Opening
Ушко Lyrics

The lyrics of Ушко's song "Opening" convey a sense of frustration and desperation. The opening lines suggest a feeling of being rejected and misunderstood, as the singer claims there is no place for them in the world and that their class treats them poorly. They express their vulnerability and sadness, resorting to crying alone in the bathroom. In the next lines, the singer mentions being on a diet of juice and a particular apple drink, but deep down, they long for something more substantial - blood metaphorically described as flowing.

The chorus repeats the plea for someone to fall into their hands and for them to extract screams from them, indicating a desire for power and control. However, the singer asserts that these screams should remain internalized. The following stanza shifts the focus to a DNA relay race in which they were not accepted, leading to a numbness and extinguishing of the fire of life within them. The lyrics then mention how the singer was not wanted but was born anyway, and in their disappointment, they metaphorically "drank" their dreams.

The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the longing for someone to fall into their grasp, suggesting a need for connection or validation. The final lines raise the question of why there is a bitter taste and tears in their eyes, mentioning the shininess of glass beneath their cheekbones. The repeated phrase "Большего не надо" (meaning "I don't need more") perhaps implies that the singer has resigned themselves to their current state of dissatisfaction.

Overall, the lyrics evoke themes of rejection, longing for deeper meaning or connection, and a sense of bitterness and frustration.
