100 En İyi Albüm

#55

Sanatçı/Grup: **Rihanna**

Albüm Adı: **Anti**

Çıkış Yılı: **2016**

Anti: Kuralları Yıkan Bir Başkaldırı ve İçsel Dönüşüm

2016 yılında dinleyiciyle buluşan bu albüm, bir sanatçının kendini yeniden tanımlama sürecinin en çıplak halidir. **Anti**, popüler kültürün beklentilerini reddeden, karanlık, ham ve tavizsiz bir duruşun dışa vurumudur. Albüm, şöhretin getirdiği karmaşadan sıyrılmaya çalışan bir ruhun, kendi özgürlüğünü ve sınırlarını keşfetme yolculuğunu anlatır.

### [Consideration]

* **Ana Tema:** Özerklik ve Kişisel Sınırlar.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Albümün açılış parçası, sanatçının kendi kurallarıyla hareket etme kararlılığını simgeler. Dış dünyadan gelen beklentileri reddeden, "kendi yolunda gitme" isteğini vurgulayan güçlü bir manifestodur. Sözlerdeki "kendi yolumda ilerlemeliyim" vurgusu, sanatçının üzerinde hissettiği baskılara karşı geliştirdiği savunma mekanizmasını gözler önüne serer.

### [James Joint]

* **Ana Tema:** Kaçış ve Anlık Hazlar.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Bu kısa ama vurucu parça, gerçeklikten kopuşu ve sadece ana odaklanmayı anlatır. Kuralların önemini yitirdiği, sadece sevgi ve anlık hislerin ön plana çıktığı bir sığınak yaratır.

### [Kiss It Better]

* **Ana Tema:** Toksik Bir Çekim ve Tutku.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Acı verici bir ilişki döngüsünü konu alan şarkı, mantığın duygulara yenik düştüğü anları işler. "Acı verse de vazgeçememek" temasını, tutkuyla harmanlayarak dinleyiciye sunar. Yaraları iyileştirmesi gereken kişinin aslında yarayı açan kişi olması, parçanın en trajik ve gerçekçi yanıdır.

### [Work]

* **Ana Tema:** Emek, Sadakat ve İletişim Çatışması.

* **Lirik Analizi:** İlişkilerde tarafların birbirine ne kadar çaba sarf ettiği üzerinden dönen bir tartışmadır. Bir tarafın ilişkiyi kurtarmak için gösterdiği "çalışma" azmi ile diğer tarafın kayıtsızlığı arasındaki çatışma, oldukça ritmik ve tekrara dayalı bir dille anlatılır.

### [Desperado]

* **Ana Tema:** Kaçış ve Yalnızlıkla Mücadele.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Mevcut hayattan ve içine düşülen boşluktan kurtulma arzusu işlenir. "Tek başına kalmak istememek" korkusu, iki insanın birlikte kaçma hayaliyle somutlaşır. Bir yere ait olamama hissi, parçanın atmosferine derin bir hüzün katar.

### [Woo]

* **Ana Tema:** İntikam ve Arzunun Karmaşıklığı.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Eski sevgiliye karşı hissedilen karmaşık duyguları, zaman zaman öfke ve arzuyla birleştirir. "Seni artık önemsemiyorum ama hala sana dair izler taşıyorum" paradoksu, şarkının temelini oluşturur.

### [Needed Me]

* **Ana Tema:** Güç Dengesi ve Özsaygı.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Bir ilişkideki güç dengelerinin nasıl değiştiğini anlatan, oldukça özgüvenli bir parça. Karşısındaki kişinin aslında kendisine olan ihtiyacını bir yüzleşme gibi ortaya koyar. "Savage" (vahşi/acımadan) tavırla, kendi değerinin farkında olan bir figür çizilir.

### [Yeah, I Said It]

* **Ana Tema:** Arzunun Açık Sözlülüğü.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Sosyal beklentilere kulak tıkayan, oldukça cesur ve doğrudan bir ifade biçimidir. İlişkilerde etiketlerin veya kuralların anlamsızlığını savunan, sadece bedensel ve duygusal çekimin ön planda olduğu bir özgürlük anlatısıdır.

