Sepuluh Tahun (lyric)

by Raygava 2005

Sepuluh Tahun

Tahukah bahwa dari dulu aku memuja dirimu
Dan kusimpan dalam hati
Tahun demi tahun tlah berganti
Entah mengapa kamu masih disini

Ingat masa SMA aku sering jemput dia
Kutunggunya di luar sekolah
Bertahun-tahun aku mencoba
Coba tuk temukan apa yang salah

*Tapi entah mengapa slama ini dirimu tak pernah
menjadi milikku
Dan kini kau akan menikahi dirinya.. takkan kubiarkan terjadi..

Selama waktu masih tersedia
Ku akan pastikan dirimu untukku
Sepuluh tahun kutunggu dirimu
Untuk bersamaku ... slamanya

Entah sudah berapa pria dan dan berapa wanita yang hadir di dalam hidup kita
Pernahkah terlintas di benakmu bila aku menjadi kisah cintamu

Datang dan Pergi (lyric)

by Raygava, 2005

Datang dan Pergi

Jangan engkau pergi dulu
Berikanlah padaku
Sebuah kesempatan
Tuk jelaskan padamu

Sebelum kau melangkah pergi dariku lagi
Tunggulah sebentar saja
Biarkan aku bicara

Walau semua tak percaya
Betapa aku setia
Aku selalu menanti
Walau kau datang dan pergi

Jika nanti kau kembali, aku kan ada disini
Ku harap suatu hari nanti,
Engkau berhenti berlari

*Walau aku terombang-ambing dalam cintamu
Namun ku akan setia menunggu
Bila engkau memutuskan tuk datang dan pergi
Namun ku akan senantiasa disini

Jangan engkau pergi lagi
tinggalkan aku sendiri
Walau ku tlah terbiasa
kehilangan dirimu

Sebelum kau melangkah pergi dariku lagi
Tunggulah sebentar saja
Biarkan aku bicara

*Walau aku terombang-ambing dalam cintamu
Namun ku akan setia menunggu
Bila engkau memutuskan tuk datang dan pergi
Namun ku akan senantiasa disini

Cara Pergi ke Bandung

Terbawa ku teringat kan masa lalu
Namun tak kan pernah ada mesin waktu
Tuk mengantarku pergi dari tempat ini
Menembus jaman dan mengenang dirimu

Betapa kita sudah berubah kawan
Selalu terpaku melihat masa depan
Namun diam-diam aku masih mencoba mengenang
Dan menemukan lagi jalan untuk kembali

Temu temukan cara tuk pergi ke Bandung
Walau banyak hambatan dan langit pun terus mendung
Namun akan kutemukan jalan yang tepat
Walau perlu waktu ...aku akan menunggu

Ingat saat dulu kusering merenung
Dari tempat kududuk menatap gunung
Namun itu masa lalu seperti kata temanku
Tapi ku tak peduli, aku ingin kembali

Temu temukan cara tuk pergi ke Bandung
Walau banyak hambatan dan langit pun terus mendung
Namun akan kutemukan jalan yang tepat
Walau perlu waktu ...aku akan menunggu

Sekarang semua sudah sangat berbeda
Tak seperti saat kita masih muda
Namun diam-diam aku masih terus mencoba
Dan menemukan lagi jalan untuk kembali

Temu temukan cara tuk pergi ke Bandung
Walau banyak hambatan dan langit pun terus mendung
Namun akan kutemukan jalan yang tepat
Walau perlu waktu ...aku akan menunggu
Temu temukan cara tuk pergi ke Bandung
Walau banyak hambatan dan langit pun terus mendung
Namun akan kutemukan jalan yang tepat
Walau perlu waktu ...aku akan menunggu

The Weirdos (Episode 1: The Weird Broken Woman)

In the following series of posts, I will introduce you to the world of weirdos....
There are so many types of weirdos in this world (n i've been seeing much more of 'em in the past year or so..). So something must be wrong with the world. You could be a weirdo yourself... hell, i could even be a weirdo. (definitely a weirdo to the weirds!).
__________________________________________________________________
The Weird Broken Woman

Ohhh she's so weird... she's so damn weird...
That's because she never knew what she wants. Always obsessed by the ideal world pegged in her mind. But her ideal world may not be ideal at all. Being accustomed to lies throughout her life, she may not know what is real and what is not, which ones are the truth and which ones are sweettalks...
Finding light (dats what she thinks) when it is actually a lie. Finding happiness (dats what she also thinks) when it's actually a cover up of her loneliness. Finding freedom when it's actually her road to pandemonium...

