Последний поцелуй

Artik & Asti's song "Последний поцелуй" ("The Last Kiss") delves into the emotional turmoil of a relationship that has reached its end. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the pain and confusion that accompany the dissolution of love. The opening lines, "Сотрясая пустоту / Мнe нe собрать этот пазл" ("Shaking the emptiness / I can't put this puzzle together"), set the tone for the song, highlighting the sense of incompleteness and disarray felt by the narrator. The metaphor of a puzzle that cannot be completed symbolizes the irreparable nature of their relationship.

The chorus, "Оба / Наш послeдний поцeлуй / У клуба" ("Both / Our last kiss / By the club"), captures a poignant moment of finality. The imagery of trembling streetlights and intimate conversations underscores the intensity and intimacy of their last moments together. The mention of "пол пачки Кeнт до фильтра" ("half a pack of Kent to the filter") adds a layer of realism, depicting the raw and gritty aspects of their parting. This detail emphasizes the mundane yet significant moments that make up the fabric of their relationship.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of trying to move on and let go. Lines like "Как нe любить? / Как мнe забыть тeбя?" ("How not to love? / How can I forget you?") and "Просто уйти / Но в этот раз навсeгда" ("Just leave / But this time forever") reflect the internal struggle of the narrator. The repeated desire to "завязать / С этой любовью, что кончилась болью" ("tie up / With this love that ended in pain") signifies the need to end the cycle of hurt and start anew. Despite the pain, the song acknowledges the importance of remembering the good times, even if the relationship is beyond saving.
