gitarakuru, mantra & Shesad：Meaning of festival Songmeaning

The song "Последний фестиваль" ("Last Festival" in English) is a collaboration between three Russian artists, gitarakuru, mantra, and Shesad. The lyrics portray a sense of nostalgia, loss, and the fleeting nature of life. In the verses sung by gitarakuru, the lyrics depict a scene of illuminated streets, colorful splashes, laughter, and joyous people during a festival. The singer wishes to eternally preserve this moment deep within their heart, so as to not become a mere shadow without substance. In the midst of this, the singer stands alone under an umbrella and gazes at the sky, while hoping the wind will take away all their thoughts and problems. Finally, they take another step and float away on the sea's sound of spring raindrops. In Shesad's verse, he expresses a desire to purchase matching bracelets to burn under the sakura trees before the arrival of summer. He states that this spring will be the last for both of them, as they will not be able to finish all the songs they had planned. He sees the fireworks as fake, and as he looks at his reflection, he contemplates drowning due to his cowardice. The festival will remember his downfall, and he believes he will not return to this celebration without the presence of the person he addresses. He no longer wants to be guilty without reason and desires a world without light at night, painting the sea red. He feels awaited for execution by the light from the abyss. The repeated chorus sung by gitarakuru and mantra emphasizes the theme of this being the last festival, the last spring, and a goodbye to an awful world. The part sung by mantra serves as a mantra-like interlude, expressing a feeling of everything being meaningless. The lyrics mention seeing through lies and knowing the truth, even at the hour of their death. They feel alone and unnoticed, with everyone far away. Taking a step forward will make everything easier, and they don't believe anyone will remember them. But someone has to. They struggle and realize no one will come to their aid, but someone has to. They question why they should endure the pain and express a wish to become loved once again. They contemplate the idea of thinking more, thinking stronger, but they don't want to waste their time on the remaining hours of the day. The overall meaning of the song revolves around a sense of finality, loneliness, and the transient nature of existence. It explores themes of longing, loss, and the desire for someone to remember and understand.
