Убей Мою Подругу (Ubey Moyu Podrugu)

Via Gra's song 'Убей Мою Подругу' (Kill My Girlfriend) delves into the complex emotions of love, jealousy, and desperation. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who feels trapped in a love triangle, where the presence of a third party, referred to as 'my girlfriend,' creates an insurmountable barrier. The repeated plea to 'kill my girlfriend' is not to be taken literally but rather as a metaphor for the intense desire to remove the obstacle that stands in the way of true love and happiness.

The song begins by setting a melancholic tone, describing a night where lonely people will cease to be lonely and sing about love in all languages. This universal longing for connection and love is a central theme. The protagonist expresses a deep, almost fateful connection with their lover, willing to follow them to the clouds. However, the presence of the 'girlfriend' is like a river between two shores, an obstacle that keeps them apart and forces them to go in circles.

The chorus, with its repeated line 'Ubej moyu podrugu,' underscores the desperation and frustration felt by the protagonist. They are willing to do anything to be with their lover, even offering to help if the lover cannot 'kill' the girlfriend themselves. This metaphorical 'killing' represents the need to eliminate the emotional or relational barrier that prevents their union. The song captures the raw, often irrational emotions that can accompany intense love and jealousy, making it a powerful and relatable piece for anyone who has experienced similar feelings.
