The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Einen Lenin Pro Tag" by the artist "Weena Morloch"

Weena Morloch's poem "Einen Lenin Pro Tag" ("One Lenin a Day") is an ironic depiction of a child's rebellion against the world of literature imposed by their parents. The lyrical hero, a child, is surrounded by books that are forced upon him, disregarding his own interests. He perceives this as an act of aggression, comparing the books to enemies that need to be destroyed.

The image of Lenin is not accidental here. For the older generation that grew up in the Soviet Union, Lenin was a cult figure, the embodiment of an ideology that permeated all spheres of life. The child, unaware and not understanding this ideology, nevertheless feels its oppressive presence in the form of endless volumes of classics "occupying" his space.

By "destroying" books, the child is not fighting against the authors themselves or their works, but against the system that imposes alien values on him. He metaphorically burns, buries, sends "Lenins" flying, i.e., tries to free himself from the yoke of ideologized culture.

At the same time, the poem can be interpreted more broadly, as a metaphor for any generational conflict. Children always rebel against the world of adults, trying to assert their right to individuality. And in this sense, "books" become a symbol of any attitudes and dogmas that the older generation tries to pass on to the younger.
