[Verse]
Bir melek vardı
Aşkı fısıldardı
Elimde o büyülü ellerin hayali kaldı
Uyku imkansız
Umut vicdansız
Güneş bile dedi ki kendine: "Doğmak anlamsız"

[Chorus]
Ağladım delice
Elimde boş bir şişe
Kutladım bu gece sarılmanı
Başka kollara
Yapayalnız biçare
Ölüyorsam kime ne
Benzedim bu gece
Yine boş sokaklara

2000s Party Vibes
Parties and Heartbreaks 💔

Florian Nivelle, alias Skizy, was a young man like any other who liked to party
and have a laugh with his mates.

But following a disappointment in love, and the consumption of cannabis,
from one day to the next (in the space of a few puffes) something inside him broke.
He had not yet realised that he had become schizophrenic
a serious mental illness

What followed was a veritable obstacle course
supported this music that is rap
by which he was moved, captivated, touched to the depths of his being
He often says that it wasn't he who got into music in the first place
But that it was music that came to him...

Skizy is a rapper and beatmaker

Florian Nivelle alias Skizy était un jeune comme les autres qui aimait fairela fête 
et rigoler avec ses potes. 

Mais à la suite d'une déception sentimentale, et de consommation de cannabis, 
du jour au lendemain, (En l'espace de quelques taffes) quelque chose se brisa en lui
Il n'eut pas encore compris qu'il était devenu schizophrène 
une maladie mentale grave 

S'en suivit alors un véritable parcours du combattant 
qui fut soutenu par cette musique qu'est le Rap
par laquelle il fut ému, captivé, touché au plus profond de lui
Il dit souvent que ce n'est pas lui qui en n'est venu à faire de la musique 
Mais que c'est la musique qui est venu a lui... 

Skizy est Rappeur et Beatmaker
