I first heard 'Weather the Storm' (Insomnium) when watching a cool film clip on YouTube relating to the 'Polish Winged Hussars' and 'Rzeczpospolita'. It made me proud of my Polish heritage.
From my understanding, I believe, 'Rzeczpospolita' commonly refers to the autocracy of Poland as a Republic, which the Polish people support, celebrate, and have painstakingly strived to protect over many years. As Poland is surrounded by other European nations, it has naturally always remained a vulnerable target for occupation, infiltration, fertile land and possessions.
I think, 'Weather the Storm' is about hardships, strength, resilience, re-building and regaining dignity, which we can all relate to in life. Awesome, ha?
