[Verse 1] Тишина вокруг... Silence all around. Even the walls sound like silence. What did you want to hear? You’ll hear it. Without fail. I glide like a water strider through all these hysterics, through the street-born ideas of two-faced revolutionaries. They say a war is coming among those who, for the sake of money, despise everyone who gathered here for the cause. Иди и делай. Go and do it. I pressed Play, because there are no ideas and there is no money. Это просто бред. But there is hope. And there is faith that I’ll be fed and always kept warm. [Chorus] Give me a medal for choosing the right side. Though I honestly couldn’t give a damn about it. Давай уже, до скорого. Because when there’s silence all around— тишина вокруг— it presses straight against my brain. And I got scared when I realized the agreement with my conscience had been broken. Choosing yet again the other side of the lowest class. They called me something strange— обратный оборотень. A reverse werewolf. That’s why they won’t let me live in peace. Breaking the silence all around. Listening to my heartbeat. Пряник или кнут. The carrot or the stick. [Verse 2] I’ll ask a question. I want an answer within a minute. What the hell is this chaos going on among these bastards? Without the slightest hesitation, for a couple cans of Балтика девятка, they’ll slit your belly open. Without even trying to explain what they’ve done. Это не норма. This isn’t normal. And I don’t know why they keep walking over corpses. I wanted everything to be sweet and easy. Всё было в шоколаде. So why keep dragging the cat by the tail? But I’m closed off. I’d like to open myself up without crossing the line. What do the legends say? They’re hidden away in the chambers of the mind. [Chorus] Give me a medal for choosing the right side. Though I honestly couldn’t give a damn about it. Давай уже, до скорого. Because when there’s silence all around— тишина вокруг— it presses straight against my brain. And I got scared when I realized the agreement with my conscience had been broken. Choosing yet again the other side of the lowest class. They called me something strange— обратный оборотень. A reverse werewolf. That’s why they won’t let me live in peace. Breaking the silence all around. Listening to my heartbeat. Пряник или кнут. The carrot or the stick. [Outro] Тишина вокруг... Silence all around.
