TRAMWAJE (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1: Taco Hemingway]
He compares himself to a restless animal, always chasing desire and memories, showing how desperate and uncontrolled his longing feels. He keeps running emotionally like he did years ago, stuck in old habits and feelings. He no longer dreams about her because sleepless nights have taken over, showing exhaustion and anxiety. He calls her rare and special, while admitting his own hunger for love and attention that may have pushed too hard. Their relationship was unhealthy and short, yet those moments still control him and guide his actions. He warns her not to trust gossip from her dramatic friend, trying to defend their bond. By comparing them to birds that struggle to move together, he admits they were never fully in sync. Still, he believes the connection was real, just difficult. Nighttime Warsaw feels strange and magical to him, matching his emotional state. The stars, streets, and moon turn the city into a dreamlike party. He imagines the moon inviting her to dance for him, showing how he still includes her in everything he sees and feels, even when she is gone.

[Chorus: Taco Hemingway & Andrzej Zaucha]
He talks about how life feels darker lately, with less warmth and more emotional weight. The days bring little comfort, and nights stretch longer, filled with thoughts he cannot escape. Memories keep attacking him, no matter how much he wants peace. Even the moon feels distant, like the universe refuses to help him process the loss. Being alone at night feels painful, so he speaks to music as if it can listen. The city becomes part of his sadness, especially the trams moving after midnight. Old trams feel alive, laughing and roaming without purpose. He imagines mysterious forces controlling their routes, making everything feel out of control. Riding them becomes a hopeful act, like maybe they can carry him closer to her. Writing in his notebook is his way of reaching out, asking her to notice his feelings.

[Verse 2: Taco Hemingway]
He looks back at a specific memory on a tram that captures their whole relationship. They were reckless, intoxicated, and emotionally unstable, yet deeply connected in that moment. The fine they received becomes symbolic, because instead of throwing it away, he preserves it like a treasured photo. Framing it shows how he clings to the past, even when it is embarrassing or painful. The paper aging over time mirrors how the memory has faded but never disappeared. He mixes this with anger toward someone who hurt her, suggesting jealousy and lingering resentment. Therapy advice sounds empty to him, because casual replacements mean nothing. He does not want options or distractions, only one impossible, magical version of love. He continues riding the same tram without knowing why, showing how stuck he feels in routine and grief. Each possible stop reflects unhealthy behaviors, like obsessing over her space or replaying memories. He realizes he needs a sign to escape this mental chaos. As the tram suddenly stops and panic hits, it reflects an emotional breakdown. The crash sound suggests his inner world collapsing, where obsession, love, and confusion finally collide. He questions himself repeatedly, which shows how circular his thoughts have become. The tram ride turns into a loop, just like his emotions that never reach closure. Ordinary city sights feel loaded with meaning because he assigns her presence to them. Even humor appears, but it is dark and defensive, hiding vulnerability. His search for a cosmic sign shows desperation for external help. The chaos on the tram mirrors his lack of control over feelings. Love here feels thrilling and destructive at the same time, leaving him exhausted.

[Transition: Andrzej Zaucha]
He notices how the city feels guided by strange forces at night. Trams move endlessly after midnight, as if they have their own will. Constant timetable changes feel personal to him. It almost seems like fate keeps sending trams to stop near her place, feeding his obsession and keeping hope alive, when sleep never comes.

[Chorus: Taco Hemingway & Andrzej Zaucha]
He repeats the idea that darkness has taken over his days and nights. Emotional pain feels constant, and memories refuse to fade. This time the situation feels more serious, like help is needed to survive the heartbreak. The moon again feels unresponsive, showing how alone he feels in the universe. Nights without her feel unbearable, so he keeps singing to cope. Trams still roam late, sounding tired and worn out, just like him. He talks about returning later through familiar night spots, suggesting escape through routine. The night still being young shows he is not ready to let go yet. Movement replaces rest, and wandering becomes his way of avoiding silence and final acceptance, as dawn stays far away.
