ПРИДЕТСЯ МОЛЧАТЬ

Erika Lundmoen's song 'ПРИДЕТСЯ МОЛЧАТЬ' (translated as 'HAVE TO BE SILENT') delves into the complexities of internal turmoil and the overwhelming sensation of panic that forces one into silence. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of thoughts that have drifted far away, leaving the protagonist in a state of confusion and disarray. The recurring line 'a v golove panika zastavlyayet zamolchat'' (in my head, panic forces me to be silent) underscores the paralyzing effect of anxiety and the struggle to find words amidst chaos.

The song's chorus emphasizes the necessity of silence, as the protagonist decides to 'rasstavim vsyo na mesta i bol'she net slov, pridyotsya molchat'' (put everything in its place and there are no more words, have to be silent). This decision to remain silent is not out of choice but rather a compulsion driven by the overwhelming panic and the futility of words in conveying the depth of their emotions. The imagery of burning unnecessary things to ashes symbolizes the attempt to rid oneself of burdens, yet the lingering question of 'kak ne poteryat' vsyo? eto bol'ney' (how not to lose everything? it hurts more) highlights the persistent fear of loss and the pain it brings.

Erika Lundmoen's poignant lyrics also touch on themes of companionship and the inevitability of time. The lines 'ya s toboy vsegda, ty ne plach'' (I am always with you, don't cry) offer a glimmer of solace, suggesting that despite the internal chaos, there is a presence that provides comfort. However, the acknowledgment that 'vremya vspyat' povernut' nevozmozhno' (it's impossible to turn back time) serves as a reminder of the irreversible nature of time and the importance of cherishing the present. The song's melancholic tone and introspective lyrics resonate deeply, capturing the essence of human vulnerability and the silent battles we often face within our minds.
