A central figure in the story is the mother. The lyrics state that when life becomes too heavy, "only a mother can help". This highlights a theme of unconditional love acting as the only safety net for youth living on the edge.
The song's popularity stems from its duality: it functions as a club-friendly track thanks to the Chicagoo Remix, but it resonates deeply with listeners who identify with the "street-soul" lyrics typical of the post-Soviet rap scene.
The lyrics describe a "heavy soul" and the difficulties of growing up in a harsh environment. It reflects on the mistakes made by young people who feel lost as the sun sets and night—often a metaphor for trouble or crime—begins.
