Факел
Distemper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
У окна стоять, стоять, стоять,
На стекло дышать, дышать,
как всегда...
Ты въехал в новый дом
Кто знал
Что факел под окном
Горит и днём и ночью
Кто знал.
Ты проклял новоселье
Всю ночь
На потолке веселье
Всю ночь
В чёрных очках в постели
Всю ночь
Он не спит горит, горит, горит,
Как вулкан шумит, дымит, гремит,
Голова болит, болит, болит,
Целый день.
The lyrics to Distemper's song "Факел" (Torch) convey a sense of restlessness and unsleeping in the night. The singer stands by the window, breathing onto the glass, a habitual action that suggests pent-up emotion. The lyrics then turn to the subject of a new home, where unexpectedly, there is a torch burning outside. This torch is a symbol of some ongoing, persistent problem or issue, as it burns day and night without pause. The singer curses their new home, suggesting that this problem is causing great discomfort and awareness of its presence.
The second half of the song continues the theme of the burning torch, and the problem it symbolizes. The singer cannot sleep because of its relentless presence, describing it as a volcano that rumbles and smokes without end. The torch's light is also implied to cause headaches or other negative physical effects. The song's overall tone is one of frustration and feeling trapped by an ongoing, seemingly unsolvable issue that prevents rest and comfort.
Overall, "Факел" conveys a sense of tension and agitation caused by an ongoing problem or situation. The torch becomes a symbol of this problem, and the singer's inability to sleep or find peace suggests a feeling of being trapped or stuck.
