Distemper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Свой первый шаг против строя,
И тех друзей, что шагнули
Когда-то вместе со мною.
Я никогда не узнаю
Кто был последним из первых
Как жаль, что меньше и меньше
Пусть стёрлись в памяти лица,
Сменили облик дороги,
Мне будут сниться и сниться
Тех первых дней все тревоги.
Я никогда не узнаю
Кто был последним из первых
Как жаль, что меньше и меньше
Друзей так искренне верных.
The lyrics of Distemper's song Старым друзьям (To Old Friends) express the singer's sentimentality and fond memories of the friends who were once by their side. The first verse talks about the singer's first step against the system and the friends who were with them at the time. The second verse mourns the loss of those sincere and loyal friends, wondering who among them was the last one to leave. The chorus reiterates this sentiment, expressing sadness that there are fewer and fewer true friends.
The song's melancholic tone and wistful lyrics evoke the universal human experience of losing touch with old friends and feeling a sense of nostalgia for the past. In a larger sense, the lyrics may be seen as a lament for the passing of youth and the loss of innocence. The use of repetition of the chorus adds emphasis to the central message of the song, underscoring the notion that true friends are rare and precious.
