I very strongly dislike tatu, but found this song intruiging. It's a shame that they don't write more songs like this. I connected with this one a lot. With me, it assosciates very closely with the 'grey void' feeling, where it is just impossible to enjoy anyone or anything in the emotional struggles of life. The previous and most fitting one is the one regarding their previos manager, but that's not one I choose to believe because there are other elements in the lyrics that express differently.
To me, the opening verse means detachment. The phrase "the moon is reflected in each puddle" is imagery, not anything literal, and fits the "grey void" theory better. I certainly feel this a lot - I feel very badly detached, there are just so few people in the world who are genuine friends who match my feelings, understandings and attitudes.
"Clouds foolishly miss each other" to me implies missed oppurtunity, as well as perhaps confusion and detachment. "Alive for now" implies a possible suicide or giving up in some way.
I read some other interpretation somewhere else a while ago that suggested that "monkey zero" refers to the honest, good people of the world who get constantly crushed by reality, doing their best for themselves and everyone else but consistently lucking out. "Cheerful, ridiculous" pain is exactly the way I feel worst, when I'm supposed to be really happy, finding something funny or good, but just can't. That's when I feel most hurt, it's ironic. If anyone's felt that way, you'll understand exactly what I mean.
I find myself equating the monkey idea with the "honest psycho". Many people are much too narrow minded or insensitive to understand. They're the ones that need to learn and improve, not us. So many of us are terrific people that are just misunderstood.
My life feels like perpetual imprisonment. The perpetual memories of pain will never subside. I have difficulty finding a girlfriend, because so very many people are so unimaginably fake and predictable. So when I really found someone I liked, who was very likeminded, we were both dismissed as even worse nut-jobs.
This interpretation fits very well with the "Null and Void" English equivalent, too.
If only tATu would stop with the (fake) lesbian
smooching, and write some real, musically mature songs, and perform them accordingly. Then they might be an OK band.
this might be coming like 4 years too late, but the fake lesbian routine wasn't their idea, and this song is their way of expressing that >.<

They were monkeys, for entertainment, and they felt they were trapped in that trendy controversial cage their sick twisted manager had made for them.

Maybe if they weren't so unlucky back then, things would have been different, but their music still contained important messages to some extent, and the lyrics inspired and instilled confidence in (i'm sure) many people who felt disadvantaged or discriminated against.

FWI, they stopped the "fake lesbian" thing years and years before you posted that.
And yes, they do sometimes "kiss", but it's little pecks. Kisses among friends is not uncommon in Russia.

And t.A.T.u. sings MATURE SONGS. All the time. Their music is far more mature than the typical pop band. Just read their lyrics. This song is not the only meaningful, mature song they have sung. They have many songs about this very subject, in fact.

So before you judge, actually take a look and see for yourself.
