Interpretation
The lyrics of the song 'KATASTROF' by
Olexesh revolve around the harsh life in the underworld, characterized by crime, drugs, and violence. The title 'KATASTROF' could be an allusion to the chaotic and dangerous life that the artist describes.
The text begins with the line 'Under the bridges, I feed the pigeons', which suggests a life on the streets. 'After that, I go to Frank's, smoke twenty bags of combo' hints at drug use. Throughout the song, Olexesh repeatedly mentions drugs, indicating the prevalence of drugs in the underworld.
The line 'For the Gulag, for the Wowas, for the Babushkas filled with hate' could be a reference to the harsh punishments imposed for offenses in the underworld. The term 'Gulag' refers to a network of labor camps in the Soviet Union, and 'Wowas' and 'Babushkas' are Russian terms for older women - possibly an allusion to the fact that even they are not protected from the harsh realities of the underworld.
'Fuck you, I'm an oligarch, you smoke hairs from his ass' is an aggressive line that emphasizes the power and wealth that Olexesh has in this underworld. The term 'oligarch' refers to a small group of people who have significant power and influence in a state or organization.
The recurring motif of 'Turn it up to the limit, I want to jump until the ceiling bursts' could be a portrayal of the excessive and dangerous lifestyle that Olexesh and his associates lead, while 'We love Jeeps, deal so you can get it' alludes to illegal trading.
Overall, 'KATASTROF' paints a dark picture of life in the underworld, characterized by violence, drugs, power, and excess.
