Genius English Translations
Barış Yüksekkaya - Arkama Bakmadan (English Translation)
[Intro]
I don't know where I've been
And I don't know where I'm going
All I know is I'll be fine
[Verse 1]
I'm walking on the street in the middle of the night, looking for the truth
I have a pen and paper in my hand, I'll be writing everything
All my truth and dreams shattered in my hands
All I have are my lyrics, this is my everything
Sometimes I look up to the sky and say "God, please hear me"
Even if the world inside me shatters, I won't show you
People are sick of this me, they keep saying "Comе back"
Forget the world you're in, wеlcome to my brain
Well, tell me, how many times should Barış pour his heart out?
How many times should this pen die on this paper?
How many times should these burning candles be extinguished?
Tell me, how many times have you died in your room?
How many times have you seen all these lies?
How many times did you bury yourself to the rock bottom?
How many times have you split your life in two?
Look back and ask, is this really your life? (No)
You saw rock bottom at 17
You died at the beginning of the story
Who should come and solve your problem when you can't even do it yourself?
Why are you awake at 4 in the morning again?
All your love died in your hands
You gave your freedom away again and
They won't see you die
[Chorus]
Words inside me, can't be said out loud
I carry these loads on my back, it doesn't matter
I'll go forward without looking back
Without looking back
Without looking back
Without looking back
[Verse 2]
I am the brightness of the sunshine that enters your room every morning
You don't sleep at night, you are in my dreams, but you don't know it (You on my mind)
Volume of my headphones is maxed out, but all I hear is your voice
In reality, you are with someone else, but in my dreams, you are with me (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Sometimes I look at the sky and say "God, please see me"
There is no hope in me or anything, perfect time to die (I wish you killed me)
I got lost inside myself and my eyes are closed
All the evenings I died, I let it all go
What about the feeling of swallowing these pills that I'm so used to?
How many more therapists do I have to see?
I know that life is a race, but have many times do I have to finish my lap?
How many times has the world collapsed on me?
Even though there was no reason, I kept smiling for nothing
As I move forward with all my strength
When the moon mixes with the sky (No)
I died inside my "If only's"
I saw the emptiness in my eyes
I spinned around for months and died in your hands once again
My life has seen it all
My heart couldn't handle all the things that had happened
So, when I lost everything
Did my story really come to an end?
[Chorus]
Words inside me, can't be said out loud
I carry these loads on my back, it doesn't matter
I'll go forward without looking back
Without looking back
Without looking back
Without looking back
[Outro]
I don't know where I've been
And I don't know where I'm going
All I know is I'll be fine
