Song Meaning of “История одного убийцы – Live” by Aria
This song is an exploration of the life of a murderer as he reflects on the choices he has made and the path he has taken. The first verse begins with the killer speaking about how he has been living with the guilt of his actions and the consequences of his life. He speaks of talking to empty air and how his conscience weighs heavily on him. The chorus amplifies the emotion of his lack of remorse when he declares, “I have lost my soul and my rainbows are gone. I’m trying to find redemption, but it’s too late.” The second verse paints a vivid picture of the killer’s life, revealing how he has been living in the shadows to avoid punishment and how his reckless actions are tearing him apart. The chorus again emphasizes the killer’s regret and sorrow as he pleads for redemption and understanding. The final verse brings the full weight and power of the song together as the killer acknowledges his guilt, but also refuses to be a victim. He speaks of how all the darkness and pain he has caused will never go away, but still proclaims “I know I’m in control, I have a plan”. In the final bridge of the song, the killer seems to find a moment of clarity when he sings, “I’ve lived life on the edge, now I must pay the price. For everything I have done I will never turn back time.” By the end of the song, the killer has come to terms with the past and is ready to face his future.
