It’s Not Easy Being Me

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
I’m just out to find
The better part of me.

I’m more than a bird
I’m more than a plane
I’m more than
Some pretty face beside a train
And it’s not easy to be me.

Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I’ll never see.

It may sound absurd
But don’t be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed
But won’t you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
And it’s not easy to be me.

Up up and away
Away from me, well it’s all right
You can all sleep sound tonight
I’m not crazy…or anything.

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
Men weren’t meant to ride
With clouds between their knees.

I’m only a man
In a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one-way street
Only a man in a phony red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me…
Inside of me…
Inside of me…
Yeah, inside of me..
Inside of me…

I’m only a man in a phony red sheet
I’m only a man looking for a dream
I’m only a man in a phony red sheet
And it’s not easy…
It’s not easy to be
Me…

Mirror

While we look into the mirror
We shall burn and die
We watch ourselves turn to dust
Don’t be shocked
Face the truth
For the truth shall not face us
But our face will see the truth…   

Anadolu’da Aşk

Onlar elele dolaşmak, bankta sarmaş dolaş oturmak zorunda değiller. Romantizm mum ışığında yemek yemek olarak empoze edildiği için böyle sahneler yaşanmıyor tabi. Belki romantizmi tarlada çapa çapalarken güneşten terleyen eşini görüp “vay benim helalim be”,  ya da “vay yiğidim benim” demektir. Bağdat caddesinde üstü açık arabayla dolaşanlar mı romantik, römorkun arkasında naylon çadır altında, düğüne giderken elele tutuşanlar mı romantik? Hiç kimse “Hanım bi çay getir” derken ki sevgi mi daha yalın ve üst boyutta “Canım seni öyle çok seviyorum ki, rüyamda gördüm kan ter içinde uyandım, sensizlikte boğuluyorum” gibi süslü lafla söyleyeninki mi daha yalın bir sevgi bilemez. Ama gözler bir ölçüyse onlar birbirini daha çok seviyorlar. Aslolan biriyle bir ömrü yaşamayı göze almaksa bence aşk Anadolu’da var.

Angel

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There’s always some reason
To feel not good enough
And it’s hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memory seeps from my veins
Let me be empty
Oh, and weightless and maybe
I’ll find some peace tonight

In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You’re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There’s vultures and thieves at your back
Storm keeps on twisting
Keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
Don’t make no difference
Escaping one last time
It’s easier to believe
In this sweet madness
Oh, this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees

In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You’re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here
You’re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here…
