The band continued to write their songs in English until the end of 2004. They managed to draw attention with their first Turkish song called “ilk”. After getting positive responses from the listeners, Pickpocket decided to continue to write their music in Turkish.

In the album “Hayalle Gercek Arasinda”, all the adjustments in lyrics and music were made by Pickpocket, the mix and mastering part of the procedure was completed in the Virus studio. The production of the album was committed by “Virus Production” and the distribution was committed by “Irem Production”. The album was released on April 18, 2008.

Hiçbir Şey Aynı Değil
Kör Olmuş Bu Şehir Göremez
Görse De Duymak İstemez
Bu Sirenler Bizim İçin
Hayal Etmek Boşuna
Güzel Günler Yok Artık
Bitti Sonunda Bu Rüya Da
Yanarken Umutlarıyla
Unutamaz Bu Şehir
Haykırırken Her Anında
Hâlâ Kan Var Ellerimde
Unuttuk Mu Sandın Büyük Adam
Hâlâ Aklımızda Feda Edilenler
Tek Tek Yok Oldu Ümitler
Aldılar Elimizden

Yetim Kalmış Bu Gözler
Oyulmuşlar Birer Birer
Her Gün Karşımda Sen
Her Gün Aklımda Bir Neden
Yeniden Doğuyor Bu Güneş
Battığı Kabirden
Uyanıyor Bu Şehir
Küllerinden Doğarken
Yeşeriyor Tüm Ümitler
Her Gün Biraz Nefes Alırken
Yükseliyor Bu Sesler
Karanlığın Tam İçinden
Tükenirken Tüm Ümitler
Bir Işık Gökyüzünden
The lyrics to the song "Adam" by Pickpocket describe a city that has changed since the singer left. Everything is different and the city is blind to its own demise. The sirens, once a source of hope, are now useless. There are no more beautiful days, and the dream is over. The city is burning and with it, the hopes of its people. The singer, still holding onto the memory of the sacrifices made, still bears the scars of the past. The city and its people are alone, with no one left to turn to. Despite this, the sun is rising again, and with it, there is hope. The city is born anew, from its own ashes. The hope that was once lost is returning, and with each passing day, the city is growing stronger. The voices of those who once had no hope are rising up from the darkness, and a light shines from the sky, leading the city forward.
The lyrics of "Adam" are very poetic and use metaphors extensively. The sirens can be interpreted to represent a warning that was ignored, leading to the city's decline. The burning city can be seen as a metaphor for the death of hope. The scars on the singer's hands may represent the sacrifices made in the past, leading to a better future. The sun rising from the grave can represent a new beginning, despite the death and destruction that has come before.
