The lyrics describe the emotions and experiences of the artists, expressing their struggles with their inner thoughts and the influence of fate on their lives. The mantra, which serves as the central theme of the song, alludes to the blood flowing and painting canvases on behalf of the artists. The canvases symbolize the dreams and aspirations that are being realized in their lives. However, the weight of these dreams becomes overwhelming, leading to fear and a sense of falling. The artists question the meaning behind their struggles and the lack of strength and sleep that they face. They express a desire for authenticity and a yearning to escape the suffering they endure. However, the pain and fear of the reality they are in ultimately hold them back. Gitarakuru's verse delves further into the struggles faced by the artist.

Despite being emotionally fragile, he remains on the edge of an abyss. The "evil fate" mentioned suggests that it dictates how he should live, but the artist asserts that he knows how to deceive it. The lyric "И ножик пронзает запястье" translates to "And the knife pierces the wrist," implying a self-harming act. This symbolizes both physical and emotional pain, and could suggest the artist's desperation to escape from his suffering. Overall, "Холсты" is a raw and introspective song that portrays the emotional turmoil and struggles faced by the artists mantra and gitarakuru.
