Distemper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ты ненавидишь работать,
Тебе по жизни не сняться
Быдловых будней заботы.
Но где взять пропуск бумажный
К веселой праздничной жизни,
Его никто не положит
В левый карман.
Свернуть с пути невозможно,
Все меньше шансов на выбор,
А на душе так тревожно.
Не зря становится страшно,
Когда ты вдруг понимаешь,
Что на пути все преграды
Создал ты сам.
Одна лишь дорога
По жизни осталась.
Все больше пугает
Убогая старость.
Уже не понять
Где свои, где чужие,
Уже не понять
Где закон, а где жизнь,
Уже не понять
Кто с кого получает,
Кто платит
И кто за кого отвечает,
Кто тянет назад,
А кто в спину толкает,
Дорога в тот мир,
Где всем правит случайность.
The lyrics of Distemper's song Всем правит случайность address a common societal problem of people who prioritize short-term pleasures over their long-term goals and dreams. The first verse in particular, talks about how someone has become so used to entertaining themselves while hating work and responsibilities. This person is unable to escape their mundane and boorish daily routines, which they despise. They long for a carefree life, but can't find a shortcut to achieve this. They continue to wait for an opportunity to escape, but as time passes, the chances become fewer and fewer.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become more poignant, addressing the consequences of leading an ungratifying life. The second verse talks about how people reach a point in their lives where they feel lost, lonely and unsure of everything. They become disoriented, and no longer understand who they are. They are unable to differentiate their goals from others' and can no longer discern between what is right and wrong. They can't understand who receives what or who is responsible for what. The final lines of the song speak about the inevitability of fate and how it controls everything.
What makes this song so thought-provoking and engaging is how it reflects upon the common human struggles faced by individuals. The lyrics expose the inescapable reality that life isn't easy and that one must work hard to achieve their dreams. The sad reality is that people often give in to the temptations of life, which may be easier but ultimately lead to despair and confusion.

Ты так привык развлекаться,
You're so used to having fun,

You can't dream of life
Быдловых будней заботы.
Of wretched daily worries.
Но где взять пропуск бумажный
But where to get a paper pass
К веселой праздничной жизни,
To a fun holiday life,
Его никто не положит
No one will put it
В левый карман.

Уже не понять
Can no longer understand
Где свои, где чужие,
Where your own are, where strangers are,
Уже не понять
Can no longer understand
Где закон, а где жизнь,
Where the law is, where life is,
Уже не понять
Can no longer understand
Кто с кого получает,
Who gets from whom,
Кто платит
Who pays
И кто за кого отвечает,
And who answers for whom,
Кто тянет назад,
Who pulls back,
А кто в спину толкает,
And who pushes in the back,
Дорога в тот мир,
The road to that world,
Где всем правит случайность.
Where chance rules everything.
