PÓŁNOC / POŁUDNIE (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
He’s saying that even when he has advantages or opportunities (like having “Aces”), he still chooses not to use them to win, almost like he’s holding himself back. He admits he doesn’t fit in with the classy or proper crowd, even with smooth jazz playing in the background, which usually sets a calm, sophisticated mood. Then he shifts into deep thoughts—about past struggles, dreams, desires, and the bigger picture of life. He casually throws in things like wallets, cars, and children, showing how everyday life and deep thoughts mix in his mind. Sometimes he just wants to escape it all, be silly, watch a random movie, and enjoy something sweet like Nutella—basically, live in the moment and not think too hard about everything.

[Chorus]
His mind feels different now, like something’s changed inside him. He’s learning to accept and even love his thoughts and feelings, even though they come with heavy emotional baggage. He wonders where that baggage will take him, what he’s supposed to do with it. There’s a constant voice in his head—sometimes helpful, sometimes chaotic. It plays beautiful sounds at times, and weird nonsense at others, like monkeys clashing on plates. His mental state is unpredictable; what felt like midnight yesterday now feels like bright noon. He wants full control over his life, but he’s realizing that’s just an illusion. There’s this “doorman” in his head—like a mental gatekeeper—sometimes letting good things in, sometimes shutting them out without warning. He’s not planning to slow down or fight it anymore.

[Bridge 1]
He feels like nothing is moving forward right now, like life or progress is paused or unavailable.

[Verse 2]
He’s questioning everything—if life has a purpose, if there’s a plan behind the chaos. He doesn’t always know where he’s headed or why. He reflects on his career, politics, beliefs, and whether he keeps making the same mistakes. He thinks about bigger issues like war, and simpler, nostalgic things like how imperfect their old home was, with crooked ceilings. He mentions random stuff like the weather or a Sanah album, showing how his thoughts jump around. He’s also wondering what he should do next and what kind of reward or outcome he’s hoping for. It’s a mix of confusion, curiosity, and searching for direction.

[Chorus]
His mind still feels unpredictable, flipping from darkness to light. He wants to be in full control, but he’s accepted that it’s just not possible. The doorman in his mind, who controls what thoughts or emotions come in, is here to stay. Sometimes that doorman helps, sometimes he shuts him out.

[Bridge 2]
Now things feel open again—like possibilities have returned, energy is back, or the world feels welcoming for once.

[Chorus]
He’s still dealing with a whirlwind of thoughts, but he’s embracing them. He’s carrying a lot emotionally and mentally, but instead of running from it, he’s facing it. That voice in his head is part of him now—sometimes peaceful, sometimes loud and strange. He’s not afraid of it anymore. Life in his head may be messy, but it’s also alive and real.

[Outro]
He was going to experience it all anyway.
