Gölge Çiçeği

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Değiştin bir yabancı mısın
Beni yine sarar mısın
Gölge çiçekleri gibi açar mısın
Dalgaları rüzgarlar öperken
O seher yelleri esmeden
İlk martılardan da önce ben
Günü yok, dünü yok, yeri yok
Nasıl da zor ona sevda hevesi
Düşü yok, sesi yok, izi yok
Nasılsa açamaz, gölge çiçeği
Yılların buğusu yüzümde
Bütün ümitlerim zincirde
Bir kapı daha kapanmadan
Gelebilsem ne olur, neden sorar mısın
Günü yok, dünü yok, yeri yok
Nasıl da zor ona sevda hevesi
Düşü yok, sesi yok, izi yok
Nasılsa açamaz, gölge çiçeği
Günü yok, dünü yok, yeri yok
Nasıl da zor ona sevda hevesi
Düşü yok, sesi yok, izi yok
Nasılsa açamaz, gölge çiçeği
The Turkish song "Gölge Çiçeği" by Reyhan Karaca portrays a sense of longing and desperation through the lyrics. The singer is searching for someone, asking if they are there should they come. The person being addressed seems to have changed and become a stranger, yet the singer hopes they would still embrace them, like the shadow flowers that bloom.
The second verse continues with the singer imagining themselves in a different place and time, asking if the person is there with them. There is a sense of urgency as they imagine being the first to witness the wind kiss the waves, and being the first to fly before the seagulls. Yet, there is uncertainty about whether this person would be there to witness these events with them.
In the final verse, the singer expresses their despair and hopelessness about their situation. They feel trapped, with their hopes and desires being chained up, and they long to escape through a door that has yet to shut. However, they know that even if they were to reach their desires, it would be like trying to bring a "shadow flower" to life.
Overall, "Gölge Çiçeği" is a poignant reflection on the pain and hopelessness of unrequited love. The lyrics eloquently capture the emotions that come with searching for someone who may no longer be the same or who may no longer feel the same way, and the frustration that comes with realizing that some things may never come to fruition.

Before another door closes
Gelebilsem ne olur, neden sorar mısın
If I could come, what would happen? Why do you ask?
