Корабли

Lizer's song 'Корабли' (translated as 'Ships') is a poignant exploration of emotional turmoil and the feeling of drowning in despair. The recurring metaphor of a sinking ship vividly illustrates the artist's sense of hopelessness and the urgent need for rescue. The repeated plea for help, 'Помоги мне, я утону' ('Help me, I will drown'), underscores the desperation and vulnerability that permeate the song. This imagery of a ship going down serves as a powerful symbol for a relationship or a personal struggle that is beyond saving, despite the artist's yearning for salvation.

The lyrics delve into the artist's sleepless nights and the internal storm he faces, even when he tries to smile. The line 'Дажe eсли улыбнусь, внутри дождь' ('Even if I smile, inside it's raining') captures the facade of happiness that masks deep-seated sorrow. The darkness and the sense of abandonment are palpable as the artist describes being left alone in the dark, unable to change the course of fate. The mention of 'Авторы судьбы нe укажут нас в титрах' ('The authors of fate will not list us in the credits') suggests a feeling of insignificance and the inevitability of their plight.

The song also touches on themes of isolation and longing for a lost connection. Despite being surrounded by others, the artist feels profoundly alone, yearning to return to a place or a person that represents comfort and safety. The 'тёмный город' ('dark city') symbolizes the internal and external darkness that envelops him, making the desire to escape to a better place even more intense. The haunting repetition of the chorus reinforces the cyclical nature of his despair, making 'Корабли' a deeply emotional and relatable piece for anyone who has felt overwhelmed by life's challenges.
