To the song a music video was shot, what a man is, the initially sitting on the sofa and takes part in a Turkish game show and win there.
Cevapsız Sorular is a pure love song with harmonious sounds and a sad topic. It is a question that a person completely changed overnight, so nothing seems like it was before. A pair of lovers is widening and only noticed at the end that they were never really together. In German the song is called questions without answers.
Hepsi Bir Nefes begins with the question of what the world has given to man and replied that the soil is "empty" and the sky is pointless. In the second stanza the ever-changing society is attacked. Translated, Hepsi Bir Nefes Everything is a breath
Alişırim Gözlerimi Kapamaya is the fact that the protagonist lives in a dream world and the truth and hypocrisy in the world recognizes as he opens his eyes. He often asked questions for answers to these and was lied to it. Translated, the song I could accustom myself to close my eyes.
The song Evdeki Ses is a cover of a song of the hip hop group Cartel. Is supported by the band Alper Aga.
