Başa Sar

Ege Can Sal's song "Başa Sar" delves into the emotional turmoil of facing unexpected setbacks and the desire to rewind time. The phrase "Başa sar" translates to "rewind" or "start over," which sets the tone for the entire song. The lyrics express a sense of loss and disillusionment, as the protagonist finds that everything they once held dear has slipped away. The repeated lines, "Elimdekiler kalmadı düştü / Bir anda tersine döndü / Gerçeği gördüm, hayalime küstüm," highlight the sudden and harsh realization that dreams have been shattered, and reality has taken a cruel turn.

The song captures the struggle of coming to terms with these harsh truths. The lines "Çok zor, bi' de bana sor / Başladığı gibi bak yaklaşıyo' son" emphasize the difficulty of the situation and the inevitability of an approaching end. The protagonist grapples with the futility of clinging to dreams, as reflected in the lines "Rüyalarını bi' kenara koy / Uyandığında çünkü hiç dönüşü yok." This suggests a painful awakening to a reality where there is no turning back.

Ege Can Sal also touches on the mental and emotional exhaustion that comes with trying to find solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems. The lyrics "Kapıldım olur olmaz düşüncelere / Belki zaman zaman bahanelere / Teker teker, çareler tükendi birer birer" convey a sense of being overwhelmed by thoughts and excuses, with all possible solutions gradually running out. The song's melancholic tone is further emphasized by the imagery of scars that remain, as seen in the lines "Dönüp bakmam inan artık geriye / Ama sanki silinmez kazınır deriye." This suggests that the experiences have left a lasting impact, etched into the protagonist's very being.
