I Wonder
Protassov Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come rise with our flame
No requests, no blues
Why are we maimed
Easy my darling
What shall we do
Rockin' and skankin'
No requests, no dues
A church washed up and we played on greens
A wall puts up in the garden above
Soldiers and black gowns walking their rounds
Tombstones where flowers should be
How can you recall
See a church was built and we played on green
A wall puts up in the garden above
Soldiers and black gowns walking their rounds
Tombstones where flowers should be
How can you recall
The lyrics of Protassov's song "I Wonder" are a combination of whimsical observations and thought-provoking reflections. The singer seems to wake up in the morning with a sense of optimism and energy, urging the listener to join him in rising with the flames. He laments about the state of being maimed and wonders why we cannot simply enjoy life without any requests or blues. Addressing his partner as "my darling", he suggests they simply rock and skank without any obligations or dues.
The second half of the song takes on a more serious tone, with the singer reflecting on the transience and fragility of life. He describes a church washing up while they played on greens, a wall being put up in the garden above, soldiers and black gowns walking their rounds, and tombstones replacing flowers. The repetition of the question "how can you recall" suggests a deep sense of nostalgia and longing for things lost, and the transience of life itself.
Overall, the song captures the bittersweetness of life, with its moments of joy and sorrow, transience and permanence, and the need to savor the present moment.

Wake up in the morning
Starting a new day
Come rise with our flame
Get up and start strong
No requests, no blues
No need for anything specific, no worries
Why are we maimed
Why are we hurt or limited
Easy my darling
Don't worry, everything is going to be alright
What shall we do
What actions should we take
Rockin' and skankin'
Dancing and enjoying life
No requests, no dues
No obligations, no worries
A church washed up and we played on greens
We were carefree and played in the fields despite the destruction of a nearby church
A wall puts up in the garden above
A physical barrier has been erected above us
Soldiers and black gowns walking their rounds
People in authority are patrolling
Tombstones where flowers should be
Death and sadness where there should be beauty
How can you recall
How can you remember something so terrible
See a church was built and we played on green
The beauty of the past is gone, but we can still enjoy the present
A wall puts up in the garden above
A barrier still remains, but we can find ways to overcome it
Soldiers and black gowns walking their rounds
Oppressive authority figures still exist
Tombstones where flowers should be
There is still sadness, but we can find ways to bring beauty and hope
How can you recall
It's difficult to remember the past, but we can find strength in the present
