Nereye Kadar
Kenan Doğulu Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sen dur sus beni iyi dinle
Aklinla bulursun dogru
Yolu bekle ben senden daha sahipsiz
Mahsur kaldi mahzun
Kalbin kalbimde

Bir ask yasiyorum
Söylemek zor geliyor

Bir kalp tasiyorum
Tanimak senden bile zor

Ne senle ne de sensiz
Ne benle ne de bensiz
Nereye kadar
Nereye kadar

Dur dinle beni kaybetme
Kalbinle bulursun dogru
Yolu bekle
Kinlenme her seyi kaydetme
Mahsur kaldi mahzun
Kalbin kalbimde

Sana karsi bu aciz durusum
Tarifsiz bastan çikisim
Sebepsiz degil eriyen
Buz daglarini yakan
Vahsi tutkuna el pençe divan olusum

Ama hep amasi var zaten
Bu döngü hep kendine dönük sistem
Ya içinde kal akintiya kapil
Disinda dur nehri seyret

Içinde kötülük varsa iyilik diger yarin
Güven rehber yarinlarin

The following line "Aklinla bulursun dogru" means "You will find the truth with your mind", suggesting that the singer feels the need to reason with their lover in order to resolve an issue between them. The lines "Yolu bekle ben senden daha sahipsiz Mahsur kaldi mahzun / Kalbin kalbimde" translate to "Wait for me, I am more helpless than you are. I am stuck and sad, but my heart is with yours". This implies that the singer is in a vulnerable state and wants their lover to show some understanding and support.

The chorus of "Nereye Kadar" is centered around the idea of uncertainty and not knowing where things are heading. The lyrics "Ne senle ne de sensiz / Ne benle ne de bensiz / Nereye kadar / Nereye kadar" mean "Neither with nor without you / Neither me nor myself / Where to, where to". This reveals the singer's feeling of being stuck in a limbo, unsure whether to continue with the relationship or to move on.

The bridge of the song is where the singer becomes more emotional and vulnerable. The lines "Sana karsi bu aciz durusum / Tarifsiz bastan çikisim / Sebepsiz degil eriyen / Buz daglarini yakan / Vahsi tutkuna el pençe divan olusum" translate to "This helpless posture against you / My indescribable attraction / Not without reason melting / Melting the icebergs / Submitting to the wild passion". These lines reveal the singer's deep emotional attachment to their lover, despite feeling helpless and uncertain.
