Бляди
Ленинград Lyrics

The lyrics of Ленинград's song "Бляди" (Bl*ts) depict a man who is desperate for sexual pleasure, but lacking in both money and personal agency. He acknowledges that he is not a heroic figure, nor a skilled lover, despite being rich and famous. The repetition of "где же вы бляди" (where are you, b*tches) indicates that this is a common refrain in his internal monologue, reflecting his feelings of frustration and loneliness.

At one level, the song is a reflection of the hypersexualized nature of Russian culture, where prostitution is prevalent and men are expected to be sexually aggressive. However, it can also be seen as a commentary on the dehumanizing effects of wealth and fame, which can leave individuals feeling isolated and unfulfilled, despite their material success. The lyrical language is crude and direct, highlighting the objectification of women and the transactional nature of sexual relationships.
