Describing an uncertain and declining time for the Soviet Union, Kino has a reputation for capturing the feelings of many Soviet youths in music. Under the Stalin era, political suppression was a key tool that kept the diverse and massive Soviet Union together. Once Gorbachev rose to power, unlike his predecessors, he started to allow the Soviet State Republics to have more freedom for themselves. Although allowing people more freedom to think for themselves, it would prove fatal for the Soviet Union as a whole and was soon dissolved in 1991.
This song describes the longing for freedom through metaphors describing the new ideas of soviet youth that wanted to break free from the thoughts of old.
To those who opposed them, the song tells them "Good Dreams, Good Night" as their "hooves" can't be stopped now.
