Вместо Жизни
Блондинка Ксю Lyrics

The lyrics to Блондинка Ксю's song Вместо Жизни tell the story of a love that has been lost. The first verse describes the memories left behind by the loved one who has gone. The imprint of his forehead on a foggy window and his scent in the tobacco are all that remain of his physical presence. However, his gaze is still present in the memory of the singer and will continue to live even after he has passed away. The singer laments that he will not live long enough to be able to experience life without his beloved.

The second verse speaks of the body of the loved one and how it wishes to hold on to life. The fingers of the loved one strive to reach for the sky, and his womb yearns for the petals of the flower. Again, the gaze of the loved one is seen in the singer's memories, and it is clear that even though he is gone, the singer can still feel his presence.

The chorus contains a line that is repeated multiple times throughout the song, "Вместо жизни - три точки, вместо смерти - кусочки. От тебя осталась строчка не оконченная." This translates to "instead of life - three dots, instead of death - pieces. From you, only an unfinished line remains." This line captures the essence of the song, which is that even though the loved one is no longer present, he has left behind fragments of himself that continue to have an impact on the singer.
