Szkody Od Narcystycznej Matki
NSFW Skirmish: Toxic (@ajna1960)Liner Notes
#lyricsonly #polish This song lyric is about abuse and trauma, so don’t read if you are sensitive to those topics. I wanted to write a whole song lyric in Polish this month, and thinking of toxicity reminded me that my first exposure to Polish was material on abusive relationships. Literally the first word I learned in Polish was “narcystycznych,” so writing in Polish about a narcissistic mother is a full-circle moment for me. I relied heavily on Apple for translation and didn’t have time in a skirmish to check every word, so some of the phrasing might be a little strained.
Lyrics
Dla przestępców izolatka trudna, Więc wyobraź sobie skutki dla dziecka. Jak uczysz się słów, Kiedy nigdy nie słyszysz głosu?
Zagadka z twoimi odpowiedziami, Szkody od narcystycznej matki.
W takim stanie nie ma pomocy dla nikogo. Powiedzenie czegokolwiek stwarza większe ryzyko. Co ludzie powinni robić? Trzymają się z daleka, aby się chronić.
Zagadka z twoimi odpowiedziami, Szkody od narcystycznej matki.
Muzyk musiałby opuścić moją grupę, Gdyby jego rodzice zobaczyli moją matkę. Który rodzic świadomie naraziłby dziecko Na takie niebezpieczeństwo?
Zagadka z twoimi odpowiedziami, Szkody od narcystycznej matki.
Większość przyjaciół nigdy nie widziała domu mojego. Nie wiedziałem, jak nienormalne to było.
Zagadka z twoimi odpowiedziami, Szkody od narcystycznej matki.

For criminals, solitary confinement is hard, So imagine the effects on a child. How do you learn words When you never hear a voice?
A puzzle with your answers, The damage from a narcissistic mother.
In such a state, there is no help for anyone. To say anything creates more risks. What are people supposed to do? They stay away to protect themselves.
A puzzle with your answers, The damage from a narcissistic mother.
A musician would have to leave my group If his parents saw my mother. What parent would knowingly put a child In such a danger?
A puzzle with your answers, The damage from a narcissistic mother.
Most of my friends never saw my house. I did not know how not normal this was.
A puzzle with your answers, The damage from a narcissistic mother.

It's always so sad the realization of majority of our childhoods. Excellent writing @hmstreetteam 🙏🏻
Strikingly powerful writing - you capture your narrative so clearly, and evocatively - the story you tell is very moving.
First of all, it is incredibly impressive to see a whole lyric in Polish! That's awesome. I am going to be commenting on the translation, because of course I don't understand polish. This is so deeply sad and it seems to be really visceral. As a linguist, this line got me especially: "How do you learn words / When you never hear a voice?" There have sadly been court cases in which that question has been answered. Great skirmish, and I'm really sorry for everything that brought these lyrics about.
I wish I knew how to pronounce Polish words so I could hear the melody of this. Alas...
I will say, though, this is an excellent example of trauma-surviving songwriting. I like it.
