Твой след
Distemper Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Если придешь чистым
Вряд ли пройдёшь быстро
Никогда не поздно
Сказать слово Нет
Никогда не поздно
Сказать слово Нет
Даже самому себе

Какая глупая судьба
Тебя заставила разуться?
Не всем ясна твоя ходьба
Замёрзнуть но не поскользнуться
Отдав тепло метровым льдам
Ты не жалеешь о потере
Благодаря твоим следам
Дойдёт другой в тебя поверив
Чтобы громко крикнуть
Надо промолчать
Нелегко привыкнуть
Молча отвечать
Нелегко привыкнуть
Молча отвечать
Даже самому себе

Какая глупая судьба
Тебя заставила разуться?
Не всем ясна твоя ходьба
Замёрзнуть но не поскользнуться
Отдав тепло метровым льдам
Ты не жалеешь о потере

Благодаря твоим следам
Дойдёт другой в тебя поверив.

Overall Meaning

The song "Твой след," or "Your Trace" in English, by the Russian ska punk band Distemper is a reflective ode to personal responsibility and the impact we have on others, even when we don't necessarily realize it. The opening lines discuss the idea that if you come to a situation with a pure heart, it may not necessarily result in an immediate victory or success. But it's never too late to stand up for what you believe in, even if it means saying "no" to yourself.

The song goes on to explore the singer's contemplation of someone else's journey through life - a journey that is not crystal clear or obvious to others. The metaphor of walking on ice is used as a way to describe navigating through life's challenges, but never losing sight of the fact that we can still make a difference for others, even in small ways. The bridge of the song contains the powerful message that sometimes, in order to be heard, we need to be silent. It takes practice, but it's a skill worth mastering.

Overall, "Твой след" is a song that encourages personal responsibility, reflection, and the power we all have to make an impact on others' lives.

Какая глупая судьба
What a foolish fate

Тебя заставила разуться?
Did it make you take off your shoes?

Не всем ясна твоя ходьба
Not everyone understands your walk

Замёрзнуть но не поскользнуться
Freezing but not slipping

Отдав тепло метровым льдам
Giving warmth to meter-thick ice
