Утро Полины

Nautilus Pompilius's song "Утро Полины" ("Polina's Morning") is a poetic exploration of timelessness, longing, and the ethereal nature of existence. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of Polina, whose presence and essence seem to transcend the boundaries of time. Her hands are compared to a forgotten song under a persistent needle, suggesting a sense of nostalgia and the passage of time. The imagery of lazy sounds swirling like dust particles above her head evokes a dreamlike state, further emphasizing the surreal and eternal quality of Polina's morning.

The song delves into the theme of waiting and the passage of time. The narrator speaks of Polina's sleepy eyes waiting for someone to ignite a light within them, symbolizing a longing for connection or a spark of life. The repetition of the phrase "Утро Полины продолжается сто миллиардов лет" ("Polina's morning continues for a hundred billion years") underscores the idea of an endless, almost mythical duration. This eternal morning is contrasted with the narrator's own journey, which, despite its infinite length, is illuminated by the constant light in Polina's crystal bedroom.

The lyrics also touch on the inevitability of waiting and the futility of certain expectations. The narrator acknowledges those who will wait and those who will die without seeing their hopes fulfilled, yet finds both paths equally monotonous. The love for Polina is rooted in the understanding that her waiting is for something that can never happen, adding a layer of tragic beauty to the song. The imagery of Polina's fingers as candles in the candelabra of nights and her tears turning into an endless stream further enhances the sense of melancholy and timelessness. The dawn hesitating on the threshold of Polina's room symbolizes the perpetual state of anticipation and the unending nature of her morning.
