Bu Su Hiç Durmaz
Elçin Sangu Ve Barıs Arduç
The Unstoppable Flow of Life and Emotions
The song "Bu Su Hiç Durmaz" by Elçin Sangu and Barış Arduç is a poetic exploration of the complexities of human emotions and the relentless passage of life. The lyrics metaphorically use natural elements such as snow covering flowers and overflowing rivers to depict the suppression and eventual release of feelings. The imagery of snow covering flowers suggests a concealment of beauty and vitality, which resonates with the theme of hidden emotions and potential that is not allowed to flourish.
The chorus, with its repeated line 'Bu su hiç durmaz' which translates to 'This water never stops,' emphasizes the idea that, despite obstacles (symbolized by 'barajlar' or 'dams'), life's essence, like a river, continues to flow. This can be interpreted as a message about resilience and the unstoppable force of life, which persists regardless of the barriers we face or impose upon ourselves. The contrast between taking precautions ('önlemler aldın') and setting prohibitions ('yasaklar koydum') highlights different approaches to dealing with life's challenges.
The song also touches on themes of beauty, generosity, and misunderstanding. The pomegranate ('nar'), known for its abundance of seeds, symbolizes a person's inner beauty and the wealth of what they have to offer, which is often not recognized by others. The act of remaining silent and then leaving without looking back ('Sustun sustun konuşmadın, sonra kaçtın arkana bakmadan') suggests a breaking point where the individual can no longer bear the weight of unappreciated gifts and chooses to retreat.
