Mój blok Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
In the intro, the artist sets the scene by introducing the neighborhood of Muranów, a place filled with elderly residents. He makes it clear that there’s nothing exciting happening there, implying that the area is mundane and uneventful. It feels like he’s almost warning the listener not to expect anything interesting in this part of town.

[Refren]
In this part, the artist expresses a strong desire to leave his current situation, hoping to make some money and improve his life. He doesn’t ask for much—just a small apartment with a bathtub. He’s frustrated with living in this strange, abnormal neighborhood full of elderly people. The line about someone staring at him, as if he’s a thief, adds a sense of alienation. Despite all that, he claims the block as his own, mentioning its decay and dark atmosphere, but still feeling some pride and ownership over it. The repeated phrase “z fartem” (good luck) adds a sarcastic tone, wishing himself and others luck in dealing with the hardships.

[Zwrotka 1]
The verse starts with the artist describing how he fell asleep in a church, waking up to the sound of bells, a moment of calm in an otherwise chaotic environment. He interacts with the elderly residents, but the moment quickly turns bizarre. He describes his overweight neighbor carrying 30 rolls of bread, then makes a humorous comment about how ridiculous that is, only to find out that the neighbor is sucking up to his mom. He then describes the unpleasant smells in the building and the chaotic life of his neighbors, like a sick woman running an illegal animal breeding operation. Even Napoleon would be overwhelmed by this mess, he jokes. The violence in the building is also evident, with a neighbor being abused by her new partner, and even her son getting involved in the fight. It’s a grim and unsettling picture of life on his block.

[Refren]
Once again, the chorus reflects the artist’s yearning to escape his current life. He dreams of earning money and moving into a simple place with just a bathtub. His current neighborhood, full of elderly people, is anything but normal, yet there’s a sense of defiance as he tells off anyone judging him. Despite the decay and chaos, it’s still his block, and he takes ownership of it. The “z fartem” repetition continues, reinforcing the sarcastic but hopeful attitude toward the situation.

[Zwrotka 2]
In this verse, the artist describes a shady character who used to live in the block but is now hiding after some sketchy dealings with younger residents. He got caught up in something for a small amount of money and ended up in a violent situation, with a film made of him struggling. Meanwhile, tourists come to visit the area, seemingly oblivious to the dark reality, as the elderly residents continue living in poor conditions, “sizzling” like forgotten souls. The artist mentions a neighbor whose mental health has deteriorated to the point where he doesn’t recognize his own daughter and reads newspapers upside down. The artist is fed up with the block, scared of growing old in this depressing place, and haunted by dreams of a particular apartment that he can’t shake from his mind.

[Refren]
The chorus repeats, once again emphasizing the artist’s desire to escape and earn enough money to move into a better place, even if it’s just a small apartment with a bathtub. His current situation, surrounded by elderly people and decay, feels stifling, but he still claims the block as his own. The sarcastic repetition of “z fartem” adds to the sense that despite the grim circumstances, he’s trying to keep a sense of humor about it.
