Под горой
The Dartz Lyrics

The lyrics of the song “Под горой” by The Dartz talk about a girl who lives under the Poklonnaya Hill in Moscow. The repetition of the first two lines throughout the song emphasizes the loneliness of the girl and her isolation from the outside world. The arrival of someone dear to her feels like a rare occasion as it’s reflected in the repetition of “Добро пожаловать домой” (Welcome home) when they visit her.

On the other hand, the singer of the song is a metro worker who spends most of his time underground without any fear as his environment is different from the girl under the hill. The contrast between the two characters shows how the society above the ground is oblivious to the underground world and the people who reside there.

The last part of the song talks about a lively party happening underground where the dead and the living are dancing together. It’s an ironic depiction of the reality where the underground workers often work in difficult and dangerous conditions, without any recognition or appreciation. The song ends with the arrival of dawn and the return to silence, reinforcing the feeling of loneliness and detachment from the outside world.

Overall, the song “Под горой” is a thoughtful commentary on the underground world and people’s perception of it, as well as the isolation and loneliness that some people experience.
