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.

Köşkünde yer yok bana yeni yeni anlıyorum
Bitmiş bütün cümleleri yosun ruhu akıyorum
Konuşma hiç luzum yok her şeyi duyuyorum
Rakıyı sensiz içeyim diye
Köprüyü yalnız geçeyim diye
Küllenip biteyim diye
Rakıyı sensiz içeyim diye
Köprüyü yalnız geçeyim diye
Küllenip biteyim diye
Sevdirdin kendini biliyorum
Koşarak geldim, kaçarak gidiyorum
Köşkünde yer yok bana yeni yeni anlıyorum
Bitmiş bütün cümleleri yosun ruhu akıyorum
Konuşma hiç luzum yok her şeyi duyuyorum
Rakıyı sensiz içeyim diye
Köprüyü yalnız geçeyim diye
Küllenip biteyim diye
Sevdirdin kendini biliyorum
Rakıyı sensiz içeyim diye
Köprüyü yalnız geçeyim diye
Küllenip biteyim diye
Sevdirdin kendini biliyorum
(Biliyorum)
The lyrics of "Biliyorum" by Gaye Su Akyol express a complicated mix of emotions surrounding a failed relationship. The singer is torn between the desire to move on and the longing to hold onto the memories of the past. She is physically running away from the situation, but emotionally she cannot let go. She realizes that there is no place for her in her lover's life, but she is only just starting to understand the true extent of her own feelings.
The first verse uses imagery of a mansion, or "köşk," to represent the relationship. The singer has come running to this place, but now she must leave, acknowledging that there is no room for her there. She is letting go of everything that was said before, represented by the "yosun ruhu" or the "moss spirit," which is a metaphor for the memories that are fading away. Yet even as she tries to let go, she cannot help but hear everything that has been said between them.
The chorus repeats the same lines, emphasizing the intensity of the singer's feelings. She wants to drink rakı, a traditional Turkish alcoholic beverage, but knows that it will not be the same without her lover. Similarly, she wants to cross the bridge alone, representing her desire to move on, but it is difficult because her lover is still in her heart. She feels as though she is slowly fading away, represented by the phrase "küllenip biteyim," or "turn to ashes and disappear." Yet despite the pain, she knows that she has fallen for her lover deeply.
Overall, "Biliyorum" is a poignant expression of heartbreak that many listeners can relate to. The lyrics are powerful and emotional, conveying a sense of longing and resignation that is both universal and deeply personal.

I'm not the best translator around, but its something like this:
I came by running
(Now) I'm running away
No place in your mansion(heart) for me
I understand now
Your words have run out
My moss-grown soul, I flow off
No need you to talk at all
I hear all
to make me drink rakı without you
to make me cross the bridge alone
to make me die down
You made me love you, I know

i came running, i am running away
there's no place for me in your palace, i just understand that..
every sentence is finished, i'm floating with a mossy soul
no need to talk, i already hear everything
for i drink raki without you
for i pass the bridge alone
for i turn to ash
you made yourself loved to me, now i know.

Iki sey yapmanizi siddetle öneririm: 1. Bu sarkiyi dinleyip, dinletmenizi. 2. Demet Evgar'in oynadigi "Sofra Sirlari" filmini izlemenizi. Kaliteli isler de yapiliyor ama kimsenin haberi olmuyor.