She has been broken (not by me that is, I've only been tryin to give another chance to someone who has f*cked up bad in life,.. and gonna continue so). Or maybe her brain is also broken? Cz, doesn't it need only a mere logic to understand those differences?.. Well, she has been broken, and she is weird. The only question is whether i should put the word 'therefore' between 'and' and 'she', or not. . .?? (see? ... u need brain to understand the last sentence!)

Do i feel sad? yes..
Cz I know she's not happy.. cz i know she's falling apart. Cz i know she's just too comfortable in her own world of lies, deceit, falsified happiness, and denials. She will say she was hurt, and that has been a major excuse for pretty much everything, but nothing's gonna change if she keeps hiding in her 'comfort zone' of false happiness. She's in an abyss, she has been,.... and maybe in it she will always be.

"Remember,... the light at the end of the tunnel, may be you!.." (the outro of "Amazing - Aerosmith")
yeah yeah.. i know it may be me... but i think she will still be stuck in the tunnel, til i dunno when.

The Weirdos (Episode 2: The Weird Suicidal-Sissy Man)

The Weird Suicidal-Sissy Man

Just for a case study:
There is (or was? maybe he's dead now?) a strange guy. And what makes him strange is bcoz he's quite tall. I'd say around 6'0'' or 6'1". He is skinny, with a pony tail on the back of his hair. He has beards and moustaches on his face, wears a tight jeans btw.. hahaa... but,... he acts like a woman!
Not really act like a woman, as you'd see gays (the bitches) do. But he's so sensitive that i'd say he's more sissy than a woman!.... hahhahhahhaa

He had (or maybe have) this crush on an-also-weird woman (we'll discuss abt her next episode), but dunno what happened, he just couldn't manage to get this girl to be his girlfriend (well, maybe he should, then they would be the weirdest couple and they should have weird childrens, and live on an island by themselves and create a new weirdo colony.. hahahhaha.. this is a joke i hv with my friends btw). Well anyway, he's so possesive and strangely over-attached to this girl, that if something happened, if they have a quarrel, then he would go 'ngambek' and cause uneasiness to all his surroundings.

When the girl (drunk) wanted me to accompany her to the bathroom (in a club somewhere in Kemang few mths ago), and pulled my hand, this guy suddenly tapped me in the back.
He said,"take a good care of her!"..
I was drunk,.. but dude, 'pliss deh'! I could still see how pathetic you were!.. What?? couldnt get her? well that's ur problem!.. and u wanna act like her 'best friend' all this time????.. ohhh mannn.. that is just what all those sissy men do! make your 'gebetan' your best friend!.. well dont!..
siissy.... sissyy... sissy... hahahahha!!..

another time, i was gonna take this girl for dinner,.. and suddenly he seemed to be very very jealous, and got really 'ngambek' once again. This girl then felt uneasy, thinking what could make her 'best friend' mad at her?.. And I was so sick (of them) that after that event I didn't want to have anything to do with those two weirdos. but no.. this girl's episode will come next.. so this time, it's abt this pathetic guy first!..

What's worse.. a few weeks later, this guy started to terrorise my friend (another girl). He said he is all fucked up and he wanted to die. The day after he sent another text to my friends saying he was ready if he should die tomorrow... hahahhaha..
It's just too bad, my friend was thinking of replying the text with the following, but decided not to: "Alhamdulillah, we as human should always be prepared!".. hahhahah
oohhhh shitt... this guy was just the freakiest and weirdest guy i've ever met. Later on, he became clingy to this friend of mine..(he used to like her as well).. ohh ohhhh./.. so weiirrrdddddd.. and so girlyyyy!!

Damn... i'm having trouble describing the events in words!...

