Под Холодной Луной
Above The Stars
Eternal Dance Under the Cold Moon: A Journey of Love and Madness
The song 'Под Холодной Луной' by Above The Stars is a haunting and evocative exploration of love, obsession, and transformation. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a night under a pale, cold moon, where the protagonist follows their beloved through a surreal and almost nightmarish landscape. The repeated phrase 'Я иду за тобой' (I follow you) sets the tone of relentless pursuit and devotion, suggesting a deep, almost consuming desire to be with the other person.
The imagery of 'миллионом холодных огней' (a million cold lights) and 'пляске безумных, голодных теней' (dance of mad, hungry shadows) creates a sense of otherworldliness and danger. The lines 'Плоти узоры сплетаются вновь / Что это – пытка, или любовь?' (Patterns of flesh intertwine again / Is this torture, or love?) highlight the thin line between passion and pain, suggesting that the relationship is both intoxicating and destructive. The use of metaphors like 'Лезвие нежно оставит следы' (The blade will gently leave marks) and 'Слизывай капли, сжигая мосты' (Lick the drops, burning bridges) further emphasizes the intensity and the irreversible nature of their bond.
The chorus, 'Под холодной луной / С тобою одной / Сольемся в единое целое' (Under the cold moon / With you alone / We will merge into one whole), speaks to the ultimate desire for unity and the dissolution of boundaries between the two lovers. This merging is portrayed as both a beautiful and terrifying transformation, where individuality is lost, and they become one entity. The song's dark, gothic atmosphere is enhanced by the themes of eternal servitude and chaos, as seen in lines like 'Вечной, покорной и верной слугой' (Eternal, obedient, and faithful servant) and 'Хаоса тенью, моей рабой' (Shadow of chaos, my slave).
'Под Холодной Луной' is a powerful and poetic depiction of a love that transcends the ordinary, delving into the realms of madness and the supernatural. It captures the essence of a relationship that is both all-consuming and transformative, where the lovers are willing to sacrifice everything to be together, even their own identities.
