Dinlediğim Masallar
Murder King Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Artık bir mezar oldun, susturdum kendimi
Yağmurda damla oldun, ağlattın hep beni
Hep gördüm, hep duydum, hep sustum
Ceza gibi...
Bir gün bir şarkı oldum, anlattım her şeyi
Simsiyah dalgalar
Gökte bir yıldız, bir de ay
Gitmez hep ordalar

Sanki senden sonra
Dinlediğim masallarda
Bir günlük katil oldum, öldürdüm herkesi
Vazgeçtim şahit oldum, suçladım kendimi
Ben gördüm, ben duydum, ben sustum
Ceza gibi...
Bir gün bir tanrı buldum, anlattı gerçeği
Simsiyah dalgalar
Gökte bir yıldız, bir de ay
Gitmez hep ordalar
Sanki senden sonra
Dinlediğim masallarda
Eskisi gibi olmaz
Hiç bir şey
Sensiz olmaz
Artık hiç bir şey
Simsiyah dalgalar
Gökte bir yıldız, bir de ay
Gitmez hep ordalar
Sanki senden sonra

Dinlediğim masallarda
Hep sensiz masallarda

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Murder King's song "Dinlediğim Masallar" describe the singer's journey through grief and anger after the loss of a loved one. The opening lines declare that the singer has become a grave, as they have silenced themselves after being constantly saddened by the memory of their loved one. The rain becomes a metaphor for their tears and mourning, yet the memory of the lost one seems to persist like a punishment.

Throughout the first verse, the singer recalls how they witnessed and experienced the grief but never expressed it, like a heavy punishment. However, they eventually find solace in composing a song about their feelings, and the following verse expresses how they found a glimmer of hope in the endless darkness. The "simsiyah dalgalar" (jet-black waves) symbolize the void that they feel after their loved one's death, yet the moon and the stars are still present, showing that life continues despite the loss.

The bridge speaks of the singer's descent into a dark place where they become a "günlük katil" (daily killer), but eventually, they find a new perspective through a divine figure ("bir gün bir tanrı buldum"). The last chorus and the closing lines end on a melancholic note, stating that life will never be the same again regardless of how much time passes.

Overall, the song seems to express the stages of grief through a very personal lens, with the singer finding their voice and reaching catharsis through music.