________________________________________________________________________
Well, what this guy represent is a person, a man, who is basically a loser!.. or maybe he's not a man?.. hahahha
-He couldn't get women to be his girlfriends, so he made them his 'best friends'. this is just what losers do.
-He's always jealous when the girl went out with a guy, and he always go 'ngambek' sendiri. hahahhaha.. loserr !!.. hahhahaha
-He has a destructive mood that can kill the fun mood whenever all the guys r hangin out.
it's like he has this big signboard with blinking lamps on his forehead, saying "NO FUN!"
hahhahahhahahhaha...
-He exaggerates alot. saying he's ready to die and all. pliss deh.. life is just so worthy, that u'd be a total freak to mention 'wanting to die' to get people's sympathy. U wanna be suicidal?.. well then what r u doin here? go ahead and die!.. it'd be much better for others!.. hahahha

ahhhh enough!.. can't say anymore!..
well if u think u r like him.. then don;t do it!.. if you can;t get your women, don't make them your best friends! (unless u can really stop hoping alias 'ngarep').. mood disorder and big exaggeration are just fatal mistakes which make u even more pathetic and even more like losers!! Cz friends don;t like it (that's why u don't have friends, i guess.. hahhaha)
loserr ..loser.. loseeerr..!! freak freak freaaaakk!!!.. hahhahahhah
weirdoooooooooo..

have u seen similar cases? i bet u have. cz i'm sure there are quite a lot of ppl like this guy i picked on.

Thrills of Love (lyric)

Thrills of Love

I'm missing the thrills of love, tonight..
I'm looking forward for some loving delight

I want some more of your smiles, your hugs and chocolate kisses...
that's the kick of love

I want some more of those niggles, tingles, missing you...
Oh that's why that's why

I'm missing the thrills of love ..
Like a pirate missing his treasure cove ..

I want some more of your smiles, your hugs and chocolate kisses...
that's the kick of love
I want some more of those niggles, tingles, missing you...
Oh that's the thrills of love

I want some more of your smiles, your hugs and chocolate kisses...
that's the kick of love
I want some more of those niggles, tingles, missing you...
Oh that's the thrills of love

Where I Belong (lyric)

WHERE I BELONG

Lately I've been thinking
Staring at my bedroom ceiling
Outside is raining
And it seems that it will keep on falling
And my empty thoughts are running to seek refuge from my fears
of being alone

Lost in the crowds of the mystified people
Standing by myself on an empty train to Heathrow
Looks like I'm just the only one who feels like runnning away
listen....

I'm just aching for the love before
The ray of sun at half past four
The warmth of kisses from loving lips
It's just a place... Where I belong

opening the window waiting for the snow
I'm screaming in my heart counting months to go
Ohh eventhough..
Inside the rush of people but I still feel lonely wherever I go
I'm thinking...

I'm just aching for the love before
The ray of sun at half past four
The warmth of kisses from loving lips
It's just a place... Where I belong

Oh I wanted to speak and I just couldn't sleep to the end
And I'm drowning to deep need to go back to where I came
My hurt my pain
it will still remain
if I'm far away .. away from you



comments by Raygava:
Where I Belong is about love!... the love for your home (wherever it may be, in my case it is Indonesia). No matter where I am, stranded alone.. I will never forget how beautiful my country is. The shades of the trees, the people who know you best, the bright sunshine, etc.etc.!.. words are not enough!
This song came out straight from my heart. I wanted people to understand how it feels to love your country, especially when you are far away.
Standing by myself on an empty train to Heathrow
Looks like I'm just the only one who feels like runnning away
--> describes how almost all indonesian (then, when i was in London), loved London so much. None wants to go back. People who have money returned home that winter break. I didn't have much, but I missed my home. I did not see why Indonesians have to hate their own country so much. Most Indonesians who live abroad speak good things of the country they live in. Why can't they see the good things in Indonesia? Most Indonesians who live abroad in developed countries would like to stay forever in that country. why? Is Indonesia not good enough?..
Do they forget how warm the sunshine is? the people is? the food is?..
That winter end of 2004, I swear I wanted to hop onto the Picadilly line straight to heathrow. But i knew it's only gonna be myself (the only Indonesian) standing there wishing to return home.

