Трубочный табак
Мара Lyrics

The song "Трубочный табак" by Мара is a reflection on a past relationship, and the mixed feelings that come with it. The lyrics describe smoking tobacco, which is compared to a dried plum, and the blue smoke that arises from the pipe seems to represent the singer's hazy and confused thoughts. The singer then goes on to think about the person they were in the relationship with, and how they both used to drink green tea together. This thought brings a strange sort of sadness to them, wondering where that person is now, and what they are doing.

The second verse of the song is where the singer starts to reflect on their own behavior during the relationship. They describe how they were killing themselves with jealousy, while the moon was dying in the snow. They wonder why the moon forgave their partner and not them, and express a feeling of overwhelming pain being swallowed by the moon. However, by the third verse, the singer has come to terms with the breakup and no longer feels sad. They describe their former partner as being cold and bitter, while they are going through life with an upward trajectory, leaving the past behind. The final line of the song repeats the question, "Where are you now?" which seems to suggest that while the singer has moved on, there is still a part of them that wonders about their old flame.

Overall, the song captures the feelings of nostalgia and regret that often come with a past relationship, and the mixed emotions of both longing and disdain for the person who is no longer in one's life.
