قصاص

آهنگ دیرِ گلولهها تو آسمون
فرهنگ بی رنگ کبوترها رو پشت بوم

از لای نرده ها
از پشت پرده ها
قافیه به قافیه

زیر وزن سطر ها
گل بازی ما برّهها

تو کرههای آب شده

آهنگ سرد مگسها دور ما
فرهنگ پیر تنهایی تا ابد

از لای نرده ها
از پشت پرده ها
قافیه به قافیه
زیر وزن سطر ها
گله های بی سر و ته
طومار آرزوهای مقتول

این هوای مسموم، مگه آسم گرفتم؟
کبوترهای قاتل رو مگه من کشتم؟
باید حرف داشت و باید کشت

بر پشت بوم پیر
مگسها رو کشت.

Overall Meaning

The song "Retribution" by King Raam featuring Tara Aghdashloo talks about the consequences of one's actions and seeking retribution for past wrongs. The opening lines describe a world where bullets fly in the sky, and a colorless culture is left behind. The next lines mention the fence and the curtain, and how each line rhymes with the previous one, underscoring the feeling of inevitability and the passage of time. The song continues with a reference to a flower game, implying that life is seen as a game but also that it is transient and fleeting.

The next verse describes a cold world, where flies surround the singer and an old, lonely culture prevails. The lines once again mention the fence and the curtain and continue with a rhyme under each line, giving a sense of monotony and hopelessness. The final lines mention the killer doves, and the singer questions whether they too have killed. The final lines express the need for justice and a need to stand up against one's oppressors.

Overall, "Retribution" can be interpreted as a song about taking responsibility for past actions, seeking justice, and standing up for oneself against those who have wronged them.
