Neyim Var ki

Sagopa Kajmer's song 'Neyim Var ki' delves deep into the complexities and dualities of human existence. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a metaphorical garden, where one side is lush and blooming while the other is barren and desolate. This garden represents the contrasting experiences and emotions that define our lives. The imagery of a rainbow juxtaposed with blindness further emphasizes the theme of duality, suggesting that beauty and despair often coexist. The artist reflects on being caught in the middle, neither fully succeeding nor completely failing, but always striving and enduring hardships.

The song also touches on the futility of human efforts and the inevitability of suffering. The lines 'Çölde kazanılan zaferler hepsi kanla yazılır' (Victories in the desert are all written in blood) highlight the harsh realities of life and the sacrifices required for success. Sagopa Kajmer criticizes the human tendency towards conflict, suggesting that if people were not foolish, victories could be achieved peacefully. The recurring theme of prayer and the lack of divine intervention ('Cümle derde ol deva diye dua ederdi günde bin defa / Fayda yok! Bu çok fena') underscores a sense of hopelessness and the relentless nature of life's challenges.

In the chorus, the artist questions what he has besides rap, indicating that music is his only solace and escape from the harsh realities of life. The mention of 'fincan kahvem hatrına saydım' (I counted for the sake of my cup of coffee) and 'bir yudumluk aşkım deli sarhoş' (my one-sip love is mad drunk) suggests fleeting moments of joy and love that are overshadowed by larger struggles. The song concludes with a reflection on legacy and the desire to leave behind meaningful words and music, even as the artist grapples with feelings of defeat and uncertainty about the future.
