The first roots of the band may be found in Mad Madam, which was a cover band with a set list full of songs from Seattle groups. Kaan Tangöze and Ari Barokas were together in Mad Madam until Tangöze flew to Seattle to earn a graduate degree. Upon returning to Turkiye with a handful of songs molded in the spirit of the Seattle scene, Tangöze formed Duman with Ari Barokas from his former group and Batuhan Mutlugil from another local cover band. After first deciding to work with session drummers, drummer Alen Konakoğlu took on this responsibility and the group released Eski Köprünün Altında in 1999.

Kim bilir? durmadan nasıl susarsın?
Bilmeden, boşuna atıp tutarsın
Su gibi akıp geçer zaman
Gezdin tozdun aman aman aman
Sazdın sözdün aman aman aman
Giderek üzdün bizi zaman
Giderek üzdün bizi zaman
Yazdın çizdin aman aman aman
İncecik izdin aman aman aman
Sıraya dizdin bizi zaman
Sıraya dizdin bizi zaman
Hep kaçıp, yeni bir adım atarken
Dibine kadar, çileye batıp çıkarken
İçine atıp atıp, yoluna basıp giderken
Su gibi akıp geçer zaman
Gezdin tozdun aman aman aman
Sazdın sözdün aman aman aman
Giderek üzdün bizi zaman
Giderek üzdün bizi zaman
Yazdın çizdin aman aman aman
İncecik izdin aman aman aman
Sıraya dizdin bizi zaman
Sıraya dizdin bizi zaman
Gezdin tozdun aman aman aman
Sazdın sözdün aman aman aman
Giderek üzdün bizi zaman
Giderek üzdün bizi zaman
Sıraya dizdin bizi zaman
Sıraya dizdin bizi zaman
Giderek üzdün bizi zaman
Giderek üzdün bizi zaman
Sıraya dizdin bizi zaman
Sıraya dizdin
The lyrics of the song Aman Aman by Duman depict the passage of time and its effect on a person's life. The first stanza poses the question of where one might go while carrying their troubles with them. The songwriter then highlights the irony of how people needlessly waste their time without knowing when they will run out of it. Despite this, they still continue to complain about things they have no control over. Time passes by like water flowing, subtly yet forcefully moving forward.
The second stanza presents a person who constantly takes steps forward, never looking back. However, they face challenges, and it seems like they are about to break under the weight of their struggles. Yet, they keep pushing themselves until they manage to rise above them. They keep suppressing their feelings and just keep moving forward, as time keeps flowing by like water.
Overall, the song Aman Aman by Duman is a poignant reminder of the fleeting nature of time and the importance of cherishing each moment we have in life. It tells us that life is not without its difficulties, but we must keep moving forward and try to make the most of our time on this earth.
