NAME Lyrics Meaning

[Интро]
The intro sets the tone for the song, introducing a futuristic, high-energy trap style. The artist hints at a “new era,” suggesting a shift in music, lifestyle, or personal evolution. It immediately gives off a confident, dominant vibe, preparing the listener for what’s to come.

[Куплет 1]
OBLADAET describes his daily routine, emphasizing his international lifestyle. He wakes up in the UK, but his business and connections stretch across different time zones, including Russia. He talks about receiving offers through messaging apps and how people want to collaborate with him, using his influence to promote their products. However, he sees through these attempts—they don’t want creativity, just a formula for success. He asserts his independence and dominance, expressing confidence in his personal style and choices. He also distances himself from mainstream rap trends, focusing instead on intellectual growth by reading more and using less slang. He values intelligence in people, especially in women, preferring deeper connections over superficial relationships. His movement is unpredictable—one moment he’s present, the next he’s gone. He represents his crew but doesn’t feel the need to introduce himself because his reputation speaks for itself. He also calls out fake people, recognizing when others are pretending. He even expresses more trust in horoscopes than in Moscow rappers, suggesting that many in the industry are dishonest. Despite knowing a few real ones, he believes most are not genuine.

[Припев]
In the chorus, OBLADAET reflects on his evolution. He used to wear flashy jewelry but now values his reputation and name more. He recalls wearing multiple rings like brass knuckles and having excessive amounts of ice (jewelry), comparing it to broken wrists. Over time, he realized that carrying unnecessary weight—both physically and mentally—was holding him back. He compares himself to an overweight person who now seeks speed and agility, symbolizing his desire for growth and efficiency in life. He is no longer interested in quick, meaningless pleasures like casual flings; instead, he craves challenges and deeper experiences. He emphasizes that he doesn’t put on an act to impress others and speaks his truth without filters.

[Куплет 2]
ICEGERGERT enters with his own perspective, discussing his background and lifestyle. He mentions spending money on quality food for his older associates, showing a sense of loyalty and respect. He was raised with a bold and fearless mindset, partly due to his father’s criminal past. He talks about spending money on smoke, trap music, and flexing, highlighting a mix of indulgence and hustling. When it comes to relationships, he keeps things casual, admitting he’s not looking for anything serious. His girlfriend now has a significant amount of money, which adds to the power dynamic in his life. He issues a stark warning: if anyone harms the women in his life, their family will face severe consequences. He describes an escalating cycle of violence, showing the harsh reality of his world. He then shifts to personal struggles, mentioning his OCD and how he absorbs pain rather than expressing it openly. His friend is aggressive, breaking someone’s throat like a golf move, illustrating their readiness for conflict. He describes his city as a place where people are always consuming—whether it’s food, money, or opportunities—and he takes on the role of providing for them. He references illegal activities, including laundering money and forging documents, highlighting the darker aspects of his lifestyle. He also touches on his relationships, mentioning women who enjoy rough encounters, but he keeps things anonymous and low-profile. He moves carefully, avoiding unnecessary attention, especially when driving with illegal goods.

[Припев]
The chorus repeats, reinforcing the idea that material things no longer define OBLADAET. He acknowledges his past excesses but now prioritizes his reputation and a more purposeful approach to life. He seeks challenges rather than easy gratification and stays true to himself without putting on a facade.

[Аутро]
The song ends on a dark, intense note with the phrase “Total f*cking darkness.” This could symbolize the harsh reality of their world, the emotional weight they carry, or simply the unapologetic, raw nature of their lives. It leaves the listener with a sense of mystery and intensity, staying true to the song’s overall mood.