### [Same Ol' Mistakes]

* **Ana Tema:** Değişim İsteği ve Tekerrür Eden Hatalar.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Yeni bir hayata başlama arzusu ile eski alışkanlıkların çekim alanı arasındaki içsel savaşı yansıtır. "Yenilenmiş hissetmek" ile "aynı hataları yapmaya devam etmek" arasındaki döngü, insanın kendini değiştirme sürecindeki zorlukları gözler önüne serer.

### [Never Ending]

* **Ana Tema:** Duygusal Uyuşma ve Boşluk Hissi.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Kişinin kendi benliğinden kopuşunu ve bir aynadaki hayalet gibi hissetmesini anlatır. İlişkilerin veya duygusal durumların bitmek bilmeyen o ağır yükünü, kendine has melankolisiyle yansıtır.

### [Love On The Brain]

* **Ana Tema:** Bağımlılık Yaratan Bir Aşkın Yıkıcılığı.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Aşkın hem bir şifa hem de bir zehir olabileceğini işleyen en çarpıcı parçadır. "Beyinde oluşan bir aşk" metaforu, mantıklı kararlar veremeyecek kadar tutkuya gömülmüş bir kalbi tasvir eder.

### [Higher]

* **Ana Tema:** Savunmasızlık ve Cesaret.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Alkolün etkisiyle açığa çıkan samimi itirafları barındırır. Sevilen kişiye ulaşma arzusu ve bu uğurda gururu kenara itme teması, şarkının duygusal yoğunluğunu belirler.

### [Close To You]

* **Ana Tema:** Koruma İçgüdüsü ve Ulaşılamazlık.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Uzaktan izlenen bir ilişkinin hüznünü anlatır. Karşısındakinin canı yanmasın diye ona yakın olma isteği, çaresiz ama sadık bir sevginin en saf halidir.

### [Goodnight Gotham]

* **Ana Tema:** Geçici Mutluluklar.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Sadece tek bir gecelik yaşanan anların kıymetini ve bu anların hafızada bıraktığı etkiyi yansıtan, neredeyse meditatif bir tınıya sahip bir geçiş parçasıdır.

### [Pose]

* **Ana Tema:** Başarı, Güç ve Meydan Okuma.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Maddi başarıyı ve otoriteyi temsil eden, dinleyiciye dik durmasını söyleyen bir özgüven marşıdır. "Pose" kelimesi burada bir fotoğraf karesine hapsolmaktan ziyade, hayata karşı alınan kararlı duruşu temsil eder.

### [Sex With Me]

* **Ana Tema:** Kendine Güven ve Bireysellik.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Kendi bedenine ve zevkine hakim olan bir kadının, bu durumu bir güç unsuru olarak sunmasıdır. İlişkideki deneyimi tamamen kendi kontrolü altında tutan ve bundan ödün vermeyen bir tavrı sergiler.

Rihanna - "Anti" Albüm Şarkı Sözleri (2016)

"Consideration"

(feat. SZA)

I came fluttering in from Neverland

Time can never stop me, no, no, no, no

I know you've tried to

I came riding in on a pale white horse

Handing out highs to less fortunate

I do advise you

Run it back, run it on back

When you breaking it down for me

Cause I can't hear you, two times

Run it on back, will it ever make sense to me?

I got to do things my own way darling

Will you ever let me

Will you ever respect me? No

Do things my own way darling

You should just let me

Why you ain't ever let me grow?

When I look outside my window

I can't get no piece of mind

When I look outside my window

I can't get no peace of mind

Let me cover your shit in glitter

I could make it gold, gold

Heard you tryna sell your soul, baby

Word on the street, you run it low lately

I needed you to please give my reflection a break

From the face it's seeing now

Ooh darling, gahhlee

Would you mind giving my reflection a break

From the pain it's feeling now?

I got to do things my own way darling

You should just let me

Will you ever respect me? No

Do things my own way darling

You should just let me

Why you ain't ever let me grow?

