Воспитанник упавшей звезды
Мумий Тролль Lyrics

The song "Воспитанник упавшей звезды" (translated as "The Foster Child of the Fallen Star") by Мумий Тролль tells the story of a character who is described as being buffeted by all winds and having frozen tears on his lashes. The silver light that appears in the night is said to be the reflection of shattered glass at the bottom of the sea or the shards of a broken soul that once raced upwards, chased by a swarm of stones. The character is called the foster child of the fallen star, a metaphor that suggests he is someone who once had great potential but has become lost and fallen from grace.

The character's journey is described as a difficult one, one in which he has faced great challenges and obstacles. The metaphor of the stones that chase him suggests that he is pursued by his own failures and shortcomings. Despite this, he is not an angel nor a devil, but a mere mortal struggling through life. The lyric encourages the listener to catch his breath and look into the eyes of the heavens, to see the difficult path he has taken. The suggestion is that he needs water to drink, a metaphor for the sustaining force that keeps him going.

The lyric also touches on the concept of falling stars and how they can symbolize the defeats and setbacks that people can face in life. The metaphor of the falling stars is used to suggest that even though the foster child has fallen, he is not alone in his struggle. The song is a call to action - urging the listener to feel compassion for the foster child and to offer him the sustenance he needs to continue his journey.
