Bu Su Hiç Durmaz

Bülent Ortaçgil's song 'Bu Su Hiç Durmaz' (This Water Never Stops) is a poetic exploration of life's unstoppable nature and the emotional barriers we create. The lyrics are rich with metaphors and imagery, painting a vivid picture of the human experience. The song opens with the imagery of being covered like snow, suggesting a sense of being overwhelmed or numbed by life's challenges. The internal flowers trembling one by one symbolize the fragility of hope and dreams in the face of adversity.

The recurring theme of taking precautions and setting prohibitions highlights the different ways people cope with life's uncertainties. While one person takes measures to protect themselves, the other imposes restrictions, perhaps as a form of self-preservation. The metaphor of dams in front of them represents the obstacles and barriers that hinder their progress. Despite these barriers, the refrain 'Bu Su Hiç Durmaz' emphasizes that life, like water, continues to flow relentlessly.

The song also touches on themes of unfulfilled potential and misunderstood intentions. The beauty and generosity of the individual are likened to a hidden pomegranate, suggesting that their true worth is not recognized by others. The silence and eventual departure without looking back reflect a sense of resignation and the inevitability of moving forward. Ortaçgil's melancholic yet hopeful tone captures the essence of human resilience and the continuous journey of life, making 'Bu Su Hiç Durmaz' a profound reflection on the human condition.
