The band was formed when lead singer Aleksandr Vasilev, while working in at a theatrical institute, was introduced to keyboardist Nikolai Rostovskiy. The two formed a band, and risking Vasilev's job, began recording their first album in one of the institute's studios at night.
Despite the unstoppable rumours about the break-up situation of the group, Vasilev and Co. continue performing on different Russian and World stages. The members of the band have changed over time, but the Saint-Petersburg rock-band spirit has never left.
In recent months, the band has garnered international attention for the inclusion of their song "Be my Shadow" (Будь моей тенью) in Sergey Lukyanenko's bestselling novel, Night Watch, probably due to the mass popularity of the film of the same name.
In 2007, the group released their 9th studio album, Раздвоение Личности (Split Personality).
The Current band line up:
Aleksandr Vasilev - vocals, guitars
Aleksei Mesheryakov - drums
Vadim Sergeev - guitars
Nikolai Rostovskiy - keyboards
Dmitri Kunin - bass guitar
Орбит без сахара
Сплин Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Марки тоже наклеены
Тишина в холодильнике
Hа дачу смылись родители
Припев:
Она жует свой оpбит без сахара,
И вспоминает всех, о ком плакала
И ненавидит всех о ком плакала
Автоответчик пишет послания
CD поставлен на паузу
Родригес будет жить еще долго
А Duke Nukem должен умереть
Припев.
Она ходила голой на лестницу
Ходила голой на улицу
Она хотела даже повеситься
Hо институт, зкзамены, сессия
Припев.
The lyrics of "Орбит без сахара" by Сплин describe the struggle of a person, possibly a young girl, dealing with loneliness and the painful memories of people she has lost. The opening line talks about how all the pills are gone and how the empty fridge adds to the silence around her. The second line may refer to medication that she has taken or possibly recreational drugs, given the reference to the labels (марки). The fact that her parents have gone away to their country house (дача) emphasizes her isolation.
In the chorus, she chews Orbit gum without sugar which serves as a symbol of an empty and bitter life. The lyrics suggest that chewing gum and reminiscing about the people who have made her cry is her only source of comfort. The second verse talks about the autoresponder, this could be viewed as a metaphorical representation of her mental state, one of disconnecting, withdrawing and cutting herself off from the world. The mention of Rodriguez and Duke Nukem could reflect the ongoing battle between hope and despair that plagues her.
The final verse describes her desperation and despair in vivid detail. The reference to the girl walking around naked is symbolic of her vulnerability and her need for attention. She almost resorts to suicide but is held back by the fear of her academic commitments. The song ends with the chorus, highlighting that even though she desperately wants to escape her pain, the memories of those who caused it still haunt her.
