The song "Мир Мух" by Husky (Хаски) talks about a deserted city where everyone has taken their own lives. The city is empty, devoid of human life, with only buzzing alarms to be heard. The lyrics depict a bleak and dehumanized world where the protagonist feels useless and insignificant, comparing themselves to urine flowing through the streets. Throughout the song, there are references to flies (мухи), symbolizing decay and death. The lyrics describe how the flies are engaging in sexual acts with the remnants of bodies, depicting a disturbing scene of necrophilia. The chorus repeats the phrase "город опустел" (the city has emptied) to emphasize the desolation and despair. The verses also delve into the protagonist's interaction with the environment in this deserted city. They mention visiting a shopping mall where popular stores like IKEA and Auchan are in mourning. The city has become a place where the protagonist fights with flies for meager food like crackers and ham. The presence of security cameras is noted, hiding the atrocities that occur as the flies engage in sexual acts. The only remaining sign of life is cardboard mannequins being shamelessly prostituted. The song also reflects on the nature of beauty and its value in such a desolate world. The protagonist questions the design of the sky and wonders who the designer is, suggesting a lack of belief in a higher power. They describe themselves as a consumer of rainbows, adorning themselves with teeth and admiring tattoos on boot shafts. As the song progresses, the verses continue to highlight the emptiness and decay of the city. The protagonist visits a graveyard-like highway, observing crashed cars and twisted metal. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the city's emptiness and the overpowering stench of death. In the final verse, the protagonist becomes unimaginable to themselves and enters a weapons store. They express the desire to arm themselves with lethal ammunition made of lead and gunpowder, intending to visit the synagogue (referred to as "мушиному двору"), signifying a plunge into violence and chaos. The song suggests that with the death of the last person, the human project comes to an end. Overall, "Мир Мух" tells a harrowing story of a forsaken city and the protagonist's struggle to find meaning in a world consumed by death and decay. The lyrics depict a dark and grim portrayal of the human condition, exploring themes of isolation, insignificance, and the loss of hope.
