Не ищу
Ночные Снайперы Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Не ищу я ненаглядную мою... Не ищу я...
Заблудились мы в земле московской, до самой до холодной до северной звезды. Нам завидуют шпионы и пираты, от Невского к Арбату, от мертвых до живых.
Не ищу я ненаглядную мою... Не ищу я...
Только падают иные, разбиваются в ладонях. Я не скрою - мне приятно, нежности необходимость. В проводах застряли нервы, в мониторах - наши чувства. Эшафотами - по тюрьмам, горизонтами - по стенам.
Я, ненаглядную мою... Не ищу я ненаглядную мою... Да, да, да я, ненаглядную мою...
These lyrics by Ночные Снайперы in their song "Не ищу" explore themes of being lost and searching for something in the vast and chaotic city of Moscow. The opening lines describe the feeling of being lost in Moscow, until reaching the "green star" in the singer's eyes, which symbolizes a sense of hope or direction. The lyrics suggest that even the wandering vagabonds envy them for having a purpose and women in their lives, despite being stuck in the forests.
The following lines continue the theme of being lost in Moscow, this time referring to the "cold northern star". The song implies that even spies and pirates envy them for their ability to move freely from Nevsky Prospekt to Arbat and from the dead to the living. The repetition of "Не ищу я" (I'm not looking) reveals that the singer is not actively searching for something or someone, possibly indicating a sense of contentment or acceptance with their current situation.
The final lines of the song describe the falling and destruction of others, while the singer finds pleasure and necessity in tenderness. The lyrics suggest that our emotions are trapped in wires and our feelings are displayed on monitors. The mention of "scaffolds" and "prisons" conveys a sense of confinement and restriction. The repeated refrain of "Я, ненаглядную мою" (I, my beloved) emphasizes that despite not actively seeking for someone, the singer still holds a deep affection for their beloved, suggesting a complicated emotional state.
