Teoman, one of the most popular voices in Turkish rock music of the new millennium, is known for his lyrics that tell stories of characters who are strong yet fragile—sometimes humorous, but mostly tragic; ordinary, yet magical. His songs give voice to the loneliness and the unfillable void that urban life brings—an emptiness that cannot be cured by any human connection and is often the root of existential troubles. In his own words, he aimed to create a "musical persona" and consistently told the stories of that character.
