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 (lyric)

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
----

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......!
Antara kumbang dan macan...
Tak akan ada habisnya perdebatan ini.. karena kau yang setan dan aku yang sakit!
Kapten: Aku sakiiiiiiiit!.. sesakit-sakitnya..(sunyi)

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..
