Tebe Eto Snitsya

Splin's song 'Tebe Eto Snitsya' (translated as 'You Are Dreaming This') delves into the blurred lines between dreams and reality. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a protagonist who is constantly questioning the nature of his experiences. The song begins with mundane activities like waking up, making a move in a chess game, and writing a line, only to realize that his energy has run out, symbolized by the 'enerdzhajzer' (energizer). This could be a metaphor for the exhaustion and monotony of daily life. The protagonist encounters a man laughing, which he perceives as mockery, leading him to the sudden realization that he is dreaming.

As the song progresses, the protagonist's day unfolds with a series of ordinary yet chaotic events: arguing with his wife, stepping on the cat, and clashing with the traffic police. These events are interspersed with the recurring realization that he is dreaming. This repetition emphasizes the cyclical nature of life and the feeling of being trapped in a never-ending loop. The lyrics then take a surreal turn, listing a series of bizarre and fantastical images, from a fisherman at coral reefs to a killer with a shovel, and from a New Year's tree to an orbital station. These images represent the randomness and unpredictability of dreams, contrasting sharply with the earlier mundane scenes.

The song concludes with a philosophical reflection on the existence of God and the ultimate pursuit of happiness. The protagonist envisions a world where all problems are resolved, and everyone is smiling, only to realize once again that it is all a dream. This cyclical realization underscores the theme of existential questioning and the search for meaning in a seemingly absurd world. Splin's 'Tebe Eto Snitsya' masterfully captures the essence of human experience, blending the ordinary with the extraordinary, and leaving listeners pondering the nature of their own reality.
