Her Aşk Katilidir Bir Öncekinin
Kahraman Tazeoğlu
The Melancholic Dance of Love and Loss
Kahraman Tazeoğlu's song "Her Aşk Katilidir Bir Öncekinin" is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the cyclical nature of relationships. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a city shrouded in silence and separation, where the protagonist finds himself reflecting on past loves and the pain they have caused. The imagery of a "windy hill" and "dirty, cold child" evokes a sense of desolation and longing, setting the tone for the rest of the song.
The song delves into the protagonist's inner turmoil, as he grapples with the memories of past relationships and the impact they have had on his life. The lines "Durup durup şiirler yazmak yoluna / Yeni bir yaşam biçimim oldu son günlerde" suggest that writing poetry has become a coping mechanism for him, a way to process his emotions and find solace. The recurring theme of loneliness is evident in the lines "Yastığının altında yalnızlığın var biliyorum / Oysa ben senden bir bardak su istedim," highlighting the protagonist's yearning for connection and understanding.
Tazeoğlu's lyrics also touch on the inevitability of love's end and the pain that follows. The lines "Her katilin aşkı / Her aşkın katili / Bir öncekinin faili / Hep ben olurum" suggest that each love is doomed to fail, and the protagonist sees himself as the common denominator in these failed relationships. The song's melancholic tone is further emphasized by the imagery of "martı leşleri" (seagull carcasses) and "Babilin asma bahçeleri" (the Hanging Gardens of Babylon), symbolizing the decay and unattainability of past loves. Ultimately, the song is a reflection on the bittersweet nature of love, the scars it leaves behind, and the hope for healing and renewal.
