The lyrics express a deep, almost obsessive search for an essential presence, whether it be a person, an ideal, or even a meaning to existence. Through a series of contrasting images – “бескрайней ленте соцсетей” (endless stream from social networks) and “в безликих будней суете” (the hustle and bustle of impersonal days) – the lyrics suggest that this search does not take place only in the external world, but also in the depths of one’s own experiences.

Кого искала я
во всяком встреченном прохожем,
в бескрайней ленте соцсетей
неутомимо, безотложно,
в безликих будней суете,
средь громких празднеств, тихих дум,
меж всходами светил и лун,
и в безмятежные томленья,
и в самой горести мгновенья,
в мороз сквозь завертей туманы,
и в зноя дымчатом дурмане?
Кого искала я?…

Whom was I seeking
in every passerby I met,
in the endless scroll of social feeds,
tirelessly, urgently,
amid the faceless weekday rush,
among loud feasts, in quiet thoughts,
between the risings of the suns and moons,
in serene languor,
in the moment of deepest sorrow,
in frosts through swirling fogs,
in the smoky haze of summer’s daze?
Whom was I seeking?…
