Lyrics
I know
I understand
what you're thinking
Aware of your thoughts
It's, "There's that guy who tried to poison me"
Perceived idea: "There's that guy who tried to poison me."
Nonsense!
Dismissing the idea as absurd
I'm from your childhood
Claiming a connection to the listener's childhood
always playing my piano on the Telefís
Describing playing the piano on Telefís during childhood
Here he comes, see how he glows
Introducing Mr. Imperator with a radiant description
Waited on by antelopes
Highlighting a luxurious lifestyle with antelopes serving
Break for tea with the FSB
Break for tea with the FSB (Russian intelligence agency)
Mr Imperator will tinkle the keys
Mr. Imperator playing the piano
Tonight, tonight...
Repetition for emphasis: The event is happening tonight
Riding
Traveling to Sochi
down to Sochi
Reference to a custom Steinway piano waiting in Sochi
Custom Steinway waits for me there
(No specific meaning)
The ebony gleams and all is show
Describing the elegance of the piano
Biohazards have been stowed
Mention of safety measures: Biohazards stored away
Nerve gas spritzers - all aboard!
Humorous reference to nerve gas spritzers
Mr. Imperator's durable hoard
Mr. Imperator's possessions are durable
Tonight, tonight...
Repetition for emphasis: The event is happening tonight
Hall, plush and gilded
Describing a plush and gilded hall
Draws you in
The hall attracts and captivates
You have no skin
A surreal or metaphorical statement: "You have no skin"
You have no skin
Repetition for emphasis: "You have no skin"
Shall we begin?
Proposing to begin something
You have no skin
Repetition for emphasis: "You have no skin"
Mood music, thin
Describing the music as thin
The maestro grins
Mr. Imperator, the maestro, grins
Where is my skin?
A question: Where is my skin?
You have no skin
Repetition for emphasis: "You have no skin"
You have no skin
-I've got a song you know
Claiming to have a song
Come on, come on let's go!
Inviting to go somewhere or do something
