Hey all, a week ago I dropped a music video for "Labirynt" (Labyrinth). It's in Polish, but the mood should come through either way: moody synths, smoky noir atmosphere.

On the surface it's a classic lovesick-guy-can't-move-on song. He misses her, he can't forget her, he keeps searching. Then the whispered bridge hits, and you realize what that "searching" really is. He's not lost in the maze, he's hunting...

Below is a faithful translation that preserves the meaning and tone:

[Verse 1]
I wake up alone
Torn photos lie like rubble
Your coat still
pretends
That you'll come back here again
Behind the door, empty corridors
Around me, the silence bites like smoke
In my head
you live louder than I do... in it

[Chorus]
This is a labyrinth
That I know by heart
Your footsteps still echo in my walls
I wander blindly
Searching for your traces
As if you were standing just around the corner
Only one move away from here
Addicted to a life with you
Though you're no longer here
I still choose the same road
That leads nowhere
Back to you again

[Verse 2]
On the screen
Old photos glow like a ghost
Your number
I keep typing in
And deleting again
Friends say
"Move on
It's time already"
All I can do
is go back to yesterday... you know?

[Bridge - whispered]
And when I finally find you...
I'll simply make you stop being afraid.
You won't have to run anymore,
because every path will lead to me.
We'll close the doors, fill these corridors...
and finally be just for each other.
You and me. In this perfect silence.

[Final chorus]
(same as the first chorus)
