Unusual arrangements, self-invented musical instruments and esoteric lyrics make the band a completely unique occurrence in the Russian rock music genre. Lyrics contain themes such as Ancient Egypt, vampires and mysticism. Shklyarsky is the band's main singer-songwriter, composing both music and lyrics. Also his own paintings were used as few albums' cover art.
Пикник's logo is a made up kanji-like symbol (which makes more sense for Russian speakers as Chinese/Japanese as well as Ancient Egyptian characters are all called "hieroglyphs" in Russian language).

Два великана
Пикник Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
И дрожь вас не сможет спасти,
Поссорятся два великана
Землю начнут трясти.
Непонятно на что намекая,
Задыхаясь от соков внутри,
Поссорятся два великана
Землю начнут трясти.
Да они - Повелители пыли,
Словно замерли, посмотри,
Чтоб большие глаза не остыли,
Поджигают себя изнутри.
Забываются, машут руками,
Каждый мускул на шее искрит,
С раскаленными бродят висками,
От бумажных созданий вдали.
Не двигайтесь, вы ведь из камня,
Не мешайте им руки сплести,
Вся надежда на двух великанов,
Расплескавших рассудок в пути.
Не двигайтесь - будет как было,
Они мимо пройдут не спеша,
Им вослед заволнуется пыль -
Мира душа.
The song Два великана, by Russian rock band Пикник, tells the story of two giants who are fighting each other, causing the earth to shake. The opening lines suggest that they are made of stone and impervious to any harm, but they will still shake the earth with their fighting. The song talks about their power and how their movements cause the earth to tremble. It is unclear why they are fighting, but the lyrics suggest that they are consumed by their own power and become reckless.
As the song progresses, the lyrics go on to describe how the giants become lost in their own power, waving their arms and muscles twitching. They become so consumed that they begin to ignite themselves from the inside. The line "Povetiteli pyli" (the rulers of dust) suggests that these giants are not real, and are perhaps a metaphor for something more abstract, like the forces of nature or the conflicts of humans.
The chorus brings a sense of despair, with the singer asking the listener not to interfere, but instead to watch the giants from a safe distance. The line "Vsyu nadezhdu na dva vellikana" (All hope is on two giants) refers to the idea that power can be destructive or constructive, and that the giants have the potential to change the world, for better or worse.
Overall, the song is an intriguing metaphor for the destructive power of human conflict and the fragility of the natural world. It is a poignant reminder that power comes at a cost, and that we must be mindful of our actions and the consequences they may bring.

Не двигайтесь, вы ведь из камня,
Don't move, you are made of stone after all,
И дрожь вас не сможет спасти,
And trembling won't be able to save you,
Поссорятся два великана
Two giants will quarrel,
Землю начнут трясти.
And shake the ground.
Непонятно на что намекая,
Unclearly hinting,
Задыхаясь от соков внутри,
Gasping for breath from juices inside,
Поссорятся два великана
Two giants will quarrel,
Землю начнут трясти.
And shake the ground.
Да они - Повелители пыли,
Yes, they are the rulers of dust,
Словно замерли, посмотри,
As if frozen, look,
Чтоб большие глаза не остыли,
So that big eyes won't cool down,
Поджигают себя изнутри.
Burning themselves from the inside.
Забываются, машут руками,
They forget themselves, waving their hands,
Каждый мускул на шее искрит,
Each muscle in their neck sparking,
С раскаленными бродят висками,
Roaming with their heated temples,
От бумажных созданий вдали.
Away from paper creations.
Не двигайтесь, вы ведь из камня,
Don't move, you are made of stone after all,
Не мешайте им руки сплести,
Don't disturb them from weaving their hands together,
Вся надежда на двух великанов,
All hope is on two giants,
Расплескавших рассудок в пути.
Who have scattered their mind along the way.
Не двигайтесь - будет как было,
Don't move - it will be as it was before,
Они мимо пройдут не спеша,
They will pass by without haste,
Им вослед заволнуется пыль -
Dust will stir up behind them -
Мира душа.
The soul of the world.
