Description
The song smells of sea salt, cigarette smoke and bitter laughter after too long a silence. In it, sandcastles are built against the waves, as if fragility were also a strength. The words sound like a challenge, then like a weary confession: the world is a stage, roles are handed out for free, but everyone writes their own script, most often on scraps of torn drafts.
There is irony in this story of teenage stubbornness mixed with the wisdom of a person beaten down by life: ‘yes, everything will pass,’ ‘yes, everything will be fine,’ but while it is still here, you can drink, swear, and even believe for a second that your heart will endure. This is not about despair, but about a strange stubbornness - picking yourself up again when the wave is already at your feet.

Lyrics and translation
Original
Kumdan kaleler yaptı kin hatlar.
Dalgaların alıp gideceğini bile bile. İndir yanıma gel benim ol ya da öldür beni. Nerde sende o yürek?
Kumdan kaleler yaptı kin hatlar. Dalgaların alıp gideceğini bile bile.
İndir yanıma gel benim ol ya da öldür beni. Nerde sende o yürek?
Hayat dediğin bir sahne. Biz de oyuncuyuz madem hislerimiz falan bahane.
Almayacaksın birini kalpe. Belki elmadan ısırmasaydı düşmeyecekti Adem dünyaya.
Hiç olmasaydık ya ölecekmişiz artık onunla. Olmayacaksa daha kocaman hayat o zaman.
Uzama lan modunu pick up karavan. İki üç bira, bir sigara lan sonra topla kendini.
-Bir tane canın var. -Kumdan kaleler yaptı kin hatlar.
Dalgaların alıp gideceğini bile bile.
İndir yanıma gel benim ol ya da öldür beni. Nerde sende o yürek? Kumdan kaleler yaptı kin hatlar.
Dalgaların alıp gideceğini bile bile. İndir yanıma gel benim ol ya da öldür beni.
Nerde sende o -yürek? -Ah!
Sakin ol Turgut. Sigaranı söndür artık ciğerlerini söktün.
Sen de git takıl biriyle ilk kanı o döktü. İstifayı verdin artık geri dönen göktü.
Pis kokulu kavruk ten geçmişimde saklı. Defter dolu şiirlerim her birini yaktım.
Devrelerim atmak üzere yumruğumu kastım. Galiba sevme dedim sen yanarsın diyen kankam haklı.
Kumdan kaleler yaptı kin hatlar. Dalgaların alıp gideceğini bile bile.
İndir yanıma gel benim ol ya da öldür beni. Nerde sende o yürek?
Kumdan kaleler yaptı kin hatlar. Dalgaların alıp gideceğini bile bile.
İndir yanıma gel benim ol ya da öldür beni. Nerde sende o yürek? Yürek, yürek, yürek, yürek.
Kumdan kaleler yaptı kin hatlar.
Dalgaların alıp gideceğini bile bile.
İndir yanıma gel benim ol ya da öldür beni. Nerde sende o yürek? Kumdan kaleler yaptı kin hatlar.
Dalgaların alıp gideceğini bile bile. İndir yanıma gel benim ol ya da öldür beni.
Nerde sende o yürek?

Hatred lines built sand castles.
Knowing that the waves will take you away. Come down, come to me, be mine or kill me. Where is that heart in you?
Hatred lines built sand castles. Knowing that the waves will take you away.
Come down, come to me, be mine or kill me. Where is that heart in you?
A stage you call life. Since we are also actors, our feelings are just an excuse.
You won't take someone to your heart. Maybe Adam would not have fallen into the world if he had not bitten the apple.
If we had never existed, we would have died with him. If not, then life will be bigger.
Pick up caravan with extension lan mode. Have two or three beers and a cigarette, then pull yourself together.
-You have only one life. -He built sand castles, lines of hatred.
Knowing that the waves will take you away.
Come down, come to me, be mine or kill me. Where is that heart in you? Hatred lines built sand castles.
Knowing that the waves will take you away. Come down, come to me, be mine or kill me.
Where is that heart in you? -Ah!
Calm down, Turgut. Put out your cigarette, you've ruined your lungs.
Go and hang out with someone. He shed the first blood. You resigned, now it was the sky that came back.
The smelly parched skin is hidden in my past. I burned every one of my notebooks full of poems.
I clenched my fist to throw a punch. I guess my buddy who said I said don't love it and you'll get burned is right.
Hatred lines built sand castles. Knowing that the waves will take you away.
Come down, come to me, be mine or kill me. Where is that heart in you?
Hatred lines built sand castles. Knowing that the waves will take you away.
Come down, come to me, be mine or kill me. Where is that heart in you? Heart, heart, heart, heart.

Knowing that the waves will take you away.
Come down, come to me, be mine or kill me. Where is that heart in you? Hatred lines built sand castles.
Knowing that the waves will take you away. Come down, come to me, be mine or kill me.
Where is that heart in you?