BERHENTI DARIMU

Berlari darimu, sampai kapan itu takkan pernah membantu
Menepis dirimu, terlalu sulit dilakukan saat itu

Lagi aku mencoba untuk alihkan dirimu dari pikirku
Kau kembali menghantui lorong-lorong mimpiku
Satu yang harus engkau tahu,

Renungan malam ini takkan menjadi berarti bila kau masih belum sendiri
Percuma aku berdiri menghabiskan tenaga di hati
Ku harus berhenti darimu

Darimu, kudapatkan semua
Darimu, engkau impianku semata
Seluruh masa, berlalu hilang langsung seketika

Hari-hari masih terasa terlalu menyiksa, aku bertanya
Kau kembali menghantui pelosok isi jiwa
Kukatakan satu hal saja

Renungan malam ini takkan menjadi berarti bila kau masih belum sendiri
Percuma aku berdiri menghabiskan tenaga di hati
Ku harus berhenti mencintaimu

Terlalu usang hatiku menantikan dirimu, sendiri
Berubah sakit semua mimpi-mimpi indahku, tentangmu
Tenggelam aku didalam genangan cintamu

Renungan malam ini takkan menjadi berarti bila kau masih belum sendiri
Percuma aku berdiri menghabiskan tenaga di hati
Ku harus berhenti darimu

My favorite song in terms of musical arrangements!... I love the composition. When I first wrote the songs, I did not expect the song to come out like this. I looooveee the sound of my guitar!!.. I predicted it to be just so-so, another song you would put in the middle or bottom of the order, songs you won't pay much attention to. But it came out starking. everytime I listen to the clean sounds of the vintage 1962 Jazzmaster, and the voxy sound of the synth, I find the gloominess of the song, but at the same time there are also love, warmth, and the monotonous fills that give you the expression of life's dullness.

The song itself tells the story of a guy who is on the verge of stealing someone's lover. And if you understand quite a lot about this, in the process there will always be a point when the future is being discussed and the woman will have to make a decision. This is probably the hardest part of the process, the hardest gamble. They (the man and the woman) will spent numerous hours arguing, fighting, and it will never stop. Never, not if the woman is still in relationship with her boyfriend. Well... sort of like that.

TANDA-TANDA

Bila ku ikuti kata hati
Kutakut akan menyesal esok hari
Berjalan terus perlahan pasti
Sebelum tahu menetap atau pergi

Tapi seluruh jagat berbunyi, hari ini aku tahu semua
Mungkin ini yang kutunggu, terungkap sudah semua maksud

Tuhan telah memberi aku tanda-tanda tuk tinggalkan dirimu
Walau aku masih ragu
Engkaulah yang selama ini mengerti diriku
Namun aku?… aku ….

Aku memang bukan orang tolol
Tapi semalam terpeleset dan terkilir kakiku
Ban mobilku pecah di jalan tol
Ketika ku akan kembali kepadamu

Tapi seluruh jagat berbunyi hari ini, ungkapkan maksud dengan seribu cara
Untuk meyakinkan kepada diriku, Ini dia jawabanku

Tuhan telah memberi aku tanda-tanda tuk tinggalkan dirimu
Walau aku masih ragu
Engkaulah yang selama ini mengerti diriku
Namun aku?… aku tak tahu

-break-

Tapi seluruh jagat berbunyi hari ini, ungkapkan maksud dengan seribu cara
Untuk meyakinkan kepada diriku, Ini dia jawabanku

Tuhan telah memberi aku tanda-tanda tuk tinggalkan dirimu
Walau aku masih ragu
Engkaulah yang selama ini mengerti diriku
Namun aku?… aku tak tahu

I love this song to pieces. Probably the most honest song i have ever written. Came out to me exactly after the incident, I tried to memorise it by singing over and over on my way back home. When I reached my house, I bursted into the music room, picked up my guitar and started composing this song. I would say it's probably the best song i have ever written, in terms of how i got the idea.

