Стыд
Shortparis Lyrics

The lyrics to Shortparis's song Стыд, which translates to "Shame," seem to be about the feeling of emptiness and shame. The first verse mentions being beaten, and the repetition of "дойдёт до ста" which means "it will reach one hundred," could symbolize reaching a breaking point. The chorus includes repeated sounds that are almost nonsensical, which could represent the chaos and confusion that come with feeling shame.

The second verse mentions a young person singing about spring, but their body is "yellowing" in the sheets, like grain. This could be a metaphor for the person feeling like they are aging and losing their youth, while also feeling exposed and vulnerable, like grain left out in the open. Again, the feeling of emptiness is repeated, with the phrase "нет ничего" which means "there is nothing."

The bridge includes a reference to someone being in demand, but the singer asks "what kind of dog are you?" which could mean that they don't value the person or their work. The repetition of "Эо!" is unclear in meaning, but could represent a feeling of frustration or even madness.

Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of someone feeling lost and exposed, possibly due to external pressures or societal expectations. The repetition of certain phrases and sounds adds to the chaotic feeling, while the images of grain and emptiness reinforce the theme of dispossession.
