Сокол
Би-2 Lyrics

The song Сокол (Sokol) by Би-2 explores the themes of love, secrecy, and escape. The lyrics suggest that everything will be explained in the last moment and that the splashes of past passions will play their roles. The heart is depicted as being caught in the loop of encrypted tapes that will reveal the passwords of a secret love. The next day won't come, and the night is just an excuse to hide the coldness behind the eyes. The title, "Sokol," translates to "Falcon" in English, and the lyrics refer to this bird as something that has gone out of touch.

The second verse talks specifically about the falcon not responding and something happening to the lover that leads to a potential loss of affection. The falcon not being in touch could also refer to the singer's feeling of loneliness, as the bird usually symbolizes freedom through the skies. In this case, it's an escape from something that's not fully expressed. Then the lyrics mention that escape is a bold but secret means to survive. The bridge of the song goes on to stress that communication through the air falls silent, the water is mute, and the radio waves are beating against the shore. These could be metaphors for feeling disconnected and isolated from the outside world. The lyrics end on the somber note that the next day won't come, and the night is just an excuse to hide the coldness.
