Verse 1

I have a cactus and a fern flower on my head

Somehow it grew here and it's been growing for years

I'm gone, falling down, I'm scared

Neurological tangles, coils

Chorus 1

And the hum of thoughts, hum, hum, hum

When I hear the crowd, crowd, crowd

I understand little, the map's unreadable

Around the corner boom, boom, a boomerang blow to the head

Pink streaks, I'll remember the voice

I'll see a flash, flash, flash

And a ringing in my ear, ring, ring, ring

A quiet mumble of ragged breath

With a treacherous s-s-strike

It wanted to destroy

Verse 2

I'm standing straight, I won't open the gates

Inside me there's a desert

Warsaw can fit inside

I'm planting palm trees, shrubs

And I'm starting a garden

I look up, bent in half

I'm not afraid

Strength from the source, I feel the scent, I know

Chorus 2

And the hum of thoughts, hum, hum, hum

When I hear the crowd, crowd, crowd

I understand little, the map's unreadable

Around the corner boom, boom, a boomerang blow to the head

Pink streaks, I'll remember the voice

I'll see a flash, flash, flash

And a ringing in my ear, ring, ring, ring

A quiet mumble of ragged breath

With a treacherous s-s-strike

It wanted to destroy

I'm standing straight, I won't open the gates

Bridge

I feel the strength, I know, I know, I know

I look up, I'm not afraid

I feel the strength, I know, I know, I know

I look up, I'm not afraid

I feel the strength, I know, I know, I know

I look up, I'm not afraid

I feel the strength, I know, I know, I know

I look up, I'm not afraid

Chorus 3

And the hum of thoughts, hum, hum, hum

When I hear the crowd, crowd, crowd

I understand little, the map's unreadable

Around the corner boom, boom, a boomerang blow to the head

Pink streaks, I'll remember the voice

I'll see a flash, flash, flash

And a ringing in my ear, ring, ring, ring

A quiet mumble of ragged breath

With a treacherous s-s-strike

It wanted to destroy

I'm standing straight, I won't open the gates

Outro

And the hum of thoughts, hum, hum, hum

When I hear the crowd, crowd, crowd

I understand little, the map's unreadable

Around the corner boom, boom, a boomerang blow to the head

Pink streaks, I'll remember the voice

I'll see a flash, flash, flash

And a ringing in my ear, ring, ring, ring

A quiet mumble of ragged breath

With a treacherous s-s-strike

It wanted to destroy

I'm standing straight, I won't open the gates

bumerangiem — with a boomerang

Bumerangiem means "with a boomerang." It's an instrumental form of the word "bumerang" (boomerang), an object not commonly found in song lyrics, making it quite unique and memorable.

In the song, the line "Za rogiem bum, bum, bumerangiem w głowę cios" (Around the corner, boom, boom, a blow to the head with a boomerang) creates a vivid and somewhat surreal image of an unexpected, perhaps self-inflicted, impact. This unusual imagery makes the word stand out and invites curiosity about the song's narrative.

Ever felt like you have a cactus growing on your head? That's the wonderfully weird and powerful image Polish artist BOVSKA uses in her song "Kaktus" (which means Cactus). The song dives into the feeling of being overwhelmed by anxiety and the noisy chaos of the world. The singer describes a mind full of a constant "hum, hum, hum" of thoughts, feeling lost with an "unreadable map," and facing sudden, painful moments that feel like being hit by a boomerang.

But this isn't just a song about struggle; it's a powerful anthem of resilience. Despite the fear and confusion, the singer finds an incredible strength within herself. She declares, "I stand straight, I won't open the gates," creating a safe inner world, a desert where she can plant her own garden. It's a beautiful metaphor for protecting your peace and finding the power to look up and say, "I'm not afraid."
