The song "Aşk Nerden Nereye" by Gripin tells a story of a person who has lost faith in love and relationships. The lyrics express the feeling of not trusting anyone anymore and starting to tell lies as a defense mechanism to protect oneself from getting hurt. The protagonist gathers courage and sets aside their pride to confront someone directly, standing tall like a traditional Turkish folk dancer called "zeybek." It is their last attempt to salvage the relationship and find closure. The lyrics also mention the protagonist learning to read fortunes, possibly as a way to gain insight into their future and ultimately find a way to hold on to their loved one for the last time. There is a longing for peace and tranquility in the lyrics, imagining embracing someone's neck and smelling the serenity of the Aegean region. However, the concept of love is explored as a journey from left to right, with "ölüm" (death) being a four-letter word written from left to right, contrasted with "hayat" (life), an unspoken five-letter word. This hints at the complexities and uncertainties of love. The protagonist reflects that this is not the first time they have lost faith in others, and since they started telling lies, it feels like a new beginning. The lyrics also mention turning their face towards the "Körfez" (Gulf) like a "zeybek" again, implying a renewed determination to break down the walls of loneliness they have built. Overall, the song tells a tale of heartbreak, disillusionment, and the struggle to hold on to love. It portrays a complex journey of emotions and highlights the doubts and uncertainties that can arise in relationships.
