Korkuyorum

Harun Kolçak's song 'Korkuyorum' delves into the complex emotions of fear and vulnerability that accompany falling in love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is experiencing a resurgence of romantic feelings, but is simultaneously overwhelmed by the fear of getting hurt. The song opens with the imagery of the sun rising differently and nights becoming more intense, suggesting a shift in the protagonist's emotional landscape. This change is unsettling, making them feel as defenseless as a child.

The recurring theme of fear is emphasized through the repetition of the word 'korkuyorum' (I am afraid). The protagonist's heart, described as a desert, is suddenly being nourished by rain, symbolizing the unexpected arrival of love. However, this love also brings a sense of unease, as the protagonist feels the winds of change blowing through their lonely heart. The lyrics question whether they are falling in love again, highlighting the internal conflict between the desire for connection and the fear of vulnerability.

Kolçak's plea to a higher power to be saved from these feelings underscores the depth of his fear. He acknowledges the burning sensation within him, indicating a powerful attraction to someone, yet he begs to be spared from falling in love. This paradoxical desire to avoid love despite its allure speaks to the universal human experience of fearing emotional pain. The song captures the essence of this internal struggle, making it relatable to anyone who has ever been afraid to open their heart again.
