Hedonutopia talks about Maymun Kral

Maymun Kral, The Monkey King, symbolically talks about the first-ever king in history, and how the power has been hierarchically misunderstood ever since. Basically, we try to leave the semantics to our listeners as much as possible because we believe everyone needs to experience their own feelings along the way. 

The song appeared in our debut studio album, Ucube Dizayn (2016). We recorded it in our home studio. It was finalized after Metin Bozkurt’s (sound engineer who works with the famous Turkish rock band, Replikas) touches during the mixing phase. 

Maymun Kral has become our most viewed song so far. It is special for us because it is one of the first songs that our listeners got to know the band through. The fact that we have never officially unveiled the lyrics of the song makes the song even more special for us because everybody at our concerts sings along making up their own lyrics to the song. 

Finally, you can check out our Spotify list called Hedonukarma to find out our inspirations or what we mostly listen to. 

Unofficial Lyrics: Maymun Kral

Ben iyi biriydim
Ben iyi biriydim eskiden ben
Gizlenirdim
Hep gizlenirdim her şeyden ben

İyi biriydim
Ben iyi biriydim eskiden ben
Gizlenirdim
Hep gizlenirdim her şeyden ben

Taştan ağaçlarda, ıssız ormanda
Yüzü bir başka
Öfken bulsun seni
Kendinden başka

Taştan ağaçlarda, ıssız ormanda
Yüzü bir başka
Öfken bulsun seni
Kendinden başka

Sonsuz boşlukta
Kendinden başka
Sonsuz isyanda
