Текст песни Филипп Вейс - Метафора

Fingers of builders
                 lay down on the wall
Light monitors
                like a lantern of Diogenes:
There is still no man in the world! -
The metaphor of the century ... The pathos of the century ...
 
History chokes us
                  rings of your body
The spiral broke
                  and apparently this is the case:
Today, the bullet sings, - I am looking for a man! -
Century metaphor ... Century rock ...
 
Loved teeth
             and loving women
Slide through the body
                looking for comfortable cracks:
This is a portrait, but no man! -
The metaphor of the century ... The love of the century ...
 
But something must
                 finally reconcile it all.
Cheated spring
               will inevitably sink into oblivion:
Living well, where there is no man! -
The metaphor of the century ... The death of the century ...
 
And the image is getting farther
                  from the thing that gave birth to it,
Billions of souls but
                  not one thing lives among them:
To die born is the fate of man! -
The metaphor of the century ... The essence of the century ...
