Никто
Би-2 Lyrics

The opening lyrics express a sense of being lost or forgotten, as the singer admits to forgetting with what word "жди" (wait) rhymes. The next line indicates the abundance of words that time carries with it, which could imply that the singer has lost track of time, or is feeling overwhelmed by the passage of it. The image of an old woman sharpening a sickle or scythe, symbolizing love, appears in front of the singer. This suggests that the singer associates love with the grim reaper - a personification of death - as love in the context of the song may represent the end of something, like the end of a relationship or the loss of one.

As the song progresses the fear that the singer is experiencing is changing colors, indicating a shift in emotions. The fear takes the form of a dark shadow that falls upon the singer's white walls, further exemplifying the metaphorical battle between dark and light, possibly representing good versus evil or happy versus sad. The chorus repeats the phrase "Никто не придет" (nikto ne pridet), meaning "No one will come," which suggests that the singer may be feeling abandoned or like they are in a hopeless situation.

The second verse continues to describe the singer's struggle with expressing their emotions, leading them to resort to music as a form of communication. The imagery of a white jazz, and later on black keys with a dog waltz, symbolizes the two different emotions competing with one another, further emphasizing the dichotomy previously established between dark and light. The line "Я писал о тебе белый стих," meaning "I wrote about you in a white verse," represents the singer's attempt to express their love in a pure way. However, the "wild dance" of the black ink, symbolizing the chaos of negative emotions, seemed to have been too strong to be overcome, leaving the singer feeling vulnerable and weak.
