I Wonder
Protassov Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake up in the morning
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

Overall Meaning

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.
