Zakhm
Sattar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
عمر یه لحظه کوتاه
عمر کوتاه یه لبخند
فرصت یک نفس و آه
اگه صد سال تو را داشتم
برام انگار یه نفس بود
با تو آسمونُ داشتم
اگه خونهم یه قفس بود
معنی یه لحظه میداد
لحظه عبور یک تیر
بودنت شروع یه زخم
از عبور لحظه ها بود
زخم دوست داشتنی من
واسه مرگ بی صدا بود
حس از دست دادن تو
حس از دست رفتنم بود
لحظه سوزش این زخم
سردی مرگ تو تنم بود
وقت خوب داشتن تو
هر چی بود زیاد یا کم بود
عمر من بود که تموم شد
یه نفس بود یه دم بود
عمر من از تو تموم شد
یه نفس بود و یه دم بود
یه نفس بود و یه دم بود
یه نفس ...
The song "Zakhm" by Sattar portrays the pain and agony of losing a loved one. It begins with the artist introspecting about the shortness of life and how he wishes he had more time with his loved one. He talks about how even if he had a hundred years with his loved one, it would feel like just a moment. He compares being with his loved one to having the sky and without them, life would feel like a cage.
The chorus mainly talks about how being with his loved one was the beginning of a wound that was caused by the swift passage of time. He says that every moment spent with them was like an arrow passing through him, and how their loss felt like he was dying a silent death. The pain of losing them was felt deep within his bones, and the good times spent with them were not enough as his life came to an end in just a breath. The song ends with him reiterating that his life ended with just one breath or a moment.
Overall, "Zakhm" is a powerful song that captures the essence of grief and mourning. The artist's pain is palpable throughout the song, and it showcases the sadness that comes with losing a loved one.
