this song gives off a really strong feeling of harsh criticism of society and religion. by saying "I don't wanna live without you", and that "death from above is still a death", she's directly defying judeo-christianity. she chooses her secular love over love for a god. she also condemns society as losing its touch with romanticism, instead becoming cynical and sarcastic. the line "What if to each his own lonely grave" hit me the most. we've lost the ability to love beyond life by putting it all into faith in a higher power.
i also love that this song really sounds "russian" if that makes any sense with the "hey!"'s thrown in with the tambourine shake.
