not only was he one of the leading underground song writers and composers
in the post Soviet era — I’d say he was around long before the USSR broke
up… anyway, yeah his lyrics are mostly based on rational/irrational
philosophy or thinking… actually, very emotionLESS but driving into some
special understanding of the reality.. gotta be Russian and Russian native
speaker to get it, actually
@ThatLovelyEnglishBob Egor died in 2008.
if you like this band, I could translate to you some songs. Can speak
english and russian pretty well. Just send me a message in case you need
some info and translations).
2) Twilights and gods have plodded into their corners, A yawn has split the
horizon into halves, Hour after hour, Year after year, Century after
century We’ll be getting used to it We’ll be getting used to it
thanks!
If you’re still around I’d like some too, I love this band.
ou’d probably want to check Egor’s main project Grazhdanskaya Oborna
(Гражданская Оборона), translates as Civil Defense. There are around 18
albums of the stuff. I think, you’d really like these two albums, if you
like the «fuckups» project:
1) GETTING USED TO IT Was it “serving us right”, Or was it sending us home,
Or maybe was it “good riddance!” Or maybe something else? Just like stones,
Just like roots, Just like worms – We’ll be getting used to it We’ll be
getting used to it.
hmm… doesn’t let me put the links in the comment , although they’re are
available online for free download. I can send you some info, if you give
me your email

Sorry, no good translations that I know of and I’m not good enough with
words to translate myself.
Egor was an interesting person, quite a character actually. Famous in
Russia, though little known outside of the country (btw, i wonder where and
how you found out about him ? :). Really intelligent guy, a fiercely
non-conformist thinker, poet with punk/absurdist/dadaist/surrealist roots
and extensive psychedelic drug experience to beef up his resume, lol. I did
a quick translation of the song, will post it now.
3) Something white and blind Now lives in my chest, Maybe blizzard, maybe –
moths, Maybe all that is ahead Maybe it’s thirst Maybe it’s noontime Maybe
it’s soot We’ll be getting used to it We’ll be getting used to it
Oh, I can asure you, mate — the lyrics are fuckin awesome. Egor was known
to be one of the best poets in post-soviet underground scene.
Hi! I wrote you a message — check it!
Awesome—are they around at all? I guessed as much from what I’ve heard
about him.
