Born in Yalova to Turkish immigrant parents from Skopje, Macedonia, Ferah got her first guitar when she was in the first year in boarding at Bursa Namık Sözeri High School. She took lessons on the acoustic guitar, and during her second year she hired a studio with her friends and formed the group Pegasus. The group had their first stage experience during a rock festival in Bursa, in 1987. After a while, Pegasus disbanded. In 1988 with her four friends, Ferah formed Volvox, which was named after a microorganism that they had encountered in a biology lesson.
After a period during which she attended Middle East Technical University, studying economics in Ankara, she moved to Istanbul, where she attended classes on English language and literature at the Istanbul University. For two years she performed in various bars with Volvox, until they disbanded in 1994.
She released her first solo album, Kadın in 1996, and has gone on to release a total of six full studio albums, the last one being Benim Adım Orman, released in 2009. In addition to composing the music and writing the lyrics of every song in her albums, she occasionally sings on stage cover versions of work by artists of similar vocal qualities and style, such as Amy Lee and Skin.
On her third album, Perdeler, she collaborated with the Finnish cello rock band Apocalyptica.
Ferah's current group consists of Buket Doran (bass guitar), Metin Türkcan (electric guitar), Aykan İlkan (drums), and Ozan Tügen (keyboard), who have been performing with her in studio and on stage since her third album, Perdeler.

Şebnem Ferah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sarhoşmusun dünya?
Şişede şarap gibi yorgun bir kadın gibi
Yalnızmısın dünya?
Sesimi bir duy diye beklemek zor geliyor
Yüzüme bir gül diye düşünmek zor geliyor
Gerçek misin?yalan mısın?masal mısın dünya?
Gerçekmisin ,yalanmısın dünya?
Döne döne durmadan sen de bir garip oldun
Sarhoşmusun dünya?sesimi bir duy diye beklemek zor geliyor
Yüzüme bir gül diye düşünmek zor geliyor
Gerçekmisin,yalanmısın,masalmısın dünya?
Barışırmısın benimle ?
Gerçekmisin yalanmısın dünya?
Bazen içime bıçak gibi saplanıp yara olduysan da
Günler boyunca kanayıp acıttıysan da
Daha çocukken bile duvar gibi sert olduysan da
Sana hiç küsmedim ,hiç küsmedim dünya...
The lyrics of Şebnem Ferah's "Dünya" express a sense of disillusionment and weariness with the world. The singer asks whether the world has become odd and drunk like a tired woman with a bottle of wine. She wonders if it's difficult for the world to hear her voice and imagine her smile. She then questions whether the world is real, a lie or a fairy tale, and whether it can ever make peace with her. Nonetheless, she confesses that even though the world may have hurt her like a knife in her chest, she has never turned her back on it.
The opening lines "Döne döne durmadan sen de bir garip oldun/Sarhoşmusun dünya?" suggest that the world has lost its meaning and direction. The phrase "bir garip" means "strange" or "weird" and implies that the world has become something that's hard to comprehend. The reference to being drunk further accentuates the idea that the world has taken a wrong turn and is no longer sober enough to make sense. The repetition of the phrase "döne döne" (meaning spinning around and around) also conveys a sense of confusion and disorientation.
The singer's questioning of the world's reality, and whether it's a truth, a lie or a fairy tale, could be seen as a reflection of our own uncertainty about the world we live in. She wonders if the world can ever be at peace with her, implying that there's some sort of conflict or tension that needs resolution. Despite whatever hurt the world may have caused her, and however tough it may be, she reaffirms her commitment to it by saying "hiç küsmedim dünya" (I've never turned my back on you, world).
Overall, the lyrics of "Dünya" offer a poignant reflection on the state of our world, and the human struggle to make sense of it, even in times of confusion and disillusionment.

@@enginozcelik8848 Bütün dünyanın bildiği bir şarkı ile yerel ve yeni yeni oturmuş bir dinleyici kitlesi olan birisinin karşılaştırmak uyun olmayabilir, 2001 de çıkardığı albümün 7. Parçasına bu kadar güvenmesi bencede büyük hareket. Ama size de katılıyorum Lara Fabian ın başına gelen daha etkileyici bir hava yaratmış.
