Дым
Мы Lyrics

The lyrics to Мы's song Дым (Smoke) are poetic and metaphorical throughout. The first two lines establish that there is only one person who is the smoke, and that person is the subject of the song. This smoke is then equated with water throughout the song, and the singer is compared to a flower petal being carried by the water. The use of the imagery of wind and sails further emphasizes the idea that the singer is powerless without the smoke.

The second verse continues with the metaphor of the singer being like smoke, but now the smoke is made up of tears from two eyes. The singer and their counterpart are both captains, but they are separated, with the singer being "somewhere else." The chorus repeats, emphasizing the centrality of the smoke in the singer's world.

In the final verse, the singer is compared to a rose field and their counterpart is a thunderstorm. Again, the singer is powerless without the smoke, and their description of themselves as "the smoke from a candle" and "the dust of boiling blood" conveys a sense of chaos and instability. Despite this, the singer sees themselves as inside the smoke, and encourages their counterpart to inhale them.

Overall, the lyrics of Дым convey a sense of longing, dependence, and a desire for unity with the smoke. The use of metaphor and imagery creates a dreamlike atmosphere that enhances these emotions.
