Regina Spektor – Chemo Limo Lyrics 15 years ago
Agree.

"They said "you'll be ok anyway" and I smiled cause I'd known it all the while". Metaphor. They said she's gonna die anyway.

"I can afford chemo like I can afford limo". Limo is another metaphor (something expensive and not affordable). If she pays money for the treatment that not helping her at all - why the hell should she keep on with that? She'd rather ride on a limo with her kids. Going west is one more metaphor for ruined expectations, plans, future.

"Crispy crispy BF babysat all four of my kids". This line is a metaphor for leaving her kids with no money to live and no one who'd take care of them.

And she has terminal cancer which along with the chemo makes her hallucinate. So the doctor becomes a limo driver, her daughter's image is mixed up with that of her dead mom.

Thus I think that two main words lirically describing this song is 'metaphor' and 'hallucination'.

Zemfira – Снег начнется Lyrics 15 years ago
English translation

[When it] Starts to snow

I see you
Hear you
Running to me on rooftops
Afraid to be late

Half-firmament eyes
Half-life ago
Give me your heart
Sit down and we'll be waiting

When it starts to snow
Starts to snow

I see you
Hear you
Trust me with your secrets
And where am I to look for you
When it starts to snow
Starts to snow

I see you
