Zulüm translates to 'cruelty' or 'oppression'. It's a strong and evocative word that carries significant emotional weight, often used to describe severe injustice or harsh treatment.
In the song, the artist pleads, "Böyle yapma, gülüm, etme zulüm bize" (Don't do this, my rose, don't inflict cruelty upon us). Here, 'zulüm' is used metaphorically to express the pain and suffering caused by a loved one's actions, highlighting the depth of emotional distress rather than physical oppression. It's a powerful word that makes the listener feel the intensity of the artist's plea.
BLOK3's "Kayıp Kalp" (Lost Heart) is a really honest and intense look at a breakup where one person just can't let go. He's clearly been through it, saying, "Bitti benim sabrım" [My patience is over]. Even though he's hurting, there's a part of him that still wants to chase after this person, admitting, "Kaçasın olsa kovalardım seni" [If you ran away, I'd chase you].
It's all about that struggle of trying to move on but being stuck in the past. He remembers the good times, saying, "Eskiyi hatırlayıp daldım o geçmişe" [Remembering the old times, I dove into that past], and it's clear he's dealing with the pain, even mentioning, "Bu gece de içmişim kim bilir kaç şişe" [Tonight I've drunk who knows how many bottles]. Despite everything, he can't forget them, confessing, "Unutamadım seni, affedersin" [I couldn't forget you, I'm sorry]. He even calls them a "Başıma belasın, sen ne işe yararsın?" [You're trouble for me, what good are you?], but then immediately follows it with a resigned, "Ama geliyo'sa o da senden gelsin" [But if it's coming, let it come from you]. It's a powerful picture of a heart that's lost and still longing.
