Bengü Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yürek fena halde
Göğsünde bana bir yer yok mu
Yaşardım himayende
Yani ciddi ciddi gidiyomusun
Sahi sevdim seni bilmiyomusun
Öldür bari sağ bırakma
Döne dolana kapında köle olucam
Yana yakına herkese seni mi sorucam
Buysa adalet sonum felaket
Düse takıla peşinde kaybolucam
The lyrics of Bengü's song "Ciddi Ciddi" speaks about a heart that has turned into stone and winter. This suggests that the subject has become emotionally detached and cold to the world around them. The lyrics continue on to describe how there's no space left for the singer in the subject's heart and how they would have lived comfortably under their protection.
The chorus of the song asks the subject if they were serious about leaving, and if they even knew that the singer loved them. The singer then asks the subject to either kill them or leave them alive, because they cannot live without them. The next few lines suggest that the singer will be a slave to the subject, wandering around asking everyone about them. The song then ends with the singer accepting their fate of falling behind the subject, even if it means stumbling and getting lost.
Overall, the song talks about how love can be a destructive force that leads to emotional turmoil, and how one can lose themselves trying to hold onto it.
