Atoms
Platon Karataev Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're standing on a plain, snow-covered, shivering with cold
You said "I'm yours"
We hold onto each other like fallen leaves on frozen ground
With healing wounds

Our faces stroked by the fall
We're freezing, we're just small
Atoms who blindly crawl
Toward each other after all

You're standing on a plain, snow-covered, shivering with cold
You said "I'm yours"
Fear from loneliness and madness are the strongest binds
But now we're found
It feels like swimming underwater or like praying to the sky
One can't do with open eyes





Look at these frozen bones on the sky
We call them stars but that's a lie

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Platon Karataev's song "Atoms" paint a vivid picture of a cold, snowy landscape with two people holding onto each other for warmth and support. The vulnerability and fragility of the human condition are explored through the imagery of fallen leaves and blindly crawling atoms. The lines "Fear from loneliness and madness are the strongest binds / But now we're found" suggest that through their connection, the two individuals have found some sort of solace or relief from their fears and anxieties.


The lyrics also touch on the idea of perception and reality with the line "Look at these frozen bones on the sky / We call them stars but that's a lie." This could be interpreted as a commentary on how we assign meaning and significance to things based on our own subjective experiences and understanding.


The overall tone of the song is one of introspection and contemplation, with the music matching the somber yet ethereal mood.

2 koncerteken voltam (Montázs, Ördögkatlan), ahol megmondtam nektek, hogy:
"Ti még nem tudjátok, és a világ sem sejti még, hogy Ti világsztárok lesztek!".
Hát ehhez tartsátok magatokat! Üdv: Gyuri :)

Regota hallgatok indie zenet, kulonfele alternativ rock-okat, es mara mar eleg finnyas is lettem, ami azt jelenti, hogy nagyon el kell talalni nalam a hangzast, hogy megfogjon, de ez annyira jo lett, hogy tobbszor is meghallgattam egymas utan. Vegre magyarok, akik jol is csinaljak ezt a fajta zenet.
Csak igy tovabb, remelem meg sokat hallok rolatok.

I love this song, greetings from Russia. You've got a new subscriber.
I also found it interesting that you guys named your band after a Russian villager character from Tolstoy's book "War & Peace". I am curious why you chose exactly that particular character.
