The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Вишні" by the artist "Wellboy"

In the song "Vishni" ("Cherries"), Wellboy uses the image of cherries as a metaphor for love and relationships.

Cherries symbolize the fleeting nature, fragility, and sweetness of love. Just as cherry blossoms last only a week, the hero's feelings flared up brightly but perhaps prematurely. The recurring line "Our cherries blossomed last week" emphasizes the transient and possibly already faded love.

Despite the outward similarity ("We are very much alike"), the heroes are "not adjacent," meaning they are not meant for each other. Perhaps there are obstacles, or the feelings are unrequited.

The lyrics contain a motif of awkwardness and disappointment: "A jar of cherry compote - And it's not funny somehow," "I tossed a cherry into the sky, Didn't catch it in my mouth." The hero seems to be trying to grasp at fading love, but to no avail.

The image of cherries takes on different shades throughout the song: from romantic ("We loved cherry pies, And we hung together like cherries in the sky") to bitter ("I thought the cherries were ripe, but they are green").

The ending of the song is imbued with sadness and acceptance: "You are like a cherry, I am like a plum." The hero realizes that they are different and not destined to be together. The downpour at the end is a metaphor for his sadness and disappointment. However, despite the sadness, he retains hope: "I walk... with positivity."
