Teoman Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yaralı dizlerim koşamam ki
Kapalı yollarından alkamam ki
Unutkan nehrimin
Yolumu sormadan bulamam ki
Karlı dağlarında doğamam ki
Saklı kentinin

Çok üzülme, çok susma

Çok terleme, çok susma
Çok da kitap okuma dedi annem

Çok terleme çok yorulma
Girdaplarında boğulma
Yalnızlığına da çok alışma

Güneşim olmaden göremem ki
Ay tutulurken uyuyamam ki
Karanlık olsa da
Ben herkesi sevemem ki

Sevmeden de yaşayamam ki
Yanlış olsa da

Overall Meaning

"Çok susma" means "don't be too silent", "don't keep it all inside" and "share your feelings" with someone you trust. The song is about a person who feels lost and unable to move forward in life. The person feels unable to run because of wounded knees or closed paths. They also feel lost without the guidance of the forgetful river, unable to find the hidden city, or climb the snowy mountains. They can't see or sleep during an eclipse, and don't have the capacity to love everyone, nor can they live without loving. The chorus reflects the caring advice of the singer's mother, who wants them to take care of themselves, to not overwork or overthink, and not to get used to loneliness.
