Geçmiyor Günler

Özcan Deniz's song 'Geçmiyor Günler' is a poignant exploration of longing and the passage of time in the face of heartache. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is deeply affected by the memories of a past relationship. The opening lines, 'Her sözün aklımda senden hatıra / İçimde bir şeyler can çekişiyor,' suggest that every word from the past lover lingers in the protagonist's mind, causing an internal struggle. This sets the tone for a song that delves into the emotional turmoil of waiting and the pain of unfulfilled expectations.

The metaphor of 'Baharý beklerken gülüm soluyor' (While waiting for spring, my rose is withering) is particularly striking. It symbolizes the protagonist's hope for renewal and happiness, which is slowly fading away as time passes without any sign of the loved one. The imagery of 'Yüreğim ardından düştü yollara / Kayboldum zifiri karanlıklarda' (My heart fell on the roads after you / I got lost in pitch darkness) further emphasizes the sense of despair and disorientation that comes with waiting in vain.

The chorus, 'Geçmiyor günler yar yar yar / Geçmiyor günler / Ya sesini duyur bana / Ya haber gönder,' is a desperate plea for some form of communication or sign from the loved one. The repetition of 'Geçmiyor günler' (Days are not passing) underscores the protagonist's feeling of being stuck in time, unable to move forward. The final lines, 'Böylesi yıkılmaz / Böyle yanmazdım / Unutur seni giderdim / Vurmasa dünler,' reflect a sense of resignation and the realization that the past continues to haunt them, making it impossible to forget and move on.

Özcan Deniz, known for his emotive voice and heartfelt lyrics, captures the essence of longing and the painful passage of time in 'Geçmiyor Günler.' The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the agony of waiting and the struggle to let go of the past.
