“One Side of Me” – An Emotionally-Charged Inner Journey with MesenArts Music
🎧 “One Side of Me” – An Emotionally-Charged Inner Journey with MesenArts Music
MesenArts Music’s newly released track, “One Side of Me (Bir Yanım)”, is a rare gem in today’s musical landscape—deeply personal and emotionally raw. Delivered by a male vocal, this piece explores the emotional tension between regret and hope, portraying a soul torn between two conflicting halves. It’s not just a song; it’s a midnight monologue of the soul wrapped in blues.
📝 Musical and Emotional Depth
This slow-paced track in A minor captures the classic pulse of blues.
Wailing electric guitars, the steady hum of an upright bass, and warm Hammond organ chords create an atmosphere that feels like “a man speaking to his past in the silence of night.”
What truly stands out is the vocal delivery: slightly raspy, vulnerable, yet firm. It's as if the singer is standing right in front of you, holding nothing back. The production avoids glossy effects, leaving space for honesty.
🔍 Lyrics: Duality, Loss, and Survival
The lyrics paint a poetic portrait of a soul divided:
-
“Stop asking how I’ve been…” is both a guarded protest and a silent scream.
-
“One side laughs out loud, the other wants to cry...” perfectly captures emotional contradiction.
-
And the bridge line—“One side is a grave… The other, a garden”—is a haunting metaphor for internal conflict.
The juxtaposition is powerful: a child longing for death alongside a sprout yearning for sunlight. And the vocal delivers it all with gentle, raw sincerity.
🎯 Why It Stands Out
-
Emotional depth: Each word is carefully chosen and poetically sharp.
-
Stylistic integrity: Lyrics and instrumentation flow seamlessly in true blues tradition.
-
Universality: Themes of loss, rebirth, and the human condition speak to every listener.
🏁 Final Thoughts
“One Side of Me (Bir Yanım)” is a defining track in the MesenArts Music catalog. It’s not just something to hear—it’s something to feel. Echoing in the darkness, it invites listeners to confront their own fractured pieces.
🔔 Recommendation: Put on your headphones, close your eyes, and let that voice guide you. You might just meet your own “other side.”
lyrics of the song: ©MESEN
[Verse 1] Stop asking how I’ve been... Even if my lips say "I'm fine," One side of me’s like a believer Whose sacred truth’s been cursed. Angry... wild... storming inside. I want to scream a million times— At regrets, delays, And those bitter, last apologies. [Verse 2] But there's this other side— A newborn child, crying, Pure and soft, still full of hope. While the first seeks death On the edge of a cliff, This other side grows like a sprout, Reaching up from the soil, Hungry for the sun. [Chorus] One side laughs out loud, The other wants to cry. One side breaks, The other tries to rise. You might call it “awareness,” I call it “noticing the unlived.” You say “friendship,” like black earth— I say “you”... Just you. [Bridge] One side of me curses fate... The other forgives it all. One side is a grave... The other, a garden. [Verse 3] Don't ask again... don't you see? One side is fire, The other is rain. One wants to run, The other wants to stay. You might call it healing... But I call it surviving. [Chorus] One side laughs out loud, The other wants to cry. One side breaks, The other tries to rise. You say “friendship,” like black earth— I say “you”... Still you... [Outro] Still you... Still you...
