ZATAK – ذاتك Lyrics Meaning

[المقطع الأول]
He’s talking about how strong people don’t complain about burdens as long as they have the strength to carry them. If life felt too light, it’s probably because they never had to carry anything heavy in the first place. Many people talk, but few really see the truth. When a kid says he’s scared, he doesn’t deny it—he says fear makes sense. Luck can’t be trusted, and when we repeat mistakes, we don’t always pay the same price. Some people are still waiting for their share in life, while others already took theirs early—and some even got more than they deserved, but time will eventually balance it out. You can’t calculate life with paper and pen. Everyone’s pain is different, even if the situation looks the same. The world is wild, and people are either wolves or sheep. He feels old, like he’s lived a thousand years, and life keeps playing games with him—so he responds with words, not fake confidence.

[اللازمة]
Make peace with yourself. You’re not too late. Forgive yourself, even if your choices caused your pain.

[المقطع الثاني]
He talks about how people who are broken inside often try to bring others down with them. When everyone is lost, no one seems to notice, and if nobody’s happy, then suffering becomes invisible. Some people could ask for help, but their darkness blinds them. They treat everyone like tools—even those who truly loved them. Still, every monster has a weakness, and over time, nothing stays hidden. People don’t change unless they really want to. The worst thing isn’t being ignored—it’s calling out for help and getting silence. You might get stepped on, and standing tall is tough when you’re surrounded by pressure. Some people are emotionally locked up. He warns against being too stubborn. Trying too hard often makes you feel less. Even your conscience needs boundaries sometimes. Not every door should be opened, because even those who once understood may lose their way. He once believed he’d change the world, but now admits the world changed him.

[اللازمة]
Make peace with yourself. You’re not too late. Forgive yourself, even if your choices caused your pain.

[المقطع الثالث]
Sometimes, even the best people get lost in the crowd, and we lose touch with them, even when there was no fight or reason. That’s just how life is—strange and unpredictable. Sometimes we ruin things, then act innocent, and sometimes doing the right thing brings harsh consequences. But still, everything seems to be connected, even if we can’t see the link. He advises not to hurt yourself chasing material things—they don’t bring comfort. People are moving fast, but speed doesn’t mean safety, and being slower doesn’t mean you’re falling behind. He says to choose your path wisely, because sometimes what’s called “middle ground” is still way off track. People only feed themselves no matter how much they gain. Every action has a meaning, even if it’s not obvious. If you’re a good person surrounded by bad ones, you’re in the wrong place. Real life isn’t like acting in a movie—there’s always something bigger watching us. Sometimes, even losing is secretly a win. Don’t get blinded by flashy lights.

[اللازمة]
Make peace with yourself. You’re not too late. Forgive yourself, even if your choices caused your pain.

[جسر]
He lives with both more and less, always finding a way through. He believes balance never really breaks. When the sun sets, the moon rises—and that’s no accident. Even when lost without signs, his heart still guides him.

[المقطع الرابع]
He reflects on how some people don’t even realize they’re blind to reality. They answer deep questions with shallow responses. Some think destiny is a lie made up by scared minds trying to make sense of life’s randomness. He admits that he also once got stuck in pointless arguments and excuses, thinking that’s what it takes to understand the truth—but it just led to dead ends. There’s always disagreement because no proof can make one opinion completely right or another completely wrong. That’s what faith is about—believing even when the world has limits. If it were something provable, it wouldn’t be called faith. He wonders why we imagine infinity even though we live in a limited world. Why do we fear death and dream of living forever? Why does it sometimes feel like the sky is speaking? Why do we feel strength in pain? He says real light isn’t in the brain—it lives in the heart, no matter how much we learn.

[اللازمة]
Make peace with yourself. You’re not too late. Forgive yourself, even if your choices caused your pain.

[المقطع الخامس]
He’s thankful for the people who helped him trust again after others caused deep emotional damage. Some relationships were draining, even destructive, and the worst part was—they didn’t even know it. Like a bull crashing through hallways, they ruined things just by being themselves. He’s grateful for the signs that guided people back when they were about to lose their way. Once they returned, they realized life isn’t about being alone—we’re not just animals, and nothing in life stays the same. He thanks the simple-hearted people who helped without drama or showing off, just because their hearts were full of faith and kindness. They lifted the blindfold from his eyes without asking for anything in return. He admires how they stayed grounded, didn’t chase pleasure too hard, and worked on bettering themselves. Most of all, he’s thankful they lived their lives without stepping over others to get ahead.

[اللازمة]
Make peace with yourself. You’re not too late. Forgive yourself, even if your choices caused your pain.
