  • Yes? It’s like cleaning as you cook so you don’t have a pile of dishes when you’re done. You get something all over your hands, you just wash your hands. You do something and get sweaty, you just go and clean it up before it dries. It’s so much better than sitting in your own sweat, waiting to go home and shower.

    I only shower on hair wash days. Showering isn’t the only form of bathing, and I don’t understand why people think soap stops working outside a shower. I feel absolutely gross if I can’t take a wet washcloth with some soap and wipe all the grime off periodically. If you’re relying on a daily shower to keep you clean, and don’t wash outside a shower, you must be absolutely disgusting.


  • So, some of this is a bit of deep cut of Russian history, which is probably contributing to your confusion.

    Here's my take.

    I’d like to talk to you, But the TV is too loud— It’s pretending to be your head, Its speaker is so much like your mouth.

    The artist would like to have a conversation, but the person they want to talk to is just repeating the propaganda they see on TV.

    My country has risen from its knees In all its negative growth. I negatively agree with everything— Here’s my answer to your non-question:

    The USSR fell in the '90s, and the artist doesn’t think modern Russia has developed in a good way.

    Where have you been for eight years, Fucking inhuman beings?! I want to watch the ballet— Let the swans dance!

    Eight years is likely referring to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The ballet bit is talking about how Swan Lake played on repeat during the fall of the USSR, as a placeholder to keep broadcast airwaves available for use as emergency broadcast. Because it has been so completely tied to the idea of political upheaval in Russia, it’s recently picked up steam again as a sort of shorthand for calling for protest and resistance against the government.

    Let Grandpa tremble in fear for his “Lake.” Get the nightingales off the screen— Let the swans dance!

    Grandpa was pro-USSR, the artist wants the empire to hurry up and fall already.

    When it’s all over, you’ll be silent And pretend you had nothing to do with it. Your face is more sour than a Crimean cherry plum: You’re clearly slightly depressed about something.

    Once the USSR had fallen, a lot of people tried to deny their support or involvement with it.

    The song repeats a few things, and the only thing left of note is that “Solovyov” has been a news anchor on Russian television since shortly before the invasion of Ukraine.
