The lyrics of "Sorbitol" by Men I Trust (translated to Polish) evoke a sense of nostalgia and reflection on the past. The opening lines mention taking a Flintstone pill, which symbolizes a desire to escape reality and retreat to a more innocent time. The imagery of a pantry on a hill serves as a metaphor for preserving the inner child within oneself.
The lyrics then continue to describe the teenage years and dreams of traversing the fields of Hyrule, a reference to the popular video game "The Legend of Zelda." The act of riding a bike represents the fast-paced progression of time and growing up too quickly.
The theme of freedom and gratitude emerges, with the artist acknowledging that they owe their sense of freedom to their mother and past experiences. The lyrics emphasize the importance of cherishing and remembering the days that gave them purpose and the ability to feel the same sense of freedom.
Towards the end, there is a profound realization that the artist does not fully know or understand their love interest's past, and their own actions have brought both shame and pride. This suggests an introspective acknowledgement of one's own faults and imperfections.
Overall, the song conveys a longing for simplicity, cherishing the past, and recognizing the impact of personal experiences on one's sense of self and relationships with others.
