Mor ve Ötesi was formed in 1995 with the line-up of Kerem Kabadayı (drums), Harun Tekin (vocals & guitar), Derin Esmer (vocals & guitar) and Alper Tekin (bass), who were then students at the Deutsche Schule Istanbul. They released their first album Şehir ("The City") in September 1996 and played their first live concert in Ankara. That year, Burak Güven replaced Alper Tekin on bass.
Bırak Zaman Aksın ("Let Time Flow"), their second album was released in January 1999 to massive success. Just after its release, Derin Esmer moved to the USA and was replaced by prominent guitarist Kerem Özyeğen. After the devastating 1999 Kocaeli earthquake, Mor ve Ötesi started playing more on social and political themes. They were also very active in the opposition against the use of nuclear energy in Turkiye.
In August 2001, they released their third album, Gül Kendine ("Smile at Yourself"). With Kerem Özyeğen, there was a noticeable change in the music, and after 17 August there was a noticeable change in lyrics. In October 2002, Mor ve Ötesi's released the Yaz EP, which included a cover of the Ajda Pekkan song Yaz Yaz Yaz.
Their fourth album Dünya Yalan Söylüyor ("The World is Lying") was released in March 2004. The album became their most popular album in Turkiye, reaching 250.000 sales. Since their previous work was not as well known, many new fans were not aware that they weren't a new band. Although this album has been their best selling album, it is not admired by their old fans as much as their previous work, and some have even seen it as "sell-out". The album contained considerable political criticism against the activities of the USA both in Iraq and the rest of the world. In the same year they received a Golden Orange Award for their single "Bir Derdim Var".
Their fifth album Büyük Düşler ("Great Hopes") was released on May 9, 2006. This is an album mainly dealing with the political problems of Turkiye and the personal problems of the group members, including loss of family members and their relationships. It has a darker sound compared to their previous albums. This album is regarded as a homage to their old fan base and a return to a style closer to their earlier albums. Three singles were released from the album: "Şirket", "Küçük Sevgilim", and "Ayıp Olmaz Mı?". Büyük Düşler was named Best Album of the Year by Rolling Stone Turkiye and Best Rock Album of the Year by Blue Jean magazine.
On December 10 2007 TRT's general manager İbrahim Şahin announced that Mor ve Ötesi were to represent Turkiye in Eurovision Song Contest 2008 with the song 'Deli'. Mor ve Ötesi finished 7th in contest, which was held in Belgrade on 22 May 2008. During the contest, BBC commentator Sir Terry Wogan described the lead singer as "a sinister James Bond".
The band's sixth album, Başıbozuk, was released in late 2008, and included three studio and four live tracks, including their Eurovision entry, as well as remixes.
Their seventh album "Masumiyetin Ziyan Olmaz" ("Your Innocence Won't Go To Waste") came out in 12 May 2010. The first video clip was "Yorma Kendini"
Son Deneme
Mor ve Ötesi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tozum bile kalmasın
Elinde boş bir tabanca
Dua et ki patlasın, kör bahtıma
Gelecekse, ne gelecekse gelsin
Gel sen de kopar bir parça
Elinde boş bir tabanca
Dua et ki patlasın, patlasın yine
Hayalet kurşunlar
Maskeler, alaylar
Gelecekse, ne gelecekse gelsin
Son deneme - saat kaç saat kaç ki?
Seni buldum - sesi gür yüzü eski
Artık bir şey yapamam, yapamam ki
The song "Son Deneme" by Mor ve Ötesi is a beautifully crafted piece of music that delves into the themes of despair, hopelessness, and the inevitability of fate. In the first stanza, the lyrics urge the listener to break off a piece, to not let even the dust remain, and to hold a gun that is empty and hope it explodes, indicating the loss of hope and the desire for an end. The repetition of "gelecekse, ne gelecekse gelsin" conveys a sense of surrender to an unknown future, suggesting that the singer is resigned to whatever fate awaits him.
The second stanza expands on the themes of the song, adding symbolism to the imagery. The "hayalet kurşunlar" (ghost bullets) and "maskeler, alaylar" (masks, mockery) hint at the all-encompassing despair that the singer feels, with the bullets and masks representing death and deception that surround him. The repeated plea for an explosion suggests that even in death, there is a chance for a release from the overwhelming sense of powerlessness.
The final line "Son deneme - saat kaç saat kaç ki? Seni buldum - sesi gür yüzü eski Artık bir şey yapamam, yapamam ki" conveys the finality of the situation. The singer has resigned themselves to their fate, with the repetition of "yapamam ki" indicating a final admission of defeat.

Gel sen de kopar bir parça
Come and tear off a piece
Tozum bile kalmasın
Let not even dust be left
Elinde boş bir tabanca
With an empty gun in hand
Dua et ki patlasın, kör bahtıma
Pray that it explodes, my blind fortune
Gelecekse, ne gelecekse gelsin
Whatever comes, let it come
Gel sen de kopar bir parça
Come and tear off a piece
Tozum bile kalmasın
Let not even dust be left
Elinde boş bir tabanca
With an empty gun in hand
Dua et ki patlasın, patlasın yine
Pray that it explodes again
Hayalet kurşunlar
Ghost bullets
Maskeler, alaylar
Masks, ridicules
Gelecekse, ne gelecekse gelsin
Whatever comes, let it come
Son deneme - saat kaç saat kaç ki?
Last trial - what time is it?
Seni buldum - sesi gür yüzü eski
I found you - loud voice, old face
Artık bir şey yapamam, yapamam ki
I can't do anything anymore

Kara deliğin içinde olmak herhalde bu şarkı gibi hissettirir.
Bu adamlar sade şarkı değil sanat yapıyor resmen.
