Стрелки На Часах Бегут По Кругу
Элизиум Lyrics

The lyrics of Элизиум's song "Стрелки на часах бегут по кругу" explore themes of time, aging, fear, and the yearning for a better future. The repetitive line "Стрелки на часах бегут по кругу" (The hands on the clock go round and round) symbolizes the passage of time and the cyclical nature of life. The singer reflects on how everything passes and acknowledges their own aging, possibly feeling a sense of fear and uncertainty.

The repetition of the line "Может быть, я стал немного старше, Может быть, мне стало просто страшно" (Maybe I've become a little older, maybe I've simply become scared) emphasizes the singer's contemplation of their own mortality and the fears that come with it. However, there is a glimmer of hope in the lyrics as the singer envisions a future where happiness and thousands of ships will come to them from distant seas, taking them to a place where they will never die and where the superficiality of human existence will end, replaced by flowers everywhere.

The lyrics also touch on the idea of cherishing the past and not rushing to forget the faces of departed friends. The line "Может быть, не стоит торопиться Забывать друзей ушедших лица" (Maybe it's not worth rushing to forget the faces of departed friends) suggests the importance of treasuring memories and connections with people who have left.

The song raises existential questions without providing answers, encouraging the listener to reflect on their own journey. The final lines "Гнать вперед? Или остаться? Рассмеяться? Разрыдаться? Сделать лучше? Сделать хуже? Загляни зрачками в душу!" (Keep driving forward? Or stay behind? Laugh? Weep? Do better? Do worse? Look into the eyes of the soul!) serve as a call to introspection and decision-making, presenting the listener with the choice of their own path.
