Bulutsuzluk Özlemi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Metro çıkışında
Gülüverdin bana
Kalabalık arasında
Ben inerken aşağı
Sen çıkıyordun oysa
Ah...
Seni benden saklar
Zaman akıp giderken
Çizgiler çizer
Bazen teğet geçen
Bazen kesişen
Hayat seni düşündürür
Alıştıramaz kendine
Ah...
Kalabalıklar
Seni benden saklar...
The lyrics of Bulutsuzluk Özlemi's song "Metro" describes a moment of unexpected encounter between two people in a busy metro station. The singer narrates that he once ran into the addressee of his message at the exit of the metro. She gave him a smile amid the crowd while he was going down as she was going up. The singer reflects on how the passage of time leaves deep marks in people's lives as he watches lines being drawn, crossing, and intersecting. He muses that life has a way of making one ponder and question, but we can never become accustomed to the concept of life itself. Meanwhile, the hustle and bustle of the metro station hides you from me, the singer intimates, in a world where interaction and connection are often fleeting.
The song's short and simple lyrics convey a sense of nostalgia, lost chances, and thoughts of what could have been. It touches on themes such as life's unpredictability, the fleeting nature of human interactions, and the effects of time on our lives. The use of second-person narration adds a note of intimacy and personal touch, as if the singer is singing to someone he once longed for.

Nejat abinin bence en sağlam işlerinden biridir bu şarkı.. Kalabalıkta yanlız insanı kişide modernitenin serencamını kısaca özetlemiş.. Hem de iki akorla! Hakikaten usta işi! Kısa öz sade minimal ve çok estetik.. Çok yaşa Nejat abi!
