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

comments from raygava:
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.
