Бакенбарды translates to "sideburns". It's a rather unusual and specific word to find in a song, making it quite memorable and intriguing.
In the lyrics, the singer compares his "advances" or "attempts" (поползновения) to sideburns that his beloved shaves off every morning. This creates a vivid and somewhat humorous image of his efforts being repeatedly rejected or dismissed, highlighting the one-sided nature of the relationship described in the song.
This song is about walking away from a relationship that has run its course, and leaving the blame behind rather than carrying it forward.
The singer keeps repeating that he will leave his grievances on his ex's conscience, letting her sort out what happened between them. He weaves in a few tongue in cheek proverbs, comparing love to a map, a compass, and even a pair of pants, poking fun at how confusing and mismatched the relationship became.
By the end he is practical about it: she keeps the house, they go their separate ways, and he leaves the judging to her conscience, or to God. It is a breakup song that trades bitterness for a shrug.
