Artist Info
Duman (Fog) is a major Turkish rock band, with style similar to Nick Cave and Madrugada. They mix traditional Turkish folk music with current rock sounds. Duman is one of the legends and has an essence on the Turkish rock scene with their raspy voices, raw performances. Annotations and Meaning "Nerde Benim Kafam" (Where is my Head?) by Duman tackles issues around feeling lost in the world and searching for truth. The question "Ner'de benim kafam?" ("Where is my mind?") portrays a feeling of disarray and lack of clear direction. The main voice sings of being around the world, seeing everything and yet it all feels as if it's come from a dream in its first set of lyrics. This disillusion suggests the defiance to put up with life ("içerim inadına"). Turning the page ("açarım yeni sayfalar") carries this sense of breaking from chaos with a promise for new beginnings. The chorus reinforces the idea of being lost and unable to change. "Ner'de Benim Kafam?" - My Brain, in Continuation and "Ner'de benim gecem?" ("Where is my night?") underlines a constant feeling of confusion and standstill. The second verse goes on with the duality of joy and sorrow ("Bi' dünya güldüm, Bi' dünya ağladım"). A world that seems so far away, keeping the singer drinking to try and rewrite his story. The third verse even emphasizes the cycle of life and death, too ("Bi' dünya öldüm/bi' dünya dirildim — /I died a world/Got birth to another"). This cyclical print further reinforces the idea of finding something real in a transient world. Interpreting the Song as a Mirror Image of Yourself Or, with anyone that feels lost or disconnected: Where Is My Mind Repetition in the song puts you under a spell, just like those recurring thoughts that buzz around a distressed mind. A frank examination of struggling to find your place in what at times can feel like a ludicrous world. Duman relies on strong and powerful visual images in remarkably plain yet appealing language to us. Their music mixes traditional and modern sounds, which aligns well with the identity-surrounded themes behind the search for self in an evolving world. The song tries to get listeners thinking about their own paths in connection with the complete mystery of self-perception.Nerde Benim Kafam by Duman
Bi' dünya gezdim, bi' dünya gördüm
Bu dünya hülya, içerim inadına
Yine salyalar, açarım yeni sayfalar

[Verse 1]
I've traveled a world, I've seen a world
This world is a dream, I drink out of spite
Again, the drool, I open new pages
[Chorus]
Where's my mind, my mind, my mind?
Where's my mind? I can't sober up
Where's my night, my night, my night?
Where's my night? I can't change
[Verse 2]
I've laughed a world, I've cried a world
This world is a dream, I drink out of spite
Again, the drool, I open new pages

Where's my mind, my mind, my mind?
Where's my mind? I can't sober up
Where's my night, my night, my night?
Where's my night? I can't change (Hey)
