Zamanın Yükü
Bosphoroots Lyrics

The lyrics of "Zamanın Yükü" by Bosphoroots convey a deep sense of the weight and burden that time imposes on relationships. The opening lines depict the beauty and uniqueness of their connection, emphasizing that they are different from others but still in the same place. However, the truth they face is that time's burden is heavy, which suggests that the passing years have been challenging for them.

The following lines describe how they have nurtured their love and warmed each other's hearts through physical touch and emotional support. Witnessing the purest form of laughter in the other person brings a sense of joy and renewal. This experience is compared to the sunrise, signifying a new beginning and hope. They find solace in the fact that no one is to blame for the heaviness they feel, as they realize it must be the timely migration of birds.

The repetition of "Zamanın yükü ağırdı" (The burden of time was heavy) throughout the song emphasizes the weight of their experiences and the toll it has taken on their relationship. It reflects the feeling of being overwhelmed and the difficulty they face in navigating the challenges that time brings. The heaviness becomes a prominent theme, illustrating the struggle and hardship they have encountered together.

The lyrics also touch on the idea that the passage of time does not always bring resolution or closure. While they were once hopeful that their time together would be passing like the doves outside their window, they find themselves in the same place, day after day. Despite their understanding that they love each other, it is not always enough. The inability to touch each other as deeply and intimately as they did before brings a great deal of pain. This inability to connect on the same level they once did is described as a painful reality – "çok acı, çok acı" (so much pain, so much pain).

In the final lines, the repetition of "We did not do anything wrong to each other, just" reiterates their innocence and the fact that they did not intentionally harm or hurt one another. Their love and relationship have been affected solely by the unrelenting burden of time. The song concludes by emphasizing the heaviness of this burden, leaving the listener with a sense of longing, sadness, and perhaps a reflection on the inevitable challenges life presents in relationships.
