Нам снится перестройка
Sheridan Lyrics

In "Нам снится перестройка" by Sheridan, the lyrics explore the dream-like state that the singer and others find themselves in during a time of upheaval and change. The song begins with the question of what a cruiser dreams of when visitors are happy and a pink water whispers a scary truth to the fleet. The mention of the cruiser and the pink water can be seen as metaphors for the powers and systems that control society and manipulate information. The lyrics suggest that even though the truth may be unsettling, the majority remains indifferent and continues to live on the brink of destruction.

The second verse introduces the idea of a loaded photo, one that is not filled with bullets or arrows, but with various fluids and deadly rays. This can be interpreted as a commentary on the power of propaganda and the media to manipulate public opinion and control narratives. The line about being healed but remaining silent implies that despite being aware of the manipulation and deception, people choose not to speak out. The mention of a white ship from St. Petersburg further adds to the imagery of power and control.

The chorus suggests that while the military and revolutions may be dreamt of by some, for others, like the singer, all they can dream of is perpetual restructuring that never ends and brings no hope for change. The song concludes by emphasizing the futility in expecting anything from this ongoing restructuring, as there seems to be no tangible outcome or improvement.
