System

Sevdaliza's song 'System' delves into the emotional turmoil and liberation that comes with ending a toxic relationship. The repetitive nature of the lyrics emphasizes the finality and resoluteness of the decision to move on. The phrase 'I'm done, it's gone' signifies a definitive end, while 'You're dead to me, we're done' underscores the emotional severance from the past relationship. This repetition serves to reinforce the singer's determination to break free from the emotional chains that once bound her.

The line 'And I'm too sensitive to be your pedestal' reveals a deeper layer of vulnerability and self-awareness. Sevdaliza acknowledges her sensitivity and refuses to be placed on a pedestal, a position that often comes with unrealistic expectations and emotional burdens. This line speaks to the importance of self-respect and the recognition that one should not have to compromise their emotional well-being for the sake of another's idealization.

Despite the pain and finality, there is a sense of bittersweet nostalgia in the lyrics 'I'll always remember the pearls in your eyes' and 'you made me feel alive.' These lines suggest that while the relationship had its moments of beauty and vitality, it ultimately was not sustainable. The 'pearls in your eyes' metaphorically represent precious memories that, although cherished, are now part of the past. Sevdaliza's 'System' is a poignant exploration of the complexities of love, loss, and the journey towards self-empowerment.
