it is what it is

• bizdeki kullanımıyla; yapacak bir şey yok anlamına gelen ingilizce deyim
• (bkz: durum bu)
  (bkz: yapacak bir şey yok)
• şu sıralar bağımlısı olduğum lifehouse şarkısı.
• "yapacak bir şey yok" ya da daha da yerelleştirirsek "hayırlısı" gibi bir anlama gelen, amerikalıların şu aralar placeholder olarak gereğinden fazla ağızlarına sakız ettiği, kullanan kişiyi söyleyecek bir şeyi olmayan denyo bir birey gibi gösteren bomboş söz öbeği.

  then comes the sun ...
  then comes the sun ...
  
  i'm packing my stuff
  crying 'cause he's gone
  i'm not gonna see any of you there
  i'm gonna go so far
  i have to be faster
  maybe i'll get there before the pain
  won't leave anything
  won't take anything
  only a story to tell one day
  
  it can't be too hard
  i keep telling myself
  while the ground's missing
  what's coming after?
  
  it is what it is
  i just need to see you
  'n hold you
  'n cry with you
  'n be with you
  
  i was afraid of too many things
  but dying to prove i was strong enough
  to make my own way
  to make it myself
  to keep my head up
  be the one who helps
  but it's got me crying
  it's got me crawling
  i'm so grateful 'cause it's got me knowing
  it beats with my heart
  the love that we made
  shines through my eyes
  it's out of the maze
  
  then comes the sun ...
  
  it is what it is
  i just need to see you
  'n hold you
  'n cry with you
  'n be with you
  
  summer gone
  air getting colder
  i wished that i was one of those leaves
  carried by wind naturally dying
  never drank water
  never touched fire
  but it got me thinking
  it got me going
  can't be a leaf because i am woman ... i am woman
  
  it is what it is
  i just need to see you
  'n hold you
  'n cry with you
  'n be with you
  
  then comes the sun ...
  then comes the sun ...

  it is what it is
  i was only looking for a shortcut home
  but it's complicated
  so complicated
  somewhere in this city is a road i know
  where we could make it
  but maybe there's no making it now
  
  too long we've been denying
  now we're both tired of trying
  we hit a wall and we can't get over it
  nothing to relive
  it's water under the bridge
  you said it, i get it
  i guess it is what it is
  
  i was only trying to bury the pain
  but i made you cry and i can't stop the crying
  was only trying to save me
  but i lost you again
  now there's only lying
  wish i could say it's only me
  
  too long we've been denying
  now we're both tired of trying
  we hit a wall and we can't get over it
  nothing to relive
  it's water under the bridge
  you said it, i get it
  i guess it is what it is
  
  here it comes ready or not
  we both found out it's not how we thought
  that it would be, how it would be
  if the time could turn us around
  what once was lost may be found
  for you and me, for you and me
  
  too long we've been denying
  now we're both tired of trying
  we hit a wall and we can't get over it
  nothing to relive
  it's water under the bridge
  you said it, i get it
  i guess it is what it is
  
  i was only looking for a shortcut home
  but it's complicated
  so complicated
• ıng. durum böyleyken boyle.
• (bkz: the irishman) filminde 'bıçak kemiğe dayandı' şeklinde çevirilen ama biraz yavan kalan kritik repliklerden biri. keşke fonetik olarak da karşılayacak şekilde 'yapılması gereken yapılacak', 'olması gereken olacak' gibi çevrilseydi.
• ''işin aslı bu'' anlamına gelir.
• bir şey olması gerektiği için olur anlamına gelir. çaresiz kalınan değil de yüzyüze gelinen kimi durumlarda olan biten karşısında söylenir. bir şey nasıl olmuşsa öyle olmuştur. yaşanması gereken her şey yaşanmıştır. it is what it is.
