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.
Tamta Cisza
Varius Manx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
W tamtą ciszę czuć życzliwe słowo myśl
Oddać wszystko co tak dobrze jest
Zrozumieć czy to co mam dziś wystarczy mi
Jeszcze wczoraj wszystko miało sens
Jeszcze wczoraj był prawdziwy każdy dzień
Tak chcę to widzieć
Tak chcę znowu wrócić choć na kilka chwil
W tamtą ciszę która wprawdzie kryła się
Wiem kim byłam w mych snach jeszcze tam
Ale nie wiem kim dziś jestem chociaż więcej wiem
Jeszcze wczoraj wszystko miało sens
Jeszcze wczoraj był prawdziwy każdy dzień
Tak chcę to widzieć
Czy to co mam choć niewielki ma sens
The lyrics to "Tamta Cisza" by Varius Manx convey the desire to revisit a past state of being. The singer yearns to return to a time where they could feel the warmth of kind words and thoughts. They want to relinquish everything that is good in their life to understand if what they currently have is enough. The song highlights the fleeting nature of life and how quickly things can change in a single day. The singer reflects on how yesterday everything made sense, and each day had meaning, but now they question if what they have in the present is enough.
The repeated phrase "tak chcę znowu wrócić choć na kilka chwil" which translates to "I want to go back even for a few moments" is significant because it portrays the depth of the singer's longing to return to their former state. The repetition emphasizes the desire for an escape from the present reality. However, the singer acknowledges that even if they were to return to their past self, the experience would not be the same, as they have changed and grown since then. The song expresses a common feeling of nostalgia that people experience, where they long for the past and the familiarity of what was once known.

Tak chcę znowu wrócić choć na kilka chwil
I want to go back for a few moments
W tamtą ciszę czuć życzliwe słowo myśl
To feel the kind words and thoughts of the past silence
Oddać wszystko co tak dobrze jest
To give back everything that was good
Zrozumieć czy to co mam dziś wystarczy mi
To understand if what I have today is enough for me
Jeszcze wczoraj wszystko miało sens
Yesterday, everything made sense
Jeszcze wczoraj był prawdziwy każdy dzień
Yesterday, every day was true
Tak chcę to widzieć
I want to see it again
Czy to co mam choć niewielki ma sens
Whether what I have, no matter how small, makes sense
W tamtą ciszę która wprawdzie kryła się
In that past silence that was hidden, though
Wiem kim byłam w mych snach jeszcze tam
I know who I was in my dreams back then
Ale nie wiem kim dziś jestem chociaż więcej wiem
But I don't know who I am today, although I know more

Człowiek jest szczęśliwy wtedy,
gdy czystym spojrzeniem potrafi
patrzeć na ludzi i sprawy,
gdy potrafi cieszyć się wszystkim
co go otacza,oraz gdy potrafi
kochać całym sercem otrzymując
miłość w zamian.Taki człowiek
jest zawsze pogodny,życzliwy
i po prostu szczęśliwy.Przecież
od Nas w większości zależy jakie
będzie nasze życie. Bądź
szczęśliwym człowiekiem zawsze....
