Öyle Gariptir

In 'Öyle Gariptir,' Zeynep Alasca delves into the unpredictable and often bewildering nature of life. The song's title, which translates to 'So Strange,' sets the tone for a lyrical exploration of life's uncertainties. Alasca uses vivid metaphors to describe the twists and turns that one encounters, likening life to a series of hills and cliffs where the destination is never clear. This imagery captures the essence of human vulnerability, emphasizing that despite appearing strong, we are all just tiny grains of sand in the grand scheme of things, unable to wipe away our own tears.

The lyrics also touch on the theme of life's curiosity and its penchant for surprises. Alasca suggests that just when you think you've figured everything out, life has a way of turning everything you know upside down. This notion is encapsulated in the lines, 'Tamda sırrına erdiğini sandığında / Bildiğin ne varsa yalan aslında,' which translate to 'Just when you think you've understood its secret / Everything you know is actually a lie.' This reflects a universal truth about the human experience: the more we think we know, the more we realize how little we actually understand.

The song encourages listeners to let go of their fears and uncertainties, as indicated by the line 'Korktuğun ne varsa bırak arkanda,' meaning 'Leave behind whatever you fear.' This message is both liberating and comforting, suggesting that acceptance of life's unpredictability can lead to a more peaceful existence. The repetitive 'La lala la lala lalala la' at the end of the song adds a whimsical touch, reinforcing the idea that sometimes, the best way to deal with life's mysteries is to embrace them with a light heart.
