Akyol is the daughter of fellow artist Muzaffer Akyol, and, like her father, she is involved in visual arts as well as being a graduate from cultural studies. Her debut solo record, Develerle Yaşıyorum, stroked a new chord in Turkish alternative music scene. She unearthed her own story expanded into nine tracks in May 2014. She gained notoriety in the scene as each parts of Toz ve Toz, and the local hypnotic "electro-acoustic" band Seni Görmem İmkansız with Tuğçe Şenoğul, now determined to continue her musical venture as a whimsical storyteller.
The singer's sound can be defined as ‘musiki’ rather than the old good muzak itself. An old school word used in Turkish language for music, be that a more sophisticated, oriental and spiritual sound.
Akyol received Best Artist award at Songlines Music Awards 2019.
Ölü Bir Adama
Gaye Su Akyol Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aşık oldum, aşık oldum
Onun hasta ruhu delik deşik
Mekaniği bozuk
Her ama her günü gri
Bütün ömrü flu
Ben ölü bir adama
O başka gezegene ait
Suyu başka, rengi başka
Adımları korkak, acemi
Kovuyor her geleni
Bulutlar akıyor toprağa
Düşüyor kaldırımlara
Ölüler aşık olmaz ki
Ama o da aşık oldu bana
The song Ölü Bir Adama by Gaye Su Akyol is a melancholic ballad that tells the story of a woman who falls in love with a dead man. The lyrics describe how she is drawn to his sick and broken soul, and how every day of his life was gray and blurry. The woman acknowledges that the man she loves is not from this world, and his steps are fearful and inexperienced, but she is still captivated by him.
The lyrics also refer to the sky and how the clouds flow to the ground, while the dead man's love is portrayed as unnatural, as if he should not be able to feel it. However, the song ends with the twist that the dead man also fell in love with the woman.
The song's lyrics have been interpreted as a comment on nihilism, the search for meaning in life, and the feeling of loneliness, among other things. The music video for the song features surreal imagery, with the woman dressed in black and wandering through a city that is both real and imaginary.
