МАМА
August Lyrics

The lyrics of August's song "МАМА" touch on themes of self-expression, escapism, and the pursuit of happiness. The opening lines "Сколько бы ни было промахов я снова двигаюсь, двигаюсь мама" (No matter how many mistakes I make, I keep moving, moving, mama) showcase a determination to keep going despite setbacks. The artist uses the metaphor of smoking, stating "Курю второй после первого, чтобы почувствовать себя нормально" (I smoke a second after the first to feel normal), implying that he seeks temporary relief or comfort in certain habits.

The following lines "Курю ещё, через облака смотрю на звёзды" (I smoke more, looking at the stars through the clouds) indicate a desire to escape from reality and find solace in a dreamy, otherworldly state. It seems as though the artist is trying to find a sense of calm and happiness in fleeting moments. The phrase "Улыбаюсь ведь это просто, Быстрее чем rollercoaster" (I smile, because it's simple, faster than rollercoaster) signifies an appreciation for simple joys and an inclination toward excitement and thrill.

The lyrics further depict a scene where the artist is in a room, perhaps Number 9, igniting a joint and shining brightly like a garland. The line "Докурил ещё один затем 2 миллиграмма загрязняют фанту" (Lit up one more, then 2 milligrams pollute fantasy) suggests an increasing reliance on substances to escape and create an altered reality. The mention of the fruit "Papaya" and the strain "blueberry" on someone's cheek further adds to the atmosphere of indulgence and sensory pleasure.

The lyrics then shift to describe a dimly lit room where someone breathes in the fog, associating it with the presence of smiley-faced bats. The line "Так высоко будто на крыше" (So high, like on a roof) alludes to a heightened state of euphoria or being above mundane concerns. The artist wears a ski mask, possibly as a means of protecting their identity or preserving anonymity in their activities. The request to turn down the stereo and the line "Мне так все равно кто там обижен" (I don't care who's offended) conveys a sense of indifference to the opinions or judgments of others.

The artist then mentions a lowered matte body of a car and someone writing notes while browsing a sit-shop. These phrases could imply a hedonistic lifestyle where the pursuit of pleasure takes precedence over other responsibilities.

In the next verse, the lyrics touch on love and desire. The mention of a sleepless night and the ability to feel a touch indicates a strong emotional connection. The artist finds pleasure in dark Versace glasses, highlighting their attraction to elements of mystery or sensuality. The line "Четвёртый закручивал на ее заднице" (Twisting the fourth one on her backside) suggests a sexual encounter, adding to the motif of seeking pleasure and satisfaction.

The lyrics return to the chorus, emphasizing the artist's resilience and unstoppable drive despite making mistakes. The repetition of smoking and looking at the stars through clouds reflects the ongoing search for comfort and escape. The phrase "Вовсе не понял о чем ты" (I didn't understand what you were talking about at all) hints at the artist struggling to connect with someone or perhaps not fully comprehending their intentions or desires. Ultimately, the lyrics portray a person seeking solace, pleasure, and happiness within the realm of their own experiences and personal indulgences.
