Gaye Su Akyol Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Aşkımla kuşattım seni seni
Yanındayken ölümsüz hissediyorum
Bi duble rakı daha içsem
Sanki dünya kurtulacakmış gibi

Ben kaybettim sen bulasın
Aklımın kapısını
Avlusunda taht kurasın
Uyanıp uyuyasın

Neden bu gök bu kadar güzel
Bu rüzgar böyle tatlı




Aşık mı oldum yoksa
Kafam mı

Overall Meaning

Eski Tüfek, translated as "Old Gun," is a song by Turkish singer-songwriter Gaye Su Akyol, known for her unique blend of traditional Anatolian music and modern rock melodies. The lyrics of the song are a mixture of poetic imagery and surrealism, which makes the interpretation of the song open to personal understanding.


The first verse, "I encircled you with my love, with my love / I feel immortal when I am near you," expresses the overwhelming emotions of the singer towards their love interest. The line "I feel immortal" could suggest that the love they share is a timeless feeling that transcends physical existence. The second verse, "If I have another double of Raki/ I feel like the world would be saved," depicts the power of alcohol in numbing the pain of the world temporarily.

The third and final verse is a contemplation of the beauty of the world and whether the singer is in love or just lost in thought. The line "Why is the sky so beautiful/ The wind is so sweet/ Am I in love or is it just my mind?" illustrates the existential angst of the singer and their struggle to find meaning and purpose in the world.


Overall, the song Eski Tüfek is a beautiful and poetic exploration of the complexity of human emotions and the search for purpose and meaning.

Is it just in my head?

I don't understand anything but being Serbian this sound is so familiar I wish we had bands like this in the Balkans.

Gaye hanimi henuz kesfettim.Farkli bir havasi var ve insani dinlemeye sevk ediyor.Sarkilari nedense bana 70-80lerin muziklerini hatirlatiyor.
