Serdar Ortaç Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tenhada aşkı bölüşürüz
Biraz senden, biraz benden
Kalanlardan bölüşürüz
Kalbim adalet peşinde
Hem işimde gücünde
Kendi çakrasında
Her aşkın başında kendi gözyaşımda
Yar aynada güvendiğin ne?
Melek misin, gümüş söğüt dalı mı?
Güzelliğin tükendiğinde,
O gözlerin beni unutmamalı...
The lyrics to Serdar Ortaç's song Çakra express the emotions of someone who is searching for love and justice. The first stanza talks about how the two lovers share their love in solitude, with each of them giving some and taking some. The second stanza mentions how the singer is searching for justice, both in their work and in their heart. They are in search of their own conscience and looking for answers to the questions that arise at every stage of love. The third stanza is about someone questioning their lover's inner beauty, whether they are trustworthy or not. The singer believes that even when the lover's outer beauty fades away, their inner beauty should remain unchanged, and they should always remember the singer.
Through these lyrics, the artist conveys the message that love and justice are intertwined and that one cannot exist without the other. The singer is not only searching for a soulmate but also someone who is just and honest. The concept of Çakra, which is the main theme of the song, refers to the seven centers of spiritual power within the body, which help to bring balance and harmony to the mind, body and soul. The singer is in search of their own Çakra, and this quest for spiritual enlightenment is what gives the song its depth and meaning.
