The lyrics of Şebnem Ferah's song "Sigara" (Cigarette) speak to the narrator's desire to break free from the monotony of life and live without inhibitions. The opening lines express the narrator's desire to run instead of crawl, to dress up and wear makeup, and to not think before speaking. The desire to be an important person in a small game also hints at a dissatisfaction with the narrator's current position in life.

The imagery of an "orphan" created by the narrator's thoughts and desires, which are likened to a forest, is juxtaposed with the image of a match, which can burn down the forest in an instant. This metaphor suggests that the narrator's desires have the potential to destroy what they have built in life.

The chorus portrays the narrator's sense of being consumed by their addiction to cigarettes, while the object of their affection is represented by an unlit matchstick. The phrase "birinin hayatından geçmiş oldun" (you passed through someone's life) implies a fleeting encounter in which the narrator's life has been affected by the presence of the other person, even though the other person did not ignite a flame or initiate a relationship.

Overall, the song speaks to the desire for change and the potential consequences of pursuing one's desires without caution or restraint.
