IDST Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The city of thousand crosses
But now it's drowned, it's drowned in a fever
People are covered in mosses
In a winter you can see, how Moscow cries
And there is no sun to dry our tears
Everyone here has icy eyes
Viviparous moon gave us stormy nights
The sun should rise
Yeah
Shut up, Winter
We are waiting for Spring
Shut up, Winter
We are waiting for Spring
Shut up, Winter
We are waiting for Spring
Shut up, Winter
We are waiting for
They are pretty good at patience
But then it comes - senseless and merciless
You can see crowded stations
Red trains made of mess
It's hard to swim in a sea when you've never swum before
That what old man told me
When we came to the seashore
People went to the water and dived
Sea washed their tears and bodies
Goodbye
It was their neverending dream
And they scream
Shut up, Winter
We came for Spring
Shut up, Winter
We came for Spring
Shut up, Winter
We came for
You
It's so nice to see you over here (Shut up, Winter)
So young, so bold, so beautiful (Shut up, Winter)
Shut up, Winter
Shut up, Winter
Shut up, Winter
Shut up, Winter
The main theme of the IDST song "Hometown" is nostalgia for a city that has been flooded and ravaged by time. The city is described as being on the banks of an ancient river with a history that dates back a thousand years. The theme of loss is repeated throughout the song, lamenting the fact that the city and its people have been drowned in a fever. Even in winter, when Moscow is known for its harsh weather, there is still something magical about the city that draws the singer back to it. It is said that everyone in the city has icy eyes, which is a metaphor for their cold and emotionless nature.
Despite their situation, the people of the city show great resilience and patience in waiting for Spring. The song suggests that despite the hardships, they are waiting for a time of renewal and rebirth. The arrival of Spring is connected to the idea of hope and possibility, and the people of the city are confident that their dreams will be realized. The ending of the song is an affirmation of the beauty of youth and a call to dismiss the harsh realities of winter and embrace the beauty of Spring.
