Дом
Distemper Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Не надо стучать в заколоченный дом
Тебе всё равно там никто не откроет
Там пусто внутри и не пахнет огнём
Теперь этот дом ни копейки не стоит
Когда-то он многих теплом согревал
Пускал на ночлег под огромную крышу
Но годы прошли и навеки пропал
Магический дух и подвальные мыши

Скрипят половицы и крыша течёт
Давно уже руки опущены вниз
Не каждый сквозь холод без страха пройдёт
Не раз ещё жизнь нам подкинет сюрприз
Как много людей идут в тот старый дом
Любимый когда-то забытый теперь

Встречали кого-то раскрытым окном
И в миг перед всеми захлопнули дверь.

Overall Meaning

The song "Дом" by Distemper depicts an abandoned and boarded-up house where no one lives anymore. The first verse talks about how there is no need to knock on the door because no one will answer. The house is empty and devoid of any warmth or light. It has lost all its value and is now worth nothing.

The second verse describes the state of the house. The floors creak and the roof leaks, and it seems as though no one has taken care of it for a long time. The singer says that not everyone can brave the cold and enter the house without fear. Life often throws surprises at us, and we must be ready for it.

The chorus talks about how many people used to come to this house in the past. It was once loved and cherished but now forgotten. There were times when they welcomed someone through an open window, and then suddenly closed all the doors in front of everyone. The song implies that this house is a metaphor for something that was once valuable but was abandoned and forgotten over time.

Line by Line Meaning

Не надо стучать в заколоченный дом
There is no need to knock on the boarded up house

Тебе всё равно там никто не откроет
No one will open it for you anyway

Там пусто внутри и не пахнет огнём
Inside it's empty and doesn't smell of fire

Теперь этот дом ни копейки не стоит
Now the house is worth nothing

Когда-то он многих теплом согревал
Once it warmed many with its heat

Пускал на ночлег под огромную крышу
Provided shelter under its huge roof

Но годы прошли и навеки пропал
But the years passed and it disappeared forever

Магический дух и подвальные мыши
Only the magical spirit and the basement mice remain

Скрипят половицы и крыша течёт
The floorboards creak and the roof leaks

Давно уже руки опущены вниз
The hands have long since gone down

Не каждый сквозь холод без страха пройдёт
Not everyone will walk through the cold without fear
