suatu hari: short story -separated-
>> Sabtu, 25 Oktober 2008
dulu banget temen saya suka nyanyi lagu separated-nya usher ini di tengah hubungannya sama pacarnya yang emang suka putus sambung. dia tau lagu ini tentang apa (harusnya..), anehnya dia nyanyi dengan santai. saya pikir aneh sekali. ini lagu harusnya dinyanyikan sambil berdarah-darah, penuh dengan perumpamaan tentang sepasang kekasih yang sudah usaha sedemikian keras untuk bersama tetapi seakan-akan semuanya terasa salah. better off separated. geez.. mungkin dia masih berharap kisah cintanya akan berakhir di bagian nyambung dan bukannya di bagian putus, jadi lagu ini tidak terdengar seperti jutaan panah lesmana yang berjatuhan dari langit untuk mencabik jantungnya.
If love was a bird Then we wouldn't have wings
If love was a sky We'd be blue
If love was a choir You and I could never sing
Cause love isn't for me and you
If love was an Oscar You and I could never win
Cause we can never act out our parts
If love is the Bible Then we are lost in sin
Because its not in our hearts
So why don't you go your way
And I'll go mine
Live your life,
and I'll live mine
Baby you'll do well,
and I'll be fine
Cause we're better off, separated
saya pilih mematikan segala pemutar lagu apapun yang mendayukan lagu ini. lagu ini sudah sangat penuh makna bahkan tanpa diri kita sendiri ada di dalam situasi seperti itu, suara usher sudah cukup "menyampaikan" gimana rasanya sakit karena ternyata kita dan kekasih weren't meant to be together. tapi sekarang saya coba untuk ngeliat hal ini dari tempat yang berbeda. melihat lagu ini sebagai healing therapy. tempat dimana orang-orang melagukan syair ini sepenuh hati. membisikkan kalimat " It's killing me so, why don't you go" as blood spills from my heart. as tears that won't stop even i ordered my eyes to stop watering my cheek before flowers grow! setelah berapa lama saya tunggu selesainya ritual nangis ini. nangis, nangis dan nangis.
If love was a fire
Then we have lost the spark
Love never felt so cold
If love was a light
Then we're lost in the dark
Left with no one to hold
If love was a sport
We're not on the same team
You and I are destined to lose
If love was an ocean
Then we are just a stream
Cause love isn't for me and you
So why don't you go your way
And I'll go mine
Live your life, and I'll live mine
Baby you'll do well, and I'll be fine
Cause we're better off, separated
apa healing therapy ini bekerja? mungkin iya, mungkin nggak. apakah cara ini berguna? mungkin iya mungkin nggak. untuk saya sih nggak terlalu. saya lebih milih dengerin lagu yang ceria sambil jalan-jalan subuh-subuh, atau sambil ngebut di jalanan malem-malem pas jalan-jalan lagi sepi (bukan anak geng motor), atau lari di lapangan pancasila ugm yang berbatu-batu gak mutu. atau pergi ke pantai dan teriak keras-keras. tapi bukan dengerin lagu ini di kamar dan menangis tersedu-sedu. bayanginnya aja ngeri. terlalu mengerikan.
Girl I know we had some good times
It's sad but now we gotta say goodbye
Girl you know I love you, I can't deny
I can't say we didn't try to make it work for you and I
I know it hurts so much but it's best for us
Somewhere along this windy road we lost the trust
So I'll walk away so you don't have to see me cry
It's killing me so, why don't you go
So why don't you go your way
And I'll go mine
Live your life, and I'll live mine
Baby you'll do well, and I'll be fine
Cause we're better off, separated
i'm sorry
