Elevator
Platon Karataev Lyrics

You can call it anything, but that was love
The singer believes that what they had was true love, regardless of what others may call it.

When we were happy just because we shared the blanket.
The small things, such as sharing a blanket, brought immense joy to the singer and their loved one.

You can call it what you want
Again, the singer insists that their relationship was real love and that others may refer to it by different names.

That was pure Love.
The artist emphasizes the purity and sincerity of their love.

Elevator rides were always awkward only
The awkwardness in elevator rides was only noticeable from the perspective of other bystanders due to the artist and their loved one's contentment with simply being near one another.

For those around us, who felt desperately lonely.
Those around the singer and their loved one perhaps felt envious of them due to their loneliness.

Now I see closing the doors,
The act of closing the elevator doors symbolizes the end of their time together.

I feel awkward and count the floors.
The artist feels uncomfortable in the elevator alone and replays the memories of being with their loved one in their mind.

When we were happy just because we shared our prayers.
Similar to the shared blanket, even prayer time together brought joy to the couple.

When we spent the cold winter in love
Despite the bitter cold of winter, the warmth of their love kept them together.

In your pocket you had your gloves
The loved one was practical and prepared for the winter weather, but their hands were always intertwined with the singer's.

Nothing's left, but the cruel torment of time.
The relationship has ended and all that remains is the painful memory of lost love.

I showed you what is love,
The singer believes they helped their loved one understand what love truly is.

You threw it away, you threw it away.
Despite the singer's efforts, the loved one ended the relationship.

I can't change your stubborn heart,
The singer recognizes their inability to alter their loved one's emotions.

You push me away, you push me away.
The loved one continuously rejected the artist.

You floated too far away,
The loved one drifted too far from the artist's reach.

You won't come home, you won't come home.
The singer has accepted the fact that their loved one is never returning.

I hope that you're still okay,
Despite the heartbreak, the singer still cares about the well-being of their loved one.

But you're alone, you are alone.
The loved one is now all alone without the artist's companionship.
