Dursun Zaman

Manga's song 'Dursun Zaman' delves into the ephemeral nature of time and the inevitable end of relationships. The lyrics paint a poignant picture of loss and the passage of time, starting with the imagery of a morning sun that fails to rise, symbolizing the end of a once bright and hopeful period. The hands that once held each other have now become distant, likened to a star that has faded away. This metaphor highlights the sudden and irreversible nature of the separation, emphasizing the emotional impact of losing someone dear.

The song continues to explore the emotional aftermath of this loss. The eyes that once sparkled with joy are now filled with tears, and the singer urges the listener not to cry, as the person they mourn is no longer there to hear them. The phrase 'Bir varmış, bir yok oldu' (Once there, now gone) encapsulates the transient nature of existence and relationships. The departure of the loved one has turned all colors to black, symbolizing a world devoid of joy and vibrancy. Yet, there is a hint of solace as the singer suggests that perhaps the departed has found peace.

The chorus of the song brings a sense of resignation and acceptance. The plea for time to stop reflects a desire to hold onto moments that are slipping away, but the acknowledgment that life is not a game underscores the inevitability of change and endings. The singer encourages understanding that there is an end, even if one refuses to believe it. The repeated call to not wake up to the years, despite the stubbornness to hold onto the past, suggests a struggle between accepting reality and clinging to memories. 'Dursun Zaman' is a heartfelt exploration of love, loss, and the relentless march of time, resonating deeply with anyone who has experienced the pain of saying goodbye.
