Компромисс
Би-2 & Prague Metropolitan Symphonic orchestra Lyrics

The lyrics of the song "Компромисс" by Би-2 & Prague Metropolitan Symphonic Orchestra speak about a dear friend who has changed himself for the worse. The friend used to be thin and young, but now he indulges in destructive habits like eating hearts, drinking, smoking, lighting up and extinguishing. He thought he would remain this way until the end, but something has gone wrong.

The friend's dreams have turned their back on him like the reverse side of a dream. There is dust lying on the strings, and rust under the window. The broken television has been smoothed out by the friend, but his life is now a constant cursed compromise, neither moving upward nor downward.

The chorus repeats these sentiments and addresses the friend directly, asking how he manages the sadness. They wonder if he chooses to drown his sorrows in alcohol or engage in sports. Perhaps he will take a risk and shake off old age, taking one last chord before it all ends.

Overall, the song seems to be a reflection on the consequences of making compromises in life and abandoning one's dreams. It portrays a friend who has given up on his aspirations and chosen a stagnant existence, facing the consequences of his choices.
