Thats just true

[@evilbabai7083]

Translation is not accurate, too much specific assumptions that could twist the perception. I would better go with this one:
Every night you sit by the window,
Moving the stars.
Every night you're not up to sleep -
it's all so serious.
I remember, I know -
the wind is in your hands.
You are delirious with an artificial paradise
In your dreams.
Push the button - you will get the result,
And your dream will come true!
Push the button, but why aren't you happy?
You have nothing to strive for anymore...
In the rustle of night raindrops,
You've encrypted the hope.
Built a world where you're at the helm,
So why you can't sleep as before?
Tell me, why are you hesitating to execute the plan?
Counting the minutes, you stare at a blank screen...
Push the button - you will get the result,
And your dream will come true!
Push the button, but why aren't you happy?
You have nothing to strive for anymore...

Da button

this song is about heroine addiction, it has nothing to do with nuclear button

[@vandebrug6090]

Put one not slowed

[@evilbabai7083]

How on Earth anyone can associate this song with a nuclear button?! With such logic it could be stretched to a toilet flush button no problem then

americans are dumb, they cannot understand a metaphore

[@evilbabai7083]

@russian_goober original has nothing to do with a nuclear bombs, there's no mention about it anywhere, neither in audio nor in video. In fact the authors themselves told that they were inspired by rapid development of the computer tech which could possibly deprive humans of their purpose in the future.
The fact another performers decided to add some extra while making their cover of the song doesn't change anything - no amount of speculation will make that assumption to fit the song's premise.
Not to mention that any associations with a nuclear button should've been dismissed just by listening anything besides the word "button", since there is no such ambiguity in the lyrics that could allow such interpretation.

[@evilbabai7083]

@russian_goober did you even read my comment? There's nothing in the lyrics to suggest that meaning, the only thing one could grab on is a word "button" in them, but that would be a way too much of a stretch to a nuclear button, given that would be along the very last meanings that could somewhat fit the topic.
But it seems people are often fail to grasp the meaning of the songs because they can't perceive them as a whole, cherry-picking the phrases instead, even if there's no secret meaning involved to begin with - e.g. like it seems everyone for some reason believe that "Last Christmas" song is about Christmas.

@russian_goober you know you can edit your comments, right?
No, that intro is only in "Chernikovskaya Hata" 2016 version, which is *not* the original. Original was released by "Technology" in 1991, and neither the original audio, nor the official music video contains anything like that, not to mention it makes no sense in the context of lyrics and the authors were crystal clear regarding the meaning of the song in the only interview about it.

Who cares, just interpret it as you want
