overdose Lyrics English Translation by Tutku
Can Kiper writes lyrics that question a lover’s defensive rebellion while admitting personal weakness. The narrator asks for stronger drinks to numb the pain, directly blaming love for the emotional chaos. He confesses ‘it’s love that caused this overdose’ (Yaptı aşk bu overdose), showing how affection can become poisonous. The poet describes unshed tears and nightmares, creating a portrait of someone trapped by their own feelings.
Haklıysan sebebi nedir bu isyandanIf you’re right, then what’s the reason for this rebellion?
Kopamadın oldu kalp d%c%bcşmanYou couldn’t break away, and your heart became your enemy.
Aklım sen de duble koyMy mind’s stuck on you, so pour me a double,
Yaptı aşk bu overdoseit’s love that caused this overdose.
Sebebi yok, sebebi yokThere’s no reason, there’s no reason.
Kimi zaman yaşanılan yaşanacak, ka%cılmıyo’Sometimes what’s meant to be will happen, there’s no escaping it,
İnsanoğlu b%c%b6yle gelmiş ge%cılmiyo’that’s just how we are, and you can’t change it,
Seven kalp hi%cı ilacını bulamıyo’a heart in love can never find its cure.
Kimde kimdedir d%c%b6k%c%bcılmeyen yaşlar ortasındaWho has the answer, standing amidst these unshed tears?
Kalmak ka%cımaksa korkularım olur k%c%c2bus banaIf staying is just running away, then my fears turn into nightmares.
Kimde kimdedir aklımdakinin cevabı olsaWho has the answer to what’s weighing on my mind?
Kimde kimdedir, hisler bana g%c%b6lgedirWho has it, when my feelings are nothing but shadows?
Haklıysan sebebi nedir bu isyandanIf you’re right, then what’s the reason for this rebellion?
Kopamadın oldu kalp d%c%bcşmanYou couldn’t break away, and your heart became your enemy.
Aklım sen de duble koyMy mind’s stuck on you, so pour me a double,
Yaptı aşk bu overdoseit’s love that caused this overdose.
İ%cımde kalan heves virajımı kesmezThe fire left inside me won’t slow my momentum,
Savrulur %c%a7oğalar, aşk bu, %c%a7%c%bcır%c%bcımeye değmezit scatters and grows, for this is love, and it’s not worth wasting away.
Ayrılıksa yol alışırım inan d%c%bcındenIf the path leads to goodbye, believe me, I’ve been ready since yesterday,
%c%bcş%c%bcıl%c%bcırse kalp kıymete binmez bu jestlerand if my heart is hurting, these gestures won’t mean a thing.
Kimde kimdedir d%c%b6k%c%bcılmeyen yaşlar ortasındaWho has the answer, standing amidst these unshed tears?
Kalmak ka%cımaksa korkularım olur k%c%c2bus banaIf staying is just running away, then my fears turn into nightmares.
