"Spleen" is a cult Russian rock band. The band's penetrating lyrics are highly appreciated by fans and music critics. Quotes from the songs of "Spleen" carry a deep meaning and are remembered by the listener, since Alexander Vasilyev is always sincere and original in creating poetic images.

Love Quotes

The theme of love is one of the key motifs of the band's work. Quotes from the songs of "Spleen" about this feeling are varied: he sings about tragic love - unrequited or doomed to separation, and about happy, and about long gone and become only a memory.

Often the performer in the lyrics refers directly to his beloved, using the pronoun "you", sometimes talks about the relationship between two people from the position of an observer.

But the author invariably emphasizes the significance of this feeling, speaks of its strength and ability to destroy a person, or save from death.

Philosophical Quotes

Besides love, in his work Vasiliev often talks about the meaning of life. There are quotes from the songs of "Spleen", referring to the philosophical trend of fatalism. You can see how often the poet refers to the image of the supreme observer, thereby showing the inevitability of fate and the predestined path.

Sometimes a musician confesses in verse that he does not see the point: he writes about the aimlessness of being, due to the futility of efforts and limited knowledge. He draws attention to the relativity of truth, to the huge number of delusions that form during a person's life.

Political and social quotes

In an interview, Alexander Vasiliev practically does not voice political views, calling his main task the creation of good songs, and not inciting the listener to fight.

Nevertheless, in his works, the musician spoke many times about the problems of the state and society - corruption, bureaucracy, lack of publicity. The negative attitude of the author to the war is most clearly expressed in the texts. Many quotes from the songs of "Spleen" have a pacifist orientation.

Quotes about myself

Like any creative person, Alexander Vasiliev tries to comprehend himself in this world in his texts, wonders about the highest destiny, writes a lot about internal contradictions, about talent, about the eternal search for opportunities for self-expression.

In some songs, the musician opposes himself to society and even his own listener.

You can find quotes from "Spleen" in which the author admits that he cannot fully convey in words what is happening in his soul, or does not want and does not see the point in doing this, because he does not hope to be understood.

Motivational quotes

Despite Vasiliev's frequent motive of hopelessness, some of Spleen's quotes are a call to action and motivate for great accomplishments. In his lyrics, Vasiliev reminds the listener of the value of life, which is passing right now.

This does not mean, according to the position of the author (or his lyrical hero), that everyone should set themselves ambitious goals and achieve them. Rather, we are talking about the need to constantly look for something new, to explore the world, to enjoy every moment spent on earth. Although the theme of struggle, and sometimes rebellion, also often appears in the poet's texts.

• We were born into this world to read all the books, learn all the songs by heart.

Time Quotes

A characteristic feature of Alexander Vasiliev's poetic talent is a subtle sense of the flow of life: he is able to figuratively convey the scale of a particular time period, in a metaphor to reflect the essence and spirit of a particular moment or period.

Vasiliev reflects on the transience of life. Sometimes the space in which the plot of his song develops turns out to be outside the usual framework of calendars and clocks, the chronology is discarded as a convention.

A clear designation of the space-time situation is the main means of creating an atmosphere in many tracks of the Spleen group.

Most famous quotes

Like any band with a rich history and a huge number of listeners and fans, Spleen has lines that everyone knows. These are not necessarily the most profound and complex statements of the musician.

Usually these are the most memorable phrases from songs that have become hits and gained popularity far beyond the circle of rock band fans.
