of tears
Zamieniasz w dobry gest
You turn them into a good gesture
Wiatr dogoni Cie
The wind will catch you
Poplyniesz razem z nim
You will float with it
Noc zastapi dzien
Night will replace the day
Usmiechniesz znowu sie
You will smile again
Jak dlugo bladzic chcesz
How long do you want to wander
Uciekac wciaz przed dniem
To keep running away from the day
Obcych ludzi tylu mija Cie
So many strangers pass you by
W nieskonczonosc biegna gdzies
They run somewhere into infinity
Drwi z Ciebie gluchy los
Deaf fate mocks you
Nie wzywaj wiec go
So do not summon it
Uslysz cisze, która wokól jest
Hear the silence that is around
Zamyslona pieknie tak
Thoughtful, beautifully so