Last Drips of Tears (lyric)

LAST DRIPS OF TEARS

Watching waves break with crashing sounds beside the ocean
So peaceful yet so scared, ..I’m so scared
Lover, how we were the ones who lit the fire
So why am I curious?
Did we burn ourselves cause now that we’re dying

Caught between the persistence of Jekyll
And the breaking urge of Mr.Hyde
Lover, guess I have to say goodbye
Cause I stopped and I can go no further

Please leave me, I’m so lonely
Walk away please, and you’ll be happy
And I’ll fight the nights to the last drips of tears from my heart

Ooohhh..
No baby, please, save yourself
And I’ll just go and save mine

Darling, do you know I cry in sleep and sober?
I’m desperate but still I have to hold on
Tying down my soul, it screams and cries
Kill myself in torturing solitude

Oohh..

Definition (lyric)

By Raygava, 2004

Raygava : Vocal, Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitars, Bass, Drums

DEFINITION

History repeating
As we tuck ourselves in dreams
To those things that we had seen
Do you think they’re cheating?
And you begin to stop and think
Why they exist and you extinct

You know you’ve survived those times to differentiate
You feel you’d rather stay
The sum of your fears that has begun to escalate
Will make you hate to leave

Discover the missing of a miracle
To bring out the truth to you
Define what you said as something beautiful
A dream that might not come true

Are we really happy?
Driving past the countryside
Having thoughts of strings and kites
Do you feel uncommon?
Insecure, you’re looking back
Wishing more like Gregory Peck

And you know we are playing these whole new rounds of cards
You’re asking if you’ve won enough
The time went unseen as we were dancing down the stream
We’re swept away by ages

Discover the missing of a miracle
To bring out the truth to you
Define what you said as something beautiful
A dream that might not come true

Yeeaaah
No,.. I’m stealing all the time, I’m beating on the drums
And I know that this will end, But I’m too young. Too young

back to reff.



Comments from Raygava:
Definition is one of the most unique songs i've ever written. Under a heavy influence of Jeff Buckley at that time, I dealt a lot with sorrow and sadness. But definition is more about frustration, a song of quarter life crisis. The time when you realise that your past had passed you by, you wish you could go back but you couldn't.
You know you’ve survived those times to differentiate
You feel you’d rather stay
--> in your younger years (college years), you had spent times trying to differentiate yourself from others, with your fashion statements, music statements, academic statements, etc. etc. being different was you goal!
But working life is all about being common. being in a uniform of activities!

Define what you said as something beautiful
A dream that might not come true
--> What is something beautiful? something we may never know what. Even now i still don't know. You had wished to finish college as fast as u can and start work. But then you realised that college life was probably one of the happiest moments in your life. It became a dream... that will never come true.

Insecure, you’re looking back
Wishing more like Gregory Peck
--> this part has two meanings. wishing more like gregory peck can be translated to wishing to be in the past. In those eras of black and white films. But,.. it could also describe Gregory Peck in the movie "Roman Holiday", where at the end of the movie, he looked back, seing Audrey Hepburn on her throne, a relationship he may never have. Then he walked on to the exit door.. Much of the feeling you'd have looking at your past, wishing to go back, but you could not.

KEDUA TERCANTIK

Maafkan diriku, tidak pilih kamu
Karena kau hanya yang kedua tercantik dari kelima gebetanku
Lagipula kau tidak begitu pintar

Maafkan aku sayang, aku tidak tahan
Melihat kelakuanmu yang kadang tak pikir dulu
Peduli hanya akan penampilanmu

Walau kau memang cantik namun sayang kau bukan model
Tidak seperti dua gebetanku yang lain
Padahal aku ingin pacar yang terkenal
Semoga aku tak kan menyesal

Hidup tidak panjang, Bosan hidup lajang
Aku harus cari calon istri yang soleh dan baik hati
Maafkan aku bila itu bukan kamu

----

Walau kau memang cantik namun sayang kau bukan model

Hidup tidak panjang, Bosan hidup lajang

Maafkan aku bila itu bukan kamu
Maafkan aku bila itu bukan kamu
Maafkan aku bila itu bukan kamu

Antara Sakit dan Setan

Antara Sakit dan Setan...
Antara kumbang dan macan...
Tak akan ada habisnya perdebatan ini.. karena kau yang setan dan aku yang sakit!

