Lately, the songs we heard in the radio, especially the Indonesian ones, tend to have weird lyrics. Just look at the one below, taken from the song “Ego Kah Aku” by Wali Band:
“Salahkah aku mencintaimu, Walau kutahu kutak dihatimu
Egokah aku memilikimu, Walau kutahu kau tak memilihku
Kuharap tuhan cabut nyawamu, Agar tak ada yang milikimu”
It is really scary when you love someone so much until you wish him or her dead so no one else can have him or her. This must be so very true love. NOT! And look at the band’s name, WALI Band... what an irony!
Another one that caught my attention, is this song, “Camelia” by Irwan Shah...
“kau wanita terhebat, yang pernah singgah di hatiku
kau wanita yang tegar, aku mohon lupakanlah aku,
sudahlah jangan menangis lagi, ku rasa cukup sampai di sini
mungkin di suatu saat nanti, kau temui cinta yang sejati
sudah cepat lupakanlah aku, jangan pernah ungkit masa lalu
ku takut kekasihku pun tahu, kau pernah menjadi simpananku”
On first hearing, the song seems so so very sweet. Talking about the lady by being the best he has ever met yet just good enough to be a substitute, a SIMPANAN. Hey that’s like saying Micheal Owen is the best striker Newcastle has, yet putting him on the subs bench. I am sure the lady must feel so flattered. NOT!
The next one from “Kekasih yang tak dianggap” from Kertas Band....
“aku mentari tapi tak menghangatkanmu, aku pelangi tak memberi warna di hidupmu
aku sang bulan tak menerangi malammu, aku lah bintang yang hilang ditelan kegelapan
selalu itu yg kau ucapkan padaku......
sebagai kekasih yang tak dianggap, aku hanya bisa mencoba mengalah
menahan setiap amarah, aku sang bulan tak menerangi malammu
aku lah bintang yang hilang ditelan kegelapan”
Even the title already makes you smile. Just to get yourself called a lover or “Kekasih” you give yourself the self proclaimed title “Kekasih yang tak dianggap”. But the truth is “kekasih yang tak dianggap”is equivalent to being a nobody to her... Zero!
But the best must be the song “Kekasih Gelapku” by Ungu .... (hey I love this song... very nice melody, good karaoke song for those with suara katak like me)
“Ku mencintaimu, lebih dari apapun, Meskipun tiada satu orang pun yang tahu
Ku mencintaimu, sedalam-dalam hatiku, Meskipun engkau hanya kekasih gelapku..”
If someone requests that song for you on the radio (surprisingly a lot at the height of the song’s popularity), you better start thinking and saying “what a a load of bull!”. Ha ha ha .....
The world is indeed getting “weirder” and “weirder” .............
