Jalanku Masih Panjang*

Wahai perasaan
Kau buat pagiku jadi mendung, soreku jadi kelam
Kau buat siangku jadi gelap, dan malam semakin gulita
Kau buat beberapa menit lalu aku gembira,
untuk kemudian bersedih hati

Wahai perasaan
Kau buat aku berlari di tempat
Semakin berusaha berlari, kaki tetap tak melangkah
Kau buat aku berteriak dalam senyap
Kau buat aku menangis tanpa suara
Kau buat aku tergugu entah mau apalagi

Wahai perasaan
Kau buat aku seperti orang gila
Mengunjungi sesuatu setiap saat, untuk memastikan sesuatu
Padahal buat apa? 
Ingin tahu ini, itu, untuk kemudian kembali sedih
Padahal sungguh buat apa?

Wahai perasaan
Kau buat aku seperti orang bingung
Semua serba salah
Kau buat aku tidak selera makan, malas melakukan apapun
Memutar lagu itu2 saja,
Mencoret2 buku tanpa tujuan
Mudah lupa dan ceroboh sekali

Wahai perasaan
Cukup sudah
Kita selesaikan sekarang juga
Karena,
Jalanku masih panjang
Aku berhak atas petualangan yang lebih seru

Selamat tinggal
Jalanku sungguh masih panjang....

Kuburan Mimpi

Paling sedih itu ketika melewati pekuburan mimpi

Semua orang mengubur dalam harapan

dan menisankannya tanpa nama.

Disana mimpi terperangkap dalam tanah.

Tanpa kau sadar, senyummu tertinggal sedikit disana.

Mimpimu mau dibawa ke mana?

Pekuburan?

Atau kau gantung di awan?

Mimpi harusnya bersayap.

Ia terbang melintasi langitmu.

Dan kamu mengikutinya, setapak demi setapak, meniti jejak.

Kalau mimpi tersesat, siapa yang akan menemukannya?

Siapa yang akan mencarinya kalau bukan tekadmu sendiri?

Kulewati lagi pekuburan mimpi.

Terdengar teriakan menyayat hati.

Aku menutup mata dan berkata pada kepala.

Aku tak mau mimpiku berakhir di sana.

Aku tak mau, kamu berdiri di sana.

(SADGENIC - Rahne Putri)

#np Westlife - Beautiful in White

Not sure if you know this
But when we first met
I got so nervous 
I couldn't speak
In that very moment I found the one and
my life had found it's missing piece

So as long as I live I love you
will heaven hold you
You look so beautiful in white
And from now to my very last breath
This day I'll cherish
You look so beautiful in white
Tonight..

What we have is timeless
My love is endless
And with this scream I say to the world
You're my every reason
You're all that I believe in
with all my heart I mean every word

So as long as I live I love you
will heaven hold you
You look so beautiful in white
And from now to my very last breath
This day I'll cherish
You look so beautiful in white
Tonight...

So beautiful in white
Tonight...
And if our daughter's what our future holds
I hope she has you're eyes
finds love like you and I did
Yeah, I wish she falls in love
and I will let her go
I'll walk her down the aisle
She'll look so beautiful in white.....

You look so beautiful in white
So as long as I live I love you
will heaven hold you
You look so beautiful in white

And from now to my very last breath
This day I'll cherish
You look so beautiful in white
Tonight

kalau jodoh, harus miripkah?

Hai, selamat bertemu lagi

Aku sudah lama menghindarimu

Sialku lah kau ada di sini

Sungguh tak mudah bagiku

Rasanya tak ingin bernafas lagi

Tegak berdiri di depanmu kini

Sakitnya menusuki jantung ini

Melawan cinta yang ada di hati

Dan upayaku tahu diri

Tak slamanya berhasil pabila kau muncul terus muncul begini

Tanpa pernah kita bisa bersama

Pergilah

Menghilang sajalah, lagi...

Bye, selamat berpisah lagi, meski masih ingin memandangimu

Lebih baik kau tiada di sini

Sungguh tak mudah bagiku

Menghentikan segala khayalan gila

Jika kau ada dan ku cuma bisa meradang menjadi yang di sisimu

Membenci nasibku yang tak berubah

(#np Tahu Diri - Maudy Ayunda)

(One of) STEVE JOBS'S quotes

“No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And  yet death is the destination we all share.  No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Sore Tugu Pancoran - Iwan Fals

Si Budi kecil kuyup menggigil

Menahan dingin tanpa jas hujan

Di simpang jalan Tugu Pancoran

Tunggu pembeli jajakan koran

Menjelang magrib hujan tak reda

Si Budi murung menghitung laba

Surat kabar sore dijual malam

Selepas isya melangkah pulang

Anak sekecil itu berkelahi dengan waktu

Demi satu impian yang kerap ganggu tidurmu

Anak sekecil itu tak sempat nikmati waktu

Dipaksa pecahkan karang lemah jarimu terkepal

Cepat langkah waktu pagi menunggu

Si Budi sibuk siapkan buku

Tugas dari sekolah selesai setengah

Sanggupkah si Budi diam di dua sisi?

Anak sekecil itu berkelahi dengan waktu

Demi satu impian yang kerap ganggu tidurmu

Anak sekecil itu tak sempat nikmati waktu

Dipaksa pecahkan karang lemah jarimu terkepal

(Mudik, Magelang-Yogyakarta. Besok, dan mungkin besok lagi, entah akan berapa jumlah kalian)

I Won’t Give Up – Jason Mraz

when i look into your eyes
it's like watching the night sky
or a beautiful sunrise
there's so much they hold
and just like them old stars
i see that you've come so far
to be right where you are
how old is your soul?

i won't give up on us
even if the skies get rough
i'm giving you all my love
i'm still looking up

and when you're needing your space
to do some navigating
i'll be here patiently waiting
to see what you find

'cause even the stars they burn
some even fall to the earth
we've got a lot to learn
god knows we're worth it
no, i won't give up

i don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
i'm here to stay and make the difference that i can make
our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
the tools and gifts we got yeah, we got a lot at stake
and in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
for us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
we had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
i had to learn what i've got, and what i'm not
and who i am

i won't give up on us
even if the skies get rough
i'm giving you all my love
i'm still looking up
still looking up.

i won't give up on us
god knows i'm tough enough
we've got a lot to learn
god knows we're worth it

i won't give up on us
even if the skies get rough
i'm giving you all my love
i'm still looking up




Talking ‘bout Jason Mraz, seems that he will always be ‘ideaful’ primarily in his lyrics. Some tend to express about certain things, but considerably (also) meaningful if it is interpreted for another thing. Just like how “i don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily” convey that being strong is what we need to do by facing lots of problems, and how “i'm here to stay and make the difference that i can make” state that it is crucial to maintain in which we are belong to as well as try to have such an out-of-the-box thinking to do some breakthrough.




And in the end, a song is not merely how great the music but also how deep the lyrics imply :’)