When I look outside my window

I can't get no piece of mind

When I look outside my window

I can't get no peace of mind

Get no piece

Get no peace

Get, get, getting no peace

Can't get no peace

(Get, g-g-get no peace oh)

Feeling jaded, huh?

Used to trip off that shit I was kicking to you

Had some fun on the run though I'll give it to you

But baby, don't get it twisted

Tryna fix your inner issues with a bad bitch

Didn't they tell you that I was a savage?

Fuck ya white horse and ya carriage

Never told you you could have it

You needed me

Ooh, you needed me

To feel a little more, and give a little less

Know you hate to confess

"Same Ol' Mistakes"

I can just hear them now

"How could you let us down?"

But they don't know what I found

Or see it from this way around

Feeling it overtake

All that I used to hate

Worried 'bout every trait

I tried but it's way too late

All the signs I don't read

Two sides of me can't agree

When I breathe in too deep

Going with what I always longed for

Feel like a brand new person

(But you make the same old mistakes)

Well, I don't care I'm in love

(Stop before it's too late)

Feel like a brand new person

(But you make the same old mistakes)

I finally know what it's like

(You don't have what it takes)

(Stop before it's not too late)

(I know there's too much at stake)

(Making the same mistakes)

And I still don't know why it's happening

(Stop while it's not too late)

And I still don't know

Finally taking flight

I know you don't think it's right

I know that you think it's fake

Maybe fake's what I like

Point is I have the right

Not thinking in black and white

I'm thinking it's worth the fight

Soon to be out of sight

Knowing it all this time

Going with what I always longed for

Feel like a brand new person

(But you make the same old mistakes)

I don't care I'm in love

(Stop before it's too late)

Feel like a brand new person

(But you make the same old mistakes)

So how do I know that it's right?

(You don't have what it takes)

(Stop before it's not too late)

And I know that it's hard to digest

But maybe your story ain't so different from the rest

And I know it seems wrong to accept

But you've got your demons, and she's got her regrets

And I know that it's hard to digest

A realization is as good as it gets

And I know it seems wrong to accept

But you've got your demons, and she's got her regrets

Feel like a brand new person

So, how will I know that it's right?

In a new direction

So, how will I know I've gone too far?

(Stop thinking you're the only option, oh)

Feel like a brand new person

(But you make the same old mistakes)

I finally know what it's like

(Stop before it's too late)

So how will I know I've gone too far?

(You don't have what it takes)

Feel like a brand new person

"Never Ending"

Ghost in the mirror

I knew your face once, but now it's unclear

And I can't feel my body now

I separate from here and now

A drug and a dream

A lost connection, oh, come back to me

So I can feel alive again

As soul and body try to mend

It's pulling me apart, this time

Everything is never-ending

I slipped into a parallel

They'll never understand

This feeling always gets away

Wishing I could hold on longer

Why does it have to feel so strange

To be in love again, be in love again, be in love again?

So pardon if I'm impolite

And I know I could be more creative

And come up with poetic lines

But I'm turned up upstairs and I love you

Is the only thing that's in my mind

You take me higher

Higher than I've ever been, babe

Just come over, let's pour a drink, babe

I hope I ain't calling you too late

Too late

You light my fire

Let's stay up late and smoke a jay

I wanna go back to the old way

But I'm drunk instead with a full ashtray

"Close To You"

Nothing but a tear, that's all for breakfast

Watching you pretend you're unaffected

You're pulling our connections, expecting me to let you go

But I won't

I know you don't need my protection

But I'm in love, can't blame me for checking

I love in your direction, hoping that the message goes

Somewhere close to you

Close to you

Like so close if they hurt you, you wouldn't find out

Just say now, I'm coming right now to be close to you

Said you let it go, you kept it

Working hard to perfect it

But now your fear is reckless, and it's out of your control

Well just let it go

I know you don't need my protection

But I'm in love, can't blame me for checking

I love in your direction, hoping that the message goes

Somewhere close to you

Close to you

Like so close, if they hurt you, you wouldn't find out

If you let me, I'd be there by now

Close to you
