Некий никто
Високосный год Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Призрачный ранний в сером пальто
Призрачный раненый или больной
Ходит под окнами, просит воды,
Смотрит нам в лица, а видит зады.
Призрачный ранний человек без лица
До смерти может испугать мертвеца,
Если не скрыть его серым пальто...
Призрачный раненый - некий Никто.




Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Некий Никто" by Високосный Год describe a mysterious figure wandering around in a gray coat, seemingly in pain or wounded. This person is described as spectral, faceless, and capable of frightening even the dead. The lyrics suggest that this person is asking for water and looking at people's faces but only seeing their backs, possibly hinting at a sense of alienation and disconnection from others.


Overall, the lyrics evoke a sense of mystery and intrigue, drawing the listener into a world of uncertainty and fear. The repetition of the phrase "призрачный раненый" (ghostly wounded) reinforces the spectral and unsettling nature of this figure, while the use of contrasting colors (gray vs. faces) creates a sense of starkness and unease.


Interestingly, "Некий Никто" was inspired by a poem of the same name by Russian poet Vladimir Mayakovsky. The song has been interpreted in various ways, with some suggesting that it represents the alienation and isolation of modern society, while others see it as a commentary on the dehumanizing effects of war and violence.
