Further Lyrics Explanation:

*box: "no matter what you do, it doesn't matter, it's all like a box" because the box is all the same on every side, the artist has also used the phrase "my routine is like a box" in a previous song to express stoicism.
Alternatively, it can be translated as "matchbox" but the meaning doesn't change "what can you do with a matchbox"/"what can something so small do to change the bigger picture",
ALSO could be a reference to "Как с короба взять" which is like a thing ships had and it was full of trash(iirc) so
basically TL;DR means "it's useless"

*Roundelay: I'm pretty sure in english roundelay means the song and not the dance, but i couldn't find a more fitting word, but basically it's the traditional slavic circle dance.

*"Hey Kids, protect the kids!": Can also be translated as "Guys(everyone), protect the kids(/the rest/everyone)!" but using the same word is kind of wordplay to make them more equal in a way, like "protect those who are weaker than you, even though you yourself still need protection for the stronger" or just “everyone protect everyone”

*The poking method: blindly poking, random selection

*What a slap in the face! - honestly no clue what that part meant, I'm like 98.99% sure it's just an exclamation, could literally be translated as "What a/Here's a lady's shrine(ironic)"

*6 tens of pines/Clocktower/Where were the angles, when there was no park?: It's a reference to the 'Park of Angels/Angels Park' that was built as a memorial after the Kemerovo fire in 2018, at the memorial were planted 60 pine trees to represent all those killed in the fire as well as a clocktower.
