The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Motorcycle" (Motocikl) the performer of the song "The King and the Jester"

My motorcycle growled beneath me,

Racing me home through the night.

Gazing at fields, I didn't see

Someone charging into the light.

(Chorus)

A scream pierced through the dark,

Blood splattered on my face!

Someone wailed from behind,

But I pushed on, increasing my pace!

That awful scream kept ringing in my ears,

As I rode further away.

What have I done, I hit a man it appears,

But he was blocking my way.

(Chorus)

Shaken, I reached home by dawn,

And as I flicked on my bedroom light.

Believe it or not, upon my bed, forlorn,

Lay a bloody figure in the night.

(Chorus)

Злился подо мной мотоцикл мой,

Ночью он мчал меня домой.

Глядя на поля, не заметил я,

Что кто-то чешет прямо на меня.

Припев:

И раздался крик во мгле,

Кровь в лицо попала мне!

Кто-то сзади голосил,

А я гнал, что было сил!

Тот ужасный крик все звучал в ушах моих,

Но я все дальше уезжал.

Что ж я натворил, я же человека сбил,

Но он проехать мне мешал.

(Припев)

Утром, сам не свой, прибыл я домой,

И, лишь зажег я в спальне свет.

Хочешь - верь, не верь, на кровати на моей

Лежал кровавый человек.

(Припев)

The song "Motorcycle" by the band "Korol i Shut" tells a dark and frightening story, full of understatement and mystical horror. The lyrical hero is rushing home on a motorcycle on a dark night, absorbed in his thoughts and not noticing anything around him. Suddenly, an accident occurs – the hero hits a man.

However, the hero's reaction to the incident is terrifying and bewildering. Instead of stopping and helping the injured man, he continues on his way, pursued by screams and guilt. Fear, selfishness, and possibly a state of shock force him to flee responsibility.

The culmination of the story is the morning when the hero, returning home, finds the bloodied victim of the accident on his bed. This moment leaves more questions than answers. Was it a dream, a hallucination, or something supernatural?

"Motorcycle" is not just a song about an accident; it is a metaphor for human soullessness, selfishness, and inability to take responsibility for one's actions. The story leaves a depressing aftertaste and makes you think about the dark sides of the human soul.
