Атомная романтика
Distemper Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

По ядерной долине мы пойдём с тобой гонять
Забыли мы скафандры, нам на это наплевать
Бензин нам моет ноги и газ щекочет нос
По ядерной долине везёт нас бензовоз
Атомная романтика
Ядерная любовь
Попили мы бензина, отведали мы нефть
Понюхали мы газа и понюхали мы вест
И под машиной нашей металлический хлам




И ядерные взрывы освещают пути нам

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Distemper's song "Атомная романтика" depict a scene of two lovers strolling through a nuclear valley, a place that most people would deem dangerous and avoidable. The lyrics reveal that the couple has disregarded the potential harm, as they have ditched their protective suits, and are instead enjoying the thrills that the valley has to offer. The lyrics describe the sensation of the gasoline washing over their feet and the gas tickling their noses. The couple is being driven by a gas truck through the valley, while they indulge in their love affair. They experience the adrenaline rush that comes from this unusual, forbidden and potentially catastrophic intimacy. The chorus reiterates the fact that the relationship is unique and unconventional. It is an "Атомная романтика," a "Ядерная любовь."


It is appropriate to say that the song is a reflection of the socio-political environment in which the band emerges. Distemper's formation and musical production coincide with the post-Soviet era, which saw substantial tectonic shifts in Russia's political, socio-cultural, and economic landscape, especially in the 1990s. The devastated industrial complexes, abandoned factories, and polluted environments that had formed the Soviet Union's industrial might became distorted dystopian landscapes that pushed the youth to seek out alternative forms of pleasure and excitement. The song describes the nihilistic condition that prevailed in Russia in the aftermath of the Soviet Union's disintegration.
