عروسک قصه ی من

که تلخ و گریه آوره
تو این سکوت قصه ای
شاید صدای آخره

The lyrics to Dariush's song Aroosak depict a story of heartbreak and lost love. The singer reminisces about their once beautiful and perfect relationship, symbolized by a paper palace and a silver-winged pigeon. They wonder where their partner's cradle and the money from their sun-drenched polka dots have gone. The singer is haunted by the memory of their love and the broken doll that represents their shattered heart. They grieve the soundless nature of their breakup and the bitter tears that come with each remembrance.
The song then takes a melancholic turn as the singer contemplates the possibility of an afterlife where their love story could continue, beyond the end of their physical existence. The lyrics suggest that even in death, the shadow of their love will follow them, like an everlasting companion. The singer then observes the happiness of other couples passing by, kissing under a blue bridge, while they are stuck in their own heartache. They question the whereabouts of the "blue moment" when their love was at its peak and when their future seemed so bright and filled with promise. Ultimately, Aroosak is a contemplative and sorrowful reflection on love, loss, and the lingering effects of heartbreak.
