Three years have passed since the release of The House with Normal Phenomena, however many of the album's compositions do not lose their popularity, including the rock and roll Party. But the name of the song does not mean at all that the lyrics are built on the “three pillars” of rap: grandmas, cars, chicks. And the party itself in the context resembles a whirl of life rather than an uncontrolled bacchanalia with a cheap swill.
If we assume that the party is equated with the word “life”, then “the same plate” becomes in this mathematical expression a degree of infinity. Not understood? Existence is cyclical, and the motive repeated over and over again monotonously eats into the life of the lyrical hero of the song.
In the second quatrain, we learn about the surroundings of the “path maker”, where all the “smiles are like from the black market”. In order to catch the essence of such an economic digression, it is enough to know that the black market is always illegal, but extremely profitable. The character of the song Scryptonite is trying to come to terms with the fact that deliberate hypocrisy is the routine of the fake world. But despite the acting people, the lyrical hero is devoid of self-interest, therefore, in his kitchen you can meet both a “commoner” and a “queen”.
The third quatrain refers us to the eternal questions of life and death, and the symbolic images of an angel and a demon represent the hour of moral death. But “the house is not empty”: no matter how many people we lose for one reason or another, they still remain in our memories.
In the final part of the first verse, there are numerical values: “On the watch it seems like today is the sixth month and the third day.” If you are a true admirer of Adil’s work, then you probably know that his date of birth is the third of June. Emphasizing such a significant number, the lyrical hero tries to say that his whole life has been mixed into one common whirlwind, in which he dies and is reborn anew.
The theme of death also develops in the next couplet, where Adil mentions a pirate flag: "there are only bones and a skull on the flag." This symbol can be interpreted not only as “momento mori”, but also as the futility of worldly being. And the line “thousands of kilometers in a couple of events” indicates the unpredictability and swiftness of our life, which is approaching its completion every minute. In the second part of the “Party”, the tragedy of those realities in which the character of Scriptonite resides is intensified by means of a comparison: “We drink as if we won at Bingo.” Thanks to the reference to the popular gambling game, you can understand that fortune is clearly not on the side of the hero. And despite the fact that there is a "billion ways to get out," he remains at this sham, but already familiar party.
