Analysis

The lyrics beat the fall motive, one of the most common in Russian rock poetry ^[8] , associated, in this case, with the suicidal moods characteristic of adolescents ^[9] , “teenage suicidal threats to the world” ^[2] , and is a set graphomanic , “pop” literary stamps on the theme of unhappy love and suicide, which are saved only by the reputation of the King and the Jester group and the first lines of “Torn off My Wind / Hat”, which allow us to rank the song as “role” lyrics ^[10] .

At the same time, Alexander “Chacha” Ivanov , the leader of the NAIV group, speaking about the reason for the success of “King and the Jester” described this song as going beyond the boundaries of the genre and called it one of the “hymns of generation” ^[11] .
