No friend, no enemy,No beloved, no stranger.Every word of ours is a knife,Every silence a gravestone.Even as we destroy each other, we stand side by side.To be your enemy has become a kind of loyalty to me.Sometimes our harmony frightens me,Even when we fight, we keep the rhythm.Before you speak, I have already written my reply.You treat me like an enemy,Yet I am still, at heart, on your side.We are utterly different, yet in harmony, yet in war.Even as we destroy each other, we are made complete

It didn’t work out, my love, I couldn’t learn how to live.I began with enthusiasm, but left it half-finished.I couldn’t find a way; I grew narrow, believe me.Now, to the next one...People said, “You’ll get used to it with time.”I got used to time, but never to myself.The same thing always lingered in my mind—not me;Perhaps that’s why I became numb.Maybe I achieved some things,But I don’t know what good they did.I wanted silence, not applause,Because in silence I could hear myself.It didn’t work

Songs always comfort people.When they are sad, they let them fully experience their sorrow.When they are happy, they allow them to laugh wholeheartedly.When missing someone, they miss them through songs; they are never alone.When saying goodbye to a loved one, they bid farewell to their former self through songs.Sometimes the words within songs are the expressions of inner feelings.Sometimes the rhythm of songs is the heartbeat itself.Sometimes the remedy for loneliness lies in songs.And sometim

I was a foreigner in my own homeI crashed and turned against the walls a thousand timesIn your voice I found a breathI drowned in suffocation a million timesI searched for an exit in your eyesI thought you were the only light in the darknessI came for you, I burned everythingI scattered it all, I supposeI came for you, I returned hoping for youI saw light in you, I extinguished my own lightI filtered the light through my eyes and saw you in myselfOn your face, from your faceYour absence is heavy

Sometimes a relationship ends, but the questions within it do not. BLOK3’s song “Napıyosun Mesela?” speaks directly from this emotion. You have neither fully forgotten nor been able to return; all that remains is a silent curiosity. The question posed seems simple: “What are you doing right now?” But this question carries dozens of unsaid sentences within it.“Napıyosun Mesela?” is one of the standout tracks from the artist’s Virtüöz EP project. The fact that both the lyrics and music are directl

Some from poverty, some from fearlessness...I cannot say to my own rooms, “It has always been this way since creation.”If I called it a cave, it would be calmer,If it weren’t a house, it would be easier to leave.How much I wished to knock on the doors within meAnd be able to say, “Nothing’s wrong, just the wind blew.”From haste, I murmur one after another the few songs my mother taught me;I get stuck on one, like a scratched record;The song says, “Poplars,” I know, this is a poem,Is it easier to
