Zertan Ari Gara

Zetak's song 'Zertan Ari Gara' is a poignant reflection on conflict and the loss of unity within a community. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a once harmonious place, now marred by violence and division. The opening lines describe a bar overflowing with blood, symbolizing the deep-seated animosity that has taken root. The mention of former comrades now being enemies highlights the tragic transformation of relationships, suggesting a civil strife or internal conflict that has torn the community apart.

The recurring question, 'Zertan ari gara, aita?' (What are we doing, father?), serves as a desperate plea for understanding and reconciliation. The imagery of people kicking each other and the fear of drowning in blood underscores the senselessness and destructiveness of the conflict. This metaphor of drowning in blood is particularly powerful, evoking a sense of overwhelming despair and the urgent need for change.

The song also touches on the haunting memories of better times, as seen in the photographs on the walls, now stained with blood. The transformation of wine into blood and the extinguishing of lights symbolize the loss of joy and hope. Zetak uses these metaphors to emphasize the gravity of the situation and the dire consequences if the community continues on this path. Through 'Zertan Ari Gara,' Zetak calls for introspection and a return to unity, urging listeners to recognize the futility of their actions and the importance of coming together to heal and rebuild.
