Lyrics: Without even looking back, is this your umpteenth departure? I openly accept every aspect of you. The verdict I wear is longing, My sentence is a life sentence, the perpetrator is you. In the phone book that I cleanse, Is it a brand new life that I've been waiting for? The streets of Asmalı are as narrow as my heart, Where I lost myself. No, no, no, those are not my tears, In your absence, my dreams are learning to swim. No, no, no, those are not my tears, The dirt on my hands is both inside and out. Those are not my tears. "Gözyaşlarım Değil Onlar" by Gripin is a heartfelt song about loss and moving on. The lyrics express the narrator's longing and acceptance of someone who has repeatedly left them without looking back. The lyrics also hint at the hope for a new beginning, symbolized by a brand new life. The narrow streets of Asmalı serve as a metaphor for the narrator's constricted heart due to the pain and confusion of the situation. The chorus emphasizes that the tears shed are not a result of sadness but rather a reflection of the narrator's growth and resilience. Despite the pain, the narrator's dreams continue to thrive and adapt in the absence of the person they long for. Overall, the song captures the bittersweet emotions associated with loss and the journey towards moving on.
