"Strike" by Afra traces a quiet disappearance after betrayal, where staying silent feels less like defeat than a chosen wound. The world sits close yet offers no comfort, and healing remains impossibly distant while a fragile, almost manic joy takes root inside. Trust lies riddled with holes, and the repeated invitation to strike becomes a dare born from having nothing left to lose. Love, once innocence is damaged, turns into a road with no return, leaving only the stubborn, swaying walk toward forgetting.
Strike Lyrics by Afra
Sessiz sedasız kayboldum civardan
Ne memnun kaldım ne şikayet ettim cihandan
Dünya kucağımda ben dünyanın bucağında
Kal göz uçlarımda sallanır dileklerim
Çünkü ben öyle istedim yine yara olacağına
Sen gittikçe ben de salına salına
Yürüdüm inatla bana en yakın deva
Benden dünyalar kadar uzakta
Bir neşe doğurdum içimde deliliğe yakın
Ama alışıyorum
Kaybedecek hiçbir şeyim yok bu halimle
Ben de yeni tanışıyorum
Hedef oldum unutmak uğruna
Sen şahit olmadın bu ara
Vur vur vur vur
Dünden hazırım tüm kurşunlara
İhanetin açık seçikti
Güven duygum delik deşikti
Sor sor sor sor
Kaç kere vurdun başımı duvarlara
Şimdi nerde talan olur ah emeklerin filize
Böler uykumu toprak içten ölünce bir de
Benden hangi rüyayı sığdıramadın cebine
Göğe tersten baktığın ah o gece
Gökyüzüne altına devirince ben
O küçük dağlarıda sen yarattın sandın
Ben hissederim aşk masumiyetten yana bir kez zedelenince
Geri dönülmez bir yol olur artık
Sen gittikçe ben de salına salına
Yürüdüm inatla bana en yakın deva
Benden dünyalar kadar uzakta
Bir neşe doğurdum içimde deliliğe yakın
Ama alışıyorum
Kaybedecek hiçbir şeyim yok bu halimle
Ben de yeni tanışıyorum
Hedef oldum unutmak uğruna
Sen şahit olmadın bu ara
Vur vur vur vur
Dünden hazırım tüm kurşunlara
İhanetin açık seçikti
Güven duygum delik deşikti
Sor sor sor sor
Kaç kere vurdun başımı duvarlara
(English Lyrics)
Quietly
I disappeared from the vicinity
I was neither pleased
Nor did I complain about the world
The world is in my embrace, I am in the corner of the world
Stay, my wishes dangle in the corners of my eyes
Because that’s what I wanted, even if it becomes a wound again
As you left, I walked stubbornly, swaying
The closest cure to me is worlds away
I gave birth to a joy within me, close to madness
But I’m getting used to it
I have nothing to lose with this state
I’m also getting acquainted with it anew
I became a target for the sake of forgetting
You didn’t witness these things
Hit, hit, hit
I’m ready for all the bullets from yesterday
Your betrayal was clear and obvious
My trust was riddled with holes
Ask, ask, ask, ask
How many times did I bang my head against the walls
Now where will the sprout of my efforts be plundered?
The earth breaks my sleep
And when I die from within
Which dream couldn’t you fit with me? Into your pocket
That night you looked at the sky upside down
When I turned the sky upside down
You thought you created those little mountains too
I feel it when love is once damaged from innocence
That’s a road of no return now
As you went on, I stubbornly walked on, swaying
The closest cure to me is worlds away
I gave birth to a joy inside me, close to madness
But I’m getting used to it, I have nothing to lose with this state
I’m also getting acquainted with it anew
I became a target for the sake of forgetting
You didn’t witness these things
Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot
I’m ready for all the bullets from yesterday
Your betrayal was clear and obvious
My trust was riddled with holes
Ask, ask, ask, ask
How many times did I bang my head against the walls
