Kırmızı Halı
Gökhan Tepe Lyrics

The lyrics to Gökhan Tepe's 'Kırmızı Halı' tell a story of a love that has turned sour. The singer addresses his beloved, pointing out that there were many who died for her, indicating that the love he had for her was deep and passionate. He then talks about how she was treated like royalty, with red carpets (kırmızı halı) being laid out for her. He goes on to say that he himself had to grow up and become a man, and how he had to put up a guard to protect himself from being hurt by her anymore. The singer also touches on the theme of betrayal, warning her that the day will come when she pays for her infidelity and sins.

As the song progresses, the lyrics shift to the present tense, with the singer urging his beloved to wake up and realize that he has left her. He uses the imagery of burning until morning to describe how he feels, and he emphasizes that he has left her behind and doesn't want to be a part of her life anymore. The final couplet is particularly poignant, as he urges her to realize that he is no longer a part of her story and to move on with her life.
