Республика
АлисА Lyrics

The first line of the song "Республика объединенных этажей" translates to "The Republic of United Floors" and sets the scene for the song as we understand that it takes place in a building with multiple floors. The next line "Гвардия ночи несёт караул до утра" translates to "The night guard carries out their watch until morning" and adds another layer to the setting, making it clear that the action takes place at night. The next few lines are particularly interesting as they speak on the importance of determination and how one must have a clear goal in mind if they want to achieve something quickly. The following line "Здесь же никогда не поздно и никогда не пора" means "It's never too late and it's never too early here", indicating that it's important to strike while the iron is hot in this particular "republic".

The next few lines mention a "last sip before heading to the well" (Последний глоток перед выходом к роднику) which could be interpreted in many ways, but could indicate taking one final moment to pause and reflect before moving on to the next big thing. The line "Кажется кто-то ищет нас где-то там вверху" means "It seems someone is looking for us up there" and adds an element of urgency and danger to the song. Another interesting line is "Папиросный дым - хорошее средство от сна" which means "Cigarette smoke is a good way to keep yourself awake", which, while not necessarily a healthy mindset, paints a vivid picture of a certain emotion or atmosphere in the song. Finally, the line "Я помню дорогу на крышу, возможно, это моя беда" translates to "I remember the way to the roof, perhaps this is my fault" and brings the song to a somber conclusion, leaving the listener with a feeling of ambiguity as to what led to this sense of responsibility or regret.
