TRAMWAJE Lyrics – Taco Hemingway

TRAMWAJE Lyrics Meaning

[Zwrotka 1: Taco Hemingway]
He feels desperate and hungry for love, chasing memories like a stray dog chasing food, driven by strong longing. He feels younger again, acting on old habits, but he cannot even see her in dreams because he barely sleeps. He speaks to her with poetic nicknames, admitting his wild emotional appetite and asking forgiveness. Their relationship felt unhealthy, with only a few good moments, yet those moments still control him. He asks her not to listen to gossip from others and begs for trust, saying they are like two birds that belong together but struggle to move in sync. The night city of Warsaw feels magical to him, full of stars and energy. Streets turn into a dance floor, and the moon feels like it is calling her out, as if the city itself is trying to bring them together again.

[Refren: Taco Hemingway & Andrzej Zaucha]
He describes how everything feels darker lately, with less sunlight and heavier nights. Memories keep bothering him and refuse to let go. Even the moon feels distant, like it avoids talking about her, which makes loneliness worse. Nights feel painful, so he talks to music instead of a person. In his city, trams wander aimlessly after midnight, almost laughing as they all head toward the same area. Night routes feel controlled by strange forces beyond logic. He hopes the tram will somehow carry him closer to her. Writing these thoughts down becomes a way to cope, like leaving a quiet message in a notebook while drifting through the city.

[Zwrotka 2: Taco Hemingway]
He recalls a small but intense memory of being caught without tickets on a tram, both of them intoxicated in different ways. He was deeply in love, while she was emotionally unstable and close to leaving, which she did the next day. The fine from that moment became precious to him, so he framed it like art, because it represents their final shared memory. It still hangs in his kitchen, aged and yellowed, just like the pain left behind. He feels angry about another person who hurt her and still carries bitterness about it. His therapist tries to comfort him with clichés about endless options, but none of that matters to him. He does not want anyone else, only her, even if loving her means lifelong pain. He keeps riding the same tram without knowing why or where it leads. He imagines pointless actions, like staring into windows or ringing her door again, then stops himself. He feels trapped in emotional chaos and waits for some sign from the universe. When the tram suddenly brakes, panic erupts, matching his inner collapse. The noise and shock reflect how fragile he feels, showing how close he is to breaking under unresolved love and exhaustion.

[Przejście: Andrzej Zaucha]
He notices that in his city, night trams seem lost after midnight. Routes keep changing for no clear reason, as if strange forces control them. Almost every tram mysteriously stops near her place, teasing him with closeness again and again.

[Refren: Taco Hemingway & Andrzej Zaucha]
He repeats that days feel dimmer and nights heavier, and memories still haunt him while help feels far away. Loneliness hurts so much that even the moon feels silent about her. With no one beside him, he speaks through songs. In the city, trams drift after midnight like tired old machines. They seem to suggest rest and going home, but his thoughts keep wandering. Night routes feel ruled by strange powers. He promises to return later, choosing one last stop for a drink, because the night still feels young and unfinished. He avoids sleep, stretching the hours to delay facing the emptiness waiting for him.
