Желтый Дом
Пилот Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
От координации ушли шаги,
Желтые оковы и обилье слез
И пеленою снов окутаны все дни.
Кажется пройдет, кажется все будет,
Кажется умрешь ты таким седым,
Да вот только в книге измененья судеб
Старенькая схема, ты погиб геройски.
Получи медаль да и сгинь совсем,
Умножая трупы на штандарты войска,
Кто остался жив - в желтых стенах нем.
Ну а в желтых стенах полосы решетки
Только удивителен лишь лунный свет,
Горькие раздумья на полу одиночки,
Вешаются те, кому уж выхода нет.
The lyrics of Желтый дом by Пилот depict a sense of detachment from reality and a feeling of hopelessness in the face of war and violence. The opening lines suggest a dissociation from reality, with the brain seemingly detached and steps losing their coordination. The imagery of yellow shackles and tears further evoke a sense of imprisonment and emotional pain. The singer's days are shrouded in a veil of dreams, suggesting escapism and perhaps an inability to confront harsh reality.
The following lines suggest a glimmer of hope, but a fleeting one at that. It seems like things will get better, but the idea of dying gray-haired suggests a prolonged and grueling struggle. The reference to a book of changing fates is interesting, as the singer seems to be grappling with the idea of destiny and the inevitability of war. The final lines imply a sense of defeat and sacrifice, with the image of a hero dying and the ones left behind trapped in yellow walls. The reference to the moonlight and bitter reflections suggest a sense of haunting and melancholy, with those who find no way out choosing to end their lives.
Overall, the lyrics of Желтый дом are a powerful commentary on the human cost of war and the emotional toll it takes on individuals. The use of vivid imagery and potent metaphor creates a haunting and evocative picture of a world torn apart by conflict.

Так вдруг оторвался от реальности мозг,
My mind suddenly disconnected from reality,
От координации ушли шаги,
My steps lost their coordination,
Желтые оковы и обилье слез
Yellow chains and an abundance of tears,
И пеленою снов окутаны все дни.
And all days are shrouded in a veil of dreams.
Кажется пройдет, кажется все будет,
It seems like it will pass, it seems like everything will be okay,
Кажется умрешь ты таким седым,
It seems like you will die in such a gray state,
Да вот только в книге измененья судеб
But in the book of fate, everything leads to war and smoke that never ends.
Все идет война, да не кончается дым.
Everything leads to war, but the smoke never clears.
Старенькая схема, ты погиб геройски.
The old scheme, you died heroically.
Получи медаль да и сгинь совсем,
You received a medal and disappeared completely,
Умножая трупы на штандарты войска,
Multiplying corpses by the army's banners,
Кто остался жив - в желтых стенах нем.
Those who remained alive - are silent in the yellow walls.
Ну а в желтых стенах полосы решетки
But in the yellow walls, the bars of the lattice,
Только удивителен лишь лунный свет,
Are only strangely illuminated by the moonlight,
Горькие раздумья на полу одиночки,
Bitter reflections on the floor of the solitary cell,
Вешаются те, кому уж выхода нет.
Those who have no way out, hang themselves.
