The lyrics of the song "позабыться" (Forget) by Конец солнечных дней (End of sunny days) convey a sense of longing, introspection, and the struggle to let go of the past. The song explores themes of trying to forget, finding solace in oblivion, and the difficulty of moving on from painful memories. The first verse suggests that the speaker's fragmented memories have been buried in dust, and their attempts to write them down resurface. However, they continue to try to forget about everything and express a desire to dissolve into the surroundings like rain. They emphasize that there will never be a place for someone in that world, referring to a sense of isolation or possibly the inability to move on from a past relationship or experience. The chorus reiterates the longing to forget everything and become rain, while also acknowledging the presence of darkness and emptiness. This could represent a desire to escape reality and find peace within the void. The second verse uses metaphors such as a frozen appearance and a flowing stream to describe the speaker's state. They mention clearing their mind of various painful losses at night, implying a struggle to overcome emotional wounds. The line "едкое сладким покажется" (caustic will seem sweet) suggests that the speaker might be seeking temporary relief from their pain. The bridge mentions shooting oneself out of memory, implying a desire to erase or escape from painful recollections. They repeat this line three times, emphasizing the need to break free from the cycle of remembering. The following section pleads for their memories to be wiped away without disfiguring them, emphasizing the hope of remaining alive. They mention that there is always a place for someone somewhere in memories, and it is easy to awaken them but hard to silence them. The song concludes with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the continuous struggle to forget and become rain. The final line "Говори, что это мгла, говори, что пустота" (Say that it's darkness, say that it's emptiness) highlights the recurring theme of darkness and void, possibly symbolizing a desire to escape reality or find solace in oblivion. Overall, "позабыться" speaks to the universal human experience of grappling with past memories, longing for emotional release, and the difficulty of truly letting go.
