Verse 1
Music is music
But I'm alone in my room
My buddy is constant stress
It's time for the ego trip
My sink is full of soda water
I don't take photos
I won't sign your albums
I can't fit
The stories of your lives
When I ride the elevator
I'll follow the footprints
With a word of recognition
I'll wipe the left corner of my mouth
Prechorus 1
The inbox is full
Don't send anything
I'm slowly losing my voice
A few more good albums
I'll finally get out of here
Chorus 1
I'm becoming a monster, because then I feel that
Though I exist, I'm not really there
Thanks to that I can get on an old bike
Live in a tenement building
Not wash my hands
Postchorus
Every day I hear: you won something again
Soon there'll be no room for another diamond
You're ruining me
You're ruining me
Verse 2
I'll taste anonymity when
I take a quick trip abroad
I get strangely homesick then
When I take an invisible step
In the country by the Vistula
Everyone calls me by my first name
And my last name
Is a sign read aloud
Prechorus 2
The inbox is full
Don't send anything
I'm slowly losing my voice
A few more good albums
I'll finally get out of here
Chorus 2
I'm becoming a monster, because then I feel that
Though I exist, I'm not really there
Thanks to that I can get on an old bike
Live in a tenement building
Not wash my hands
Outro
I'm becoming a monster, because then I feel that
Though I exist, I'm not really there
Thanks to that I can get on an old bike
Live in a tenement building
Not wash my hands
I'm becoming a monster, because then I feel that
Though I exist, I'm not really there
Thanks to that I can get on an old bike
Live in a tenement building
Not wash my hands

potworemmonster

Potworem means "monster" in Polish. It's a powerful and evocative word that immediately grabs attention, suggesting a dramatic shift or internal struggle.

In the song, Dawid Podsiadło sings, "Staję się potworem, bo wtedy czuję, że / Choć jestem, tak naprawdę, nie ma mnie" (I become a monster, because then I feel that / Although I am, in reality, I am not there). This line reveals a deep, almost paradoxical feeling of existing yet being absent, using the imagery of a monster to convey a profound sense of transformation and detachment from his public persona.

Ever wondered what it's like to be a superstar? In "Trofea," which means Trophies, Polish artist Dawid Podsiadło gives us a peek behind the curtain of fame, and it's not all glamour and parties. The song is a powerful confession about the loneliness and stress that come with success. He sings about being overwhelmed by fan requests, constant praise, and the pressure to always be 'on'. It feels like he's losing his own identity in the process.

To cope with it all, he creates a persona, a kind of 'monster', that allows him to feel invisible. This escape lets him dream of a simple, anonymous life: riding an old bike, living in a regular apartment building, and doing everyday things without being recognized. It's a fascinating look at the high price of fame and the simple human desire to just be normal, even when you have a room full of trophies.
