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.
This Kind of Days
Varius Manx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Comes here from nowhere
Sometimes this kind of days
Comes here from nowhere
Sometimes this kind of days
Comes here from nowhere
A little drops of rain
I wonder for me
Frowns with my tears
I'm walking down the street
I guess I lost myself
But it's strange
Cause I've been living here for years
I feel so small and fragile
Like little leaves in grass, but
And moment I feel just a feather blowing in the wind
Blowing in the wind
Sometimes this kind of days
Comes here from nowhere
And teases my feelings
A little girl from the past
Suddenly wakes up inside of me
I know
If I could turn back the time
If I could push the clock rewind
I would do it now?
Oh dear,
I swear
I'm lying on the sand
And talking to my toy
We're dreaming on
Strolling around lollypops
My mommy is so young
She is smiling all the time
Daddy says that I'll be like she
Someday, I can't believe it's gone
But life still goes on
I'm walking down the street
And wiping my tears away
My lonely tears
Sometimes these kind of days
Comes here from nowhere
And teases my feelings
A little girl from the past
Suddenly wakes up inside of me
If i could turn back the time

Sometimes this kind of days
Occasionally, days that are this way
Comes here from nowhere
Appear suddenly and unexpectedly
A little drops of rain
Small droplets of rain
Are rolling down my face
Trickling down my cheeks
I wonder for me
I ponder to myself
Frowns with my tears
Are creases on my forehead caused by my tears
I'm walking down the street
I'm strolling along the sidewalk
I guess I lost myself
I feel lost or disoriented
But it's strange
However, it's peculiar
Cause I've been living here for years
As I've been residing here for many years
I feel so small and fragile
I feel minute and delicate
Like little leaves in grass, but
Similar to small blades of grass
And moment I feel just a feather blowing in the wind
At times, I sense that I'm merely a lightweight object being carried by the wind
Sometimes this kind of days
At times, these particular types of days
Comes here from nowhere
Appear suddenly and unexpectedly
And teases my feelings
And provokes my emotions
A little girl from the past
A young girl from my past
Suddenly wakes up inside of me
Sudden memories of her reappear inside of me
I know
I'm aware
If I could turn back the time
If I had the ability to go back in time
If I could push the clock rewind
If I could reverse time
I would do it now?
Would I do it immediately?
Oh dear,
Oh my,
I swear
I promise
I'm lying on the sand
I'm reclining on the sand
And talking to my toy
And conversing with my plaything
We're dreaming on
We're fantasizing
Strolling around lollypops
Walking around while enjoying lollipops
My mommy is so young
My mother was young
She is smiling all the time
She frequently smiled
Daddy says that I'll be like she
Dad believes I will resemble her
Someday, I can't believe it's gone
One day, my childhood disappeared, and it's difficult to accept
But life still goes on
However, life persists
I'm walking down the street
I'm strolling along the sidewalk
And wiping my tears away
And wiping my tears from my face
My lonely tears
My tears caused by loneliness
Sometimes these kind of days
At times, these particular types of days
Comes here from nowhere
Appear suddenly and unexpectedly
And teases my feelings
And provokes my emotions
A little girl from the past
A young girl from my past
Suddenly wakes up inside of me
Sudden memories of her reappear inside of me
If i could turn back the time
If I had the ability to go back in time
