"I'm afraid to look into your eyes for long—there's a black, black death lurking there": Street musicians from St. Petersburg performed Monetochka's new song
A song about a soldier, which she herself Lisa coin sang during a recent performance in Limassol, performed by the band Stoptime at Sennaya Square. This track has not yet been officially released.
However, the chairman of the public movement "Call of the People" has already responded to the song. Sergey ZaitsevHe stated that Monetochka, who has already been recognized as a "foreign agent," could also be recognized as an "extremist."
«Knowing her work, it's most likely a discrediting of the army. She falls under the extremism law, which carries penalties including criminal prosecution." — Zaitsev said.
He probably didn't listen to the song. In the new lyrics, Monetochka, in the form of a monologue, reflects on the deep and incurable psychological trauma that war inflicts on a person. Through images of scars, the smell of blood, and the "black death," she reveals the alienation and inner pain of a soldier that even a sympathetic ear cannot understand.
The key phrase "I'll be on the other side," seized upon by Z-activists and pro-government Telegram channels, symbolizes not enmity, but a fundamental worldview difference: the poet, as a bearer of creativity and empathy, cannot share the soldier's reality, shaped by violence.
However, we are publishing the song's lyrics in full so you can form your own opinion:
“You are a soldier, I can see in your eyes that you have been there.
You smell of blood, you are one big scar.
You whistle like the wind across the steppe, and you probably won’t find people more icy
You are a soldier, and I would like to patch up your seams,
To fix and sew up a sick heart,
But the metal has eaten into you, you've probably seen too much.
You are a soldier, and no matter what war you fight,
Sorry, I'll be on the other side,
Sorry, I'll be on the other side.
The beast cries, hides its heart in armor. You are now
The saddest of all on earth, the saddest of all on earth.
You are a soldier, and you are so drunk that you are going to vomit.
Sidelong glances are no longer scary.
They laughed while you
He swallowed cold sweat and sniffed grey smoke.
You are a soldier, I'm afraid to look into your eyes for a long time.
There walks the blackest black death.
You hide them back too,
And we remain silent, because you are a soldier, and I am a poet."
Previously "NotMoscow" reported that the band Stoptime is known for its street performances of songs by Monetochka, Zemfira, and Noiz MC, who have been labeled "foreign agents." This practice is not yet prohibited in Russia. However, in late August, police detained the musicians. The official reason given was "violation of the noise law."
