BİR KEZ OLSUN DÜŞÜNSEN
In your gaze, a questioning aim hit my soul,
Your words a weapon, and your magazine is full.
You shot me like I was a criminal,
The last thing I felt was fear—
Fear of losing you, or my own cowardice.
My cowardice.
But I never think of anyone else, not even once.
Oh, if only you could see, just once, through my eyes.
And knowing you'd lose to yourself, shrink before me,
Fear losing, as much as I would suffer.
If only you'd think, just once.
I never think of anyone else, not even once.
But I never think of anyone else.
Is my perspective too dark? You stole my light.
I limped my way to your door, I chased you while you ran.
You shut the door.
How did I get caught in this? In the end, all my love died.
I couldn’t even find a place in yours graveyard.
But I never think of anyone else, not even once.
Oh, if only you could see, just once, through my eyes.
And knowing you'd lose to yourself, shrink before me,
Fear losing, as much as I would suffer.
But I never think of anyone else, not even once.
Oh, if only you could see, just once, through my eyes.
And knowing you'd lose to yourself, shrink before me,
Fear losing, as much as I would suffer.
If only you'd think, just once.
I never think of anyone else, not even once.
But I never think of anyone else.

İLK SEFER DEĞİL BU
This isn’t the first time.
How many times have you run away from me, from us? I don’t know.
Every time, this earthquake has shattered me a little more.
Your photos fell from where they were.
This isn’t the first time.
This isn’t the first time.
This isn’t the first time.
Once again, I woke up in emptiness.
I don’t know my days, my months, my years.
Every time, this sorrow burned me a little more.
I couldn’t find a cure for this pain anywhere.
In my heart, there’s a mansion with your name at the door.
I couldn’t stop looking, I couldn’t bring myself to destroy it.
There’s a notebook with only one page left, my name on the cover.
I scribbled your name on the last page again.
Once again, I woke up in emptiness.
I don’t know my days, my months, my years.
Every time, this sorrow burned me a little more.
I couldn’t find a cure for this pain anywhere.
In my heart, there’s a mansion with your name at the door.
I couldn’t stop looking, I couldn’t bring myself to destroy it.
There’s a notebook with only one page left, my name on the cover.
I scribbled your name on the last page again.

İNSANLIK BİR SEÇİMDİ
Underfoot, my youth lies. My captivity never ends.
In the land I was born, a time came when I wasn’t wanted.
My body is here, but my soul is in unknown lands.
In futures that aren’t confined, free tomorrows.
You tried to destroy my life. Don’t you know?
The steps you took without thinking, they dragged us toward the cliff.
Can’t you see?
Humanity is a choice. You lost it.
Humanity was a choice.
You lost it.
In your hands, hatred reigns. Your captivity never ends.
On the television, a thousand poisons, your conscience entrusted to you.
A rosy world that was once lived in peace.
When lies weren’t enough, enemies multiplied.
You tried to destroy my life. Don’t you know?
The steps you took without thinking, they dragged us toward the cliff.
Can’t you see?
Humanity is a choice. You lost it.
Humanity was a choice.
You lost it.
You tried to destroy my life.

YAZDILAR YARINLARI
Born in the wrong era.
When asked where they were born,
All their rights were taken.
They went into debt without living.
They had no choice.
They wrote the tomorrows.
Thrown to the front lines of a war.
They fought.
Identity checks were asked at every step.
It drained my will to live.
We’re all the same, on the same path.
How many disasters do you need to understand we’re on the same side?
A person fights for something, but
This battle isn’t against each other.
Now understand.
They and us, we’re on the same side.
Identity checks were asked at every step.
It drained my will to live.
We’re all the same, on the same path.
How many disasters do you need to understand we’re on the same side?
Lyrics: Yiğitcan Sonlu
GİTMEDEN
Before I go, if I could see my reflection in your eyes.
Unknowingly, I got lost deeply, my solution slipped from my hands.
Without falling, if I could comfort your tears,
Before it ends, if I could finish my words, ease your pain.
My anxious eyes,
My skin worn out by the coldness around me.
Weakened, isolated in an empty space, my body.
My sun frozen,
The days passing by, condemned to darkness.
The warmth you left in my heart is my only reason to live.
Before I go, if I could see my reflection in your eyes.
Unknowingly, I got lost deeply, my solution slipped from my hands.
Without falling, if I could comfort your tears,
Before it ends, if I could finish my words, ease your pain.
I won’t collapse, I wait with an old picture in my hands.
I drink, I laugh, I dream of us.
I don’t know if it ends suddenly,
At the end of my pain, darkness has sprouted.
I’m tired, I won’t raise my voice.
My throat has tightened against those who left.
I don’t know if it ends suddenly,
Before I go, if I could see my reflection in your eyes.
I’m tired, I won’t raise my voice,
I got lost deeply, my solution slipped from my hands.
Without falling, if I could comfort your tears,
Before it ends, if I could finish my words, ease your pain.
Lyrics: Yiğitcan Sonlu
DETAYLARDA GİZLİ YENİLGİM
Stop, don't stay silent, please, a way will be found.
Look, your image fades away in my mind.
My pen breaks, it doesn’t reflect any truth.
My defeat is hidden in details, impossible to describe.
One night I was defeated silently, I had no hope left.
Dreams ended, they slipped away from my hands.
How many birthdays have I had today, buried under?
I shared my sorrow with the candles on my cake that wouldn’t burn.
