From the song

Marra مرة by SNX

A partner who loves sometimes and does not at other times. One minute they ask where you are, the next they say they cannot stay. They say it is just their nature, and when the singer asks why love me then, the answer never comes. The singer remembers an easier self who played and laughed all day, and now life has turned upside down. It is hard to recall the last time of real laughter, and even in good moments the singer hides the joy. The question to God is: why did you make it this way?

Deeper meaning

The song is about loving someone who is hot and cold, and what that does to a person. The singer's lost laughter is the real cost. The blending of Gulf and Egyptian words suggests two voices or a deliberate mix, and the final plea to God shows a person who has stopped blaming and started asking.
