Lyrics
Intro: Sound of distant winter surf, slow piano notes]
Verse 1
The white haze of moonlight.
The white shine of the snow.
The white edge of the tablecloth.
And the whitish Panama.
The white sand at the bottom of the brain.
White sounds of the surf.
The white hands of the clock.
And a white, motionless flame.
Pre-Chorus
A bit of salt is left…
on the white tablecloth.
A bit of blue is left…
in the whitish Panama…
Chorus
The whiteness blinds the pupil.
The whiteness numbs the mind.
The whiteness sifts the conscience…
The whiteness… cleans the soul.
Verse 2
The black shade of the palms.
The black curve of the pince-nez.
The black outline of the jacket.
And the black edge… of despair.
Pre-Chorus
A bit of salt is left… (echo)
A bit of blue is left… (echo)
Chorus
The whiteness blinds the pupil… (cleans the soul)
Bridge - авторский, эмоциональный срыв
And I am left here, in this blinding white,
With this salt on my lips and this void in my chest.
This “edge of despair” is not a metaphor —
It’s the taste of tomorrow, empty and vast.
The clock hands are frozen. The flame is a lie.
This whiteness is not cleansing… It’s learning to die.
So scream, if you can, through this silent Gagra night!
But the surf only whispers: “Give up the fight.”
Final Chorus - with desperation
The whiteness BLINDS the pupil!
The whiteness NUMBS the mind!
The whiteness SIFTS the conscience!
But it KILLS… what it finds…
Outro: Fading sound of surf, single held piano note
