Мечта
Distemper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Быть расслаблен и богат,
Чей-то крик
Не заставит бросить взгляд.
Деньги льются, как вода,
Пропадая без следа,
Думал ты хватит их навсегда.
Две зажженных папиросы
Что-то тихо говорят,
Но нет ответов на вопросы.
Не осталось ничего
Кроме этой пустоты,
Но что самое смешное,
Больше нет мечты.
Всё о чём
Ещё с детства ты мечтал,
За углом
В магазине покупал.
Ты купил свою мечту,
Не заметив на лету,
Что попал в пустоту, пустоту.
Ну а я живу с мечтою,
До последних моих дней
Она останется со мной.
Потому что никогда
Мечту за деньги не купить,
А пока жива мечта
Мы тоже будем жить.
The song "Мечта" by Distemper talks about the importance of dreams in life and how they should not be forgotten or replaced by material things. The lyrics talk about someone who is used to being relaxed and wealthy, and who is not easily impacted by other people's cries for help or attention. They have enough money, or so they thought. However, the money keeps flowing away just as quickly as it comes, and the person realizes too late that they have missed out on their dreams by chasing after material possessions.
The lyrics then describe a scene where the person is smoking two cigarettes and trying to find answers to their questions, but they are met with silence. There is nothing left for them except emptiness, and ironically, their dream has disappeared along with everything else. The song also talks about how the singer still lives with their dream, and it will remain with them till the end of their days. The song emphasizes that these dreams cannot be bought with all the money in the world, and as long as the dream is alive, there is still hope for a fulfilling life.
Overall, the song conveys a message that dreams are an intrinsic part of the human experience and should be held onto, regardless of the distractions and temptations of the world. Material possessions may bring temporary pleasure and comfort, but they cannot replace the feeling of living a life that is centered around one's passions and aspirations.
