Тюльпан
Рем Дигга Lyrics

The lyrics of Рем Дигга's song "Тюльпан" delve into themes of love, loss, and the complexities of relationships. The opening lines express a sense of longing and distance in the relationship, with the singer lamenting how rarely they look into the other person's eyes or soul anymore. The gesture of throwing dust back into their eyes symbolizes a desire to regain their attention, but it seems that the other person no longer finds the singer's gaze necessary.

The following verses reflect a sense of weariness and resignation. The singer admits to feeling tired of singing songs and being in a place (presumably a performance hall) where they no longer feel at home. The idea of parting is difficult, yet being together has become unbearable, creating a bittersweet and conflicted emotion within the relationship.

The metaphor of the umbrella straight and the rain slanting symbolizes the inherent drama and discomfort in their dynamic. The questioning of "roses" and the seriousness of love further highlights the uncertainty and doubt present in the relationship. The repeated refrain of "Я убил для тебя тюльпан" (I killed a tulip for you) metaphorically suggests sacrificing something beloved for the sake of the other person, only to realize the futility and emptiness of the gesture. The imagery of stealing a tulip from the earth and wrapping it in rubber denotes a sense of artificiality and manipulation in trying to preserve or save something that was ultimately meant to perish.

The final verses touch upon feelings of being lost and disconnected, with the singer observing the world pass by with a detached gaze. The use of "Девочка моя, родная" (My dear girl) adds a personal and affectionate tone to the narrative, but it is juxtaposed with a sense of regret for missed opportunities and paths not taken. The impending separation is portrayed as inevitable yet painful, with the urgency to break free and embrace the unknown future. The repeated questioning of the purpose and significance of the sacrificed tulip reinforces the theme of questioning one's actions and sacrifices in the name of love.

In the concluding lines, the aggressive exclamation "А, с*ка!?" adds a raw and emotional dimension to the lyrics, underscoring a sense of frustration and anger beneath the surface. The repetition of the act of killing and stealing the tulip emphasizes the cycle of loss and longing that permeates the relationship, ultimately culminating in a realization of the transience and fragility of love and connections. The final question "А действительно ли это 'живые' розы?" (Are these 'real' roses after all?) encapsulates the uncertainty and doubt surrounding the authenticity and depth of the emotions and gestures exchanged between the singer and the other person.
