Осень
ДУБОВЫЙ ГААЙЪ Lyrics

These lyrics depict a deep sense of melancholy and introspection that come with the arrival of autumn. The singer expresses their struggle to cope with the cold and damp air of the season, symbolized by "beating their head against the wet glass." The drops of autumn rain pouring down on them represent the overwhelming emotions that come rushing over them like a river. Washing themselves in the autumn rain signifies a desire to cleanse their soul or find solace in the fading warmth.

The singer acknowledges that their sadness is not solely about themselves or others but rather about something intangible. Autumn becomes a metaphorical catalyst for introspection and nostalgia. The burning memories evoke a bittersweet feeling, as if holding onto fading moments around the last fires of the season. They compare themselves to a dying child, emphasizing the vulnerability and fragility that autumn exposes in them.

The autumn whispers and intoxicates, asking for something from them. It elicits a strong longing to cry, just like the season itself. This annual arrival of autumn affects not everyone equally but only reaches out to certain individuals, as the singer mentions that it comes "not to everyone, but to someone among us." This suggests a personal connection or sensitivity to the emotions evoked by the season.

The rains of autumn pour down on the graves of sons, while these sons are somewhere nearby, crying alongside the season. The winds of sadness seem to have shattered their last hopes and dreams, and they are now left grieving, fully aware of their own mortality. This verse underscores the theme of loss and the profound impact it has on those left behind.

The singer metaphorically conceals their own gray days and thoughts in the fog that autumn creates. They liken this act to hiding their thoughts in a cloud of smoke from cheap cigarettes. Their feelings depart with the autumn, leaving only tears and sorrow as a memory. As the season eventually departs like dissipating mist, they fill a glass from a crumpled bottle, as if attempting to drown their sorrows. They acknowledge the fleeting nature of the season, apologizing to it, using the metaphor of it being already "dead."