Kapten: Aku sakiiiiiiiit!.. sesakit-sakitnya..(sunyi)
Aku hancuuuuuuur!.. sehancur-hancurnya..
Menjadi debu... dan tertiup angin..(kapten bertekuk lutut, dengan kedua tangannya dikepal di depan dadanya, dengan muka meringis)

Nakhoda: (datang dengan terhuyung-huyung) Tapi ini semua ngaco karena kau.. kau yang ngaco..
kau setan!.. sesetan-setannya..

Kapten: Sudah jelaslah setannya bukan padaku. (menepuk dadanya) Aku bukanlah setan. Karena aku sakit!..(menepuk kembali dadanya)
jelas bukan?
....
Ini semua ngaco karena ia!.. ia yang setan!.. sesetan-setannya! (dengan jari menunjuk ke arah barat)

Nakhoda: Mungkin kau sakit tapi mungkinkah kau setan dalam saat yang bersamaan? Sakit tapi setan?

Kapten: Ah tidak! tidak mungkin!Tak ada itu Sakit tapi Setan! Teman tapi mesran mungkin!

Nakhoda: Mesra!

Kapten: Mesra tak berirama dengan setan!!.. (sambil menyalakan pipa nya dg korek api kayu dari saku jaketnya) kau lihat??..Karena memang setan tidak akan mesra! Mesra tidak berirama dengan setan!!

Nakhoda: Sakit adalah sakit!.. dan setan selamanya akan kukutuk!.. Setan kah ia?

Kapten: Ia setan!! ...Sekarang biar semua orang percaya. Karena aku sudah lelah. Lelah menjadi setan, dituduh setan, dan lalu disetani.. apa aku ini petani? yang membuat nasi menjadi ada tapi kok lalu mencari sesuap nasi..?
Mungkin aku petani, tapi jelas aku disetani.
Dan sekarang aku butuh ditemani!...

Cuma kamu yang bisa menjadi setan. Karena aku sakit. Dan kalau aku sakit aku tidak mgkn adalah setan. Dan aku tak mau peduli lagi. aku sakit. dan aku sakit sambil berdiri!.. entah apa itu rasanya.. yah mgkn begini.

Aku sakit.... sesakit-sakitnya!
Aku hancur.. sehancur-hancurnya!
Menjadi debu..,
dan tertiup angin......!

Akhir Masa Muda (lyric)

AKHIR MASA MUDA

Terburu, terburu dirimu
Memutuskan yang belum engkau tahu
Sebilah keyakinan akan kebahagiaan
Namun kebahagiaan belum kau temukan

Terhunus, terhunus kenyataan
Terperangkap belenggu perempuan
Tahukah kamu banyak sekali ikan di lautan
Namun ikan-ikan itu belum kau temukan

Disinikah teman, akhir dari masa muda?
Masih ingin teman, melihat-lihat dunia?

Lelahnya, lelahnya diriku
Selalu menanti akhir minggu
Tidakkah kau ingin kembali lagi berpesta?
Di lantai dansa dikelilingi wanita

Disinikah teman, akhir dari masa muda?
Masih ingin teman, melihat-lihat dunia?

-Break-

Terhunus, terhunus kenyataan
Terperangkap belenggu perempuan
Tahukah kamu banyak sekali ikan di lautan
Namun ikan-ikan itu belum kau temukan

Disinikah teman, akhir dari masa muda?
Masih ingin teman, melihat-lihat dunia?

comments from Raygava:
Akhir masa muda is a song about marriage (if it isn't that obvious, hahhaha)..
It's about witnessing your friend(s) getting married when in fact they (most of 'em) haven't really observed the world (and the options/ opportunities it offers hehehe).
Some people out there think they know what they're doing, they've found what they're lookin for, they are happy..... (most of them are too naive). cz actually sometimes it's all only about emotion in abundance.

I had a friend who dated only once (he was probably already 22 when he found this girl) .. and he's gonna marry this girl... and do you think, he has any legitimate whatsoever to say that he is happy? he has found the one?..
He found ONE fish, for christsake.. ONE !! ONE fish!...
well that's pretty much the story..
