Фенозипам
Distemper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
В каком-то старом фильме,
Как льётся солнце на золотые пляжи,
Hо врядли вспонмю, теперь я врядли вспомню.
Дождливый полдень мне не подскажет...
Где-то за семью морями есть золотые страны,
Круглый год лето, улыбки и бананы.
Если опять не кончился феназепам.
Я на берегу, на далёком берегу,
Я по-прежнему бегу из этой клетки.
Я не берегу, никогда не берегу,
Я теряю на бегу свои таблетки.
Потом скажут, посильней бы разбег,
И по стенке размажут,
Потом скажут, был такой человек,
И запустят в продажу.
Hо дежурная аптека, ночная дискотека,
Плохие фильмы, дурные сны.
Жить по глупой схеме этой,
С утра боясь рассвета,
В холодном мире все мы обречены...
А где-то за семью морями есть золотые страны,
Круглый год лето, улыбки и бананы.
Сегодня ночью я побываю там,
Если опять не кончился феназепам.
The song "Фенозипам" by Distemper is a melancholic and introspective piece about the struggles of addiction, the desire to escape and the illusion of finding happiness in external factors. The lyrics begin with the singer recounting a vague memory from an old movie where the sun shines on golden beaches, but he doubts he'll ever remember it again. He feels trapped in a rainy day, unable to escape his current reality.
The chorus offers a glimmer of hope in the form of "golden countries" beyond the seven seas where summer never ends, and smiles and bananas abound. The singer longs to visit this place tonight but fears the supply of phenazepam, a benzodiazepine commonly used to treat anxiety and insomnia, might have run out. The addiction is consuming him, hampering his ability to hold on to his medication, and he recalls losing his tablets while running from his cage, a metaphor for his addiction.
The bridge of the song talks about how people will judge and criticize addicts, push them to their limits until they break, and then discard them. The final verse ends on a stark note, highlighting the futility of living life on a pointless routine of bad movies and nightmares, fearing the dawn of a new day. Overall the song portrays the singer's bleak outlook on life, worsened by addiction, and his desperate longing for escape, even if it's just an illusion.
Line by Line Meaning
Видел я в каком-то фильме,
Once upon a time, while watching a certain movie,
В каком-то старом фильме,
In some old movie,
Как льётся солнце на золотые пляжи,
I saw how the sun shines upon the golden beaches,
Hо врядли вспонмю, теперь я врядли вспомню.
But it's unlikely that I will remember much now.
Дождливый полдень мне не подскажет...
This rainy midday won't tell me anything...
Где-то за семью морями есть золотые страны,
There are golden lands beyond the seven seas,
Круглый год лето, улыбки и бананы.
Where summer lasts all year long, with smiles and bananas.
Сегодня ночью я побываю там,
Tonight I'll visit that place,
Если опять не кончился феназепам.
If only I haven't run out of phenazepam again.
Я на берегу, на далёком берегу,
I'm on the shore, on the distant shore,
Я по-прежнему бегу из этой клетки.
I'm still running away from this cage.
Я не берегу, никогда не берегу,
I don't save, I never save,
Я теряю на бегу свои таблетки.
I lose my pills while running.
Потом скажут, посильней бы разбег,
Later they'll say we should have run faster,
И по стенке размажут,
And smashed us against the wall,
Потом скажут, был такой человек,
Then they'll say there was such a person,
И запустят в продажу.
And put us up for sale.
Hо дежурная аптека, ночная дискотека,
But the 24-hour pharmacy, the nighttime disco,
Плохие фильмы, дурные сны.
Bad movies, bad dreams.
Жить по глупой схеме этой,
To live by this stupid scheme,
С утра боясь рассвета,
Afraid of the dawn every morning,
В холодном мире все мы обречены...
We're all doomed in this cold world...
А где-то за семью морями есть золотые страны,
But there are golden lands beyond the seven seas,
Круглый год лето, улыбки и бананы.
Where summer lasts all year long, with smiles and bananas.
Сегодня ночью я побываю там,
Tonight I'll visit that place,
Если опять не кончился феназепам.
If only I haven't run out of phenazepam again.
