Kelede

In 'Kelede,' DEKKO delves into the complexities of a tumultuous relationship intertwined with addiction and emotional turmoil. The song opens with a vivid scene of indulgence, mixing substances like beer, coffee, and marijuana, setting the stage for a narrative of confusion and emotional pain. The artist reflects on a past relationship that has left him scarred, describing his former lover as 'salt in his wounds.' Despite the pain, he admits to still being drawn to her, highlighting the paradox of being tired of the relationship but not of her physical presence.

The chorus reveals a sense of helplessness and desperation. DEKKO expresses his inability to resist his ex-lover's allure, even wishing for a dramatic end to avoid falling back into her arms. This repeated plea underscores the internal conflict between his desire and the recognition of the relationship's toxicity. The imagery of being shot and buried again symbolizes a desire for a definitive escape from the cycle of pain and addiction.

In the second verse, DEKKO acknowledges his stubbornness and the futility of trying to fix the relationship. He describes their interactions as intense and exhausting, yet he remains drawn to her, bringing wine and drugs as a means to cope. The song also touches on the theme of selling one's soul, as DEKKO metaphorically describes giving up a part of himself for the fleeting pleasure of being with her. The repeated lines about trying to cut the relationship from the root and the devilish allure of his ex-lover emphasize the struggle to break free from a destructive cycle.

'Kelede' is a raw and honest portrayal of the complexities of love, addiction, and emotional pain. DEKKO's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man caught in a web of desire and self-destruction, unable to fully escape the grip of a toxic relationship.
