Proč
Vjetef Lyrics

a zase je to blíž.
Odkud jen všechny chmury světa táhnou
a proč je zemská tíž?
Proč v zájmu peněz, víry, mocipánů
se lidi o životy rvou?
A co je žene do všech smělých plánů

Je spousta věcí, co se těžko chápou
a vysvětlujou hůř,
myšlenky těžký zas se na mě sápou
a zabodávaj nůž.

jak přišel na svět tenhle svět,
i kdyby věděl, tak to nepoví,
protože tohle téma podivný
prej pro nás není určený
a možná je to předem ztracený.

The song "Proč" by Vjetef is a contemplative and philosophical piece that delves into the mysteries of life and the human condition. The opening verse finds the singer sitting with their morning coffee, pondering the closer arrival of the clouds and the weight of the world's troubles. The following verses pose the titular question "Why?" concerning the violence and conflict brought on by human greed and power-hunger, and the futile pursuit of grand plans that may have already fallen apart.
The singer then acknowledges the difficulty of grasping such complex and heavy topics, feeling as though their own thoughts are stabbing at them like a knife. The chorus finds the singer expressing a desire to meet someone who knows the answers to these unanswerable questions, but fully acknowledging that even if they did, they may not be able to articulate them or even be allowed to do so.
Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the human condition and the struggles we all face in trying to comprehend the world around us and make sense of our own existence.

Sedím si takhle nad svou ranní kávou
I am sitting here with my morning coffee
a zase je to blíž.
And it's getting closer again.
Odkud jen všechny chmury světa táhnou
Where do all the world's clouds come from?
a proč je zemská tíž?
And why is gravity on Earth?
Proč v zájmu peněz, víry, mocipánů
Why do people fight for money, beliefs, and power?
se lidi o životy rvou?
Why do people fight for their lives?
A co je žene do všech smělých plánů
And what is left for the bold plans
i když už jsou dávno za vodou?
even though they are long gone?
Je spousta věcí, co se těžko chápou
There are many things that are difficult to understand
a vysvětlujou hůř,
And are explained even worse.
myšlenky těžký zas se na mě sápou
Heavy thoughts are hitting me again
a zabodávaj nůž.
And they stab me like a knife.
Přál jsem si potkat toho, co prej ví,
I wished to meet someone who supposedly knows
jak přišel na svět tenhle svět,
how this world came into being,
i kdyby věděl, tak to nepoví,
even if he knew, he wouldn't tell me,
protože tohle téma podivný
Because this topic is strange
prej pro nás není určený
apparently it's not meant for us
a možná je to předem ztracený.
And maybe it's lost from the start.
