Ouverture
Bernhari Lyrics

In Bernhari's song Ouverture, the singer describes looking back on the past by reflecting on the stars in the window of a lake. The lake is inhabited by their wreckage, symbolizing the emotional turmoil and destruction that has occurred in their life. The singer is then revealed by the moon but ignored by the rain and wind, while being surrounded by an army of wolf-cervixes. The line "Où es-tu Kryuchkova?" is repeated throughout the song, and it is unclear who Kryuchkova is, but it seems as though the singer is searching for someone who may help them deal with the pain and suffering they have experienced.

The following stanza continues to describe the death of an entire people, who died a quiet death while experiencing fear and confusion. The repetition of "Où es-tu Kryuchkova?" suggests that the singer may feel lost and alone, searching for someone or something to help alleviate their pain. The song ends almost identically to how it began, with the singer reflecting on the past through the reflection of stars in a lake. The repetition of this imagery reinforces the cyclical nature of memory and the continuous struggle to move on from the past.
