Снайпер
Би-2 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
На последней войне
Заблудился
Он смертельно устал
Там где мир на осколки
Разбился
Навсегда, навсегда
И почти не дыша
Он узнал то что видел в прицеле
А в прицеле душа
Невсегда потерявшая тело
Навсегда, навсегда
И уже не спеша
В темноте под чернильные свечи
Он смотрел как душа
Обнажается пуле на встречу
Навсегда, навсегда
The song "Снайпер" by Би-2 и Диана Арбенина tells the story of a lonely soldier who finds himself lost and exhausted during the last war. The soldier has reached a point where he is so tired that he is near the end of his life. In this bleak and fragmented world, the soldier has lost his way, and his body has been damaged beyond repair. The imagery here is very powerful as it paints a picture of a desolate and hopeless situation.
The lyrics also reveal that the soldier has come to a realization that what he sees through the scope of his rifle is more than just a target. In the end, he sees the soul of the person he is about to kill. It is a poignant and moving moment in the song as it shows the human side of war and the cost of taking another person's life. The soldier understands that the soul he sees is forever lost to him, and he is left with the burden of the knowledge of his actions.
Overall, "Снайпер" is a thought-provoking and powerful song that explores the human cost of war and the brutal realities that those who serve in the military face daily. The lyrics are beautifully written and filled with emotion, and the music adds an extra layer of depth and meaning to the song.
Line by Line Meaning
Одинокой солдат
A solitary soldier
На последней войне
In the final war
Заблудился
Lost his way
Он смертельно устал
He was deadly tired
Там где мир на осколки
Where the world is shattered
Разбился
He broke down
Навсегда, навсегда
Forever, forever
И почти не дыша
Almost out of breath
Он узнал то что видел в прицеле
He recognized what he saw in the scope
А в прицеле душа
But in the scope was a soul
Невсегда потерявшая тело
Not fully lost in death
Навсегда, навсегда
Forever, forever
И уже не спеша
And no longer in a hurry
В темноте под чернильные свечи
Under black candles in the darkness
Он смотрел как душа
He watched as the soul
Обнажается пуле на встречу
Unleashed itself towards the bullet
Навсегда, навсегда
Forever, forever
