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).

Еще один дождь
Пикник Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Еще Один Дождь поет за окном
Для тех кто в бреду он сладкая дрожь
Зови его так - Еще Один Дождь
То рвать провода, то бить по стеклу
Такая судьба случилась ему
Зато он мастак, все ставить ни в грош,
Так зачем за окном
В мокром платье одном
Ты стоишь день за днем.
А дождь сплетет тебе серебряный шарф,
А дождь обнимет прозрачной рукой,
Сто долгих дней он тебя поджидал,
Сто долгих дней он мечтал о такой.
Так зачем за окном
В мокром платье одном
Ты стоишь день за днем.
Прошу тебя, да Еще Один Дождь.
The song "Еще Один Дождь" by Russian rock band Пикник (Picnic) is about the rain and how it provides comfort and solace to those who are lost in their thoughts. The song opens with the lines "Еще Один Дождь мой дом сторожит" which translates to "One more rain watches over my home." The rain is personified throughout the song and is referred to as "Еще Один Дождь" meaning "One More Rain" which suggests that the rain is not just a weather phenomenon, but a recurring presence in the singer's life.
In the chorus, the singer asks why someone is standing outside in the rain, "Так зачем за окном в мокром платье одном ты стоишь день за днем" which translates to "So why are you standing outside in a wet dress day after day." The singer encourages the person to embrace the rain, to let it hug them with its transparent hands, and to let it weave them a silver scarf. The rain is painted as a friend in this song, and the singer pleads to have one more rain, to have a companion in the form of the rain.
Overall, the song "Еще Один Дождь" by Пикник is a beautiful and poetic ode to the rain, which is personified as a friend who brings comfort and solace to those who are lost in their thoughts. The song's lyrics highlight the rain's beauty and provide a reflective and introspective tone that encourages the listener to embrace the rain and to cherish its presence.
