Kiev Lyrics
This is a heartbreaking song. It's about a man who loved another man who is now dead and how he could not express his love for him. It has the feel of being a long time ago when that was completely unacceptable. Not sure when it was written but clearly it was way ahead of its time.

@yafmenYahoo That “love” could also just be platonic or familial. The song talks a lot about his family, that “old man” could be his aforementioned father. Maybe he regrets not loving his son enough while he was alive, instead settling for a boring, “simple” life. The rest of the song is about the tragedy of living such a static, unremarkable, unmemorable life, so I feel like this is an extension of that.

It sounds depressive as if this were written yesterday...
