сны
Елена Север Lyrics

The lyrics of Elena Sever's song "Сны" ("Dreams") describe a painful post-breakup situation where the singer is alone, missing her former partner and struggling to understand what went wrong. She starts by saying that she got everything again by herself, meaning that she's facing the aftermath of the breakup alone, just like she did before the relationship. She then describes the world that used to be theirs as divided into two parts, one for her and one without her. This split implies that she now feels excluded from the life she thought she had, and that it's hard to come to terms with this separation.

The next stanza talks about how the singer manages to let go of the past, describing how she rolled up their wars like a ball of yarn, without remembering any trace of bitterness. However, despite this metaphorical cleansing, she's not entirely at peace since she didn't cry, and yearns for something she can't name. The following verse is even more poignant since it describes her present as bleak, dark, and cold. The wine has lost its sweetness, and there's a void tightening around her.

In the last stanza, the lyrics circle back to the idea of a world divided into two parts, this time depicting it as encompassing only her and her ex-partner, with nothing else left outside. They are no longer together, and she's left with their scent and ashes of memories. The last two lines repeat the chorus, emphasizing the confusing, surreal nature of the dreams he left her with, which she still can't understand.
