Suya kitap yazanlar sordu
Adımı niye benim annem koydu?
Niye bu bakışlar nefret dolu?
Bir nefeslik yarında
Kim kaldı ki yanımda?
Kimi kalktı bana vurdu
Kimi yandı, kül oldu
Annem eteğimi vermedi, sen erkeksin olmaz dedi
Sokakta koymazlar dedi, annem eteğimi vermedi
Annem eteğimi vermedi, sen erkeksin olmaz dedi
Sokakta koymazlar dedi, annem eteğimi vermedi
Nasıl anlatırsın ki zaten onlara?
Oy pusulasıyla yön arayanlara
Açtık, kaçtık bize göre değil bu dünya
Hiç yok sana hep çalış onlara
Bir nefeslik yarında
Kimi bıraktın ki yanımda?
Kimi kalktı bana vurdu
Kimi yandı, kül oldu
Annem eteğimi vermedi, sen erkeksin olmaz dedi
Sokakta koymazlar dedi, annem eteğimi vermedi
Annem eteğimi vermedi, sen erkeksin olmaz dedi
Sokakta koymazlar dedi, annem eteğimi vermedi
Annem eteğimi vermedi, sen erkeksin olmaz dedi
Sokakta koymazlar dedi, annem eteğimi vermedi
Annem eteğimi vermedi, sen erkeksin olmaz dedi
Sokakta koymazlar dedi, annem eteğimi vermedi
Annem eteğimi vermedi, sen erkeksin olmaz dedi
Sokakta koymazlar dedi, annem eteğimi vermedi
Annem eteğimi vermedi, sen erkeksin olmaz dedi
Sokakta koymazlar dedi, annem eteğimi vermedi
Annem eteğimi vermedi, sen erkeksin olmaz dedi
Sokakta koymazlar dedi, annem eteğimi vermedi
"Annem Eteğimi Vermedi" by Padme is a song that expresses the frustration and anger of a person who is constantly being told what they can or cannot do because of their gender. The lyrics talk about how rules and societal norms have limited the singer's ability to live freely and pursue their dreams, and they question why their own mother named them and raised them with such limitations. The opening lines "Kaç oldu kurallar vurdu, suya kitap yazanlar sordu" highlight the anger towards the society which is imposing restrictions, while the line "Niye bu bakışlar nefret dolu?" speaks to the discrimination and prejudice that they face every day.
The chorus "Annem eteğimi vermedi, sen erkeksin olmaz dedi, sokakta koymazlar dedi" emphasizes the impact that the singer's mother has had on their life. The mother has restricted them from wearing dresses and has constantly reminded them that they are a boy and cannot do certain things. This has become a barrier for the singer, as they feel trapped and unheard, which is why they repeat the chorus several times.
The second verse is about the difficulty of explaining their situation to others who do not understand their struggles, and how society has set them up for failure. The singer questions why they should work hard for a society that does not accept them for who they are, while others around them have left or turned against them. The line "Açtık, kaçtık bize göre değil bu dünya" describes their own rejection of the society and its outdated rules.
Overall, "Annem Eteğimi Vermedi" is a song that touches upon the struggles of those who do not conform to societal norms and expectations. It highlights the anger, frustration, and resentment that these individuals feel towards society and their own family members who impose restrictions upon them.
