Pekatku pucatkan malam larut
Detik meluruh menyekat sepi
Ku dekap erat kisikan pagi
Terus bertahan usai padam
Hari, bulan, tahun berlalu
Langit tak berpucuk, mimpi lucut dalam genggam
Ku lepas pedih pergi perlahan
Cukupkan pinta ini,Tuhan
Pejamkanlah mata ini
Kan ku pantik asa nanti
Biarlah ku lelap meski sesaat
Damaikanlah ingar hati
Janji esok jumpa lagi
Usah ku kalah mesti ku patah
Pejamkan mata ini, Tuhan
Renggut resah ini, Tuhan
Hapus duka ini, Tuhan
Cukupkan pinta ini, Tuhan
Notes:
It's funny how I tend to struggle to write songs in Bahasa Indonesia. Because it's my own language. And I wrote many poems before, so many I'd lost count of them.
When I start writing my diary in English after I started college, I found out that I could express my feelings better in English. It's still the same now. May be that's why I become so ignorant to think that Bahasa Indonesia is quite limited in terms of vocabulary. And how wrong I was.
It's a beautiful language in itself. It's just my vocabulary which is limited since I rarely read Indonesian literature. Learning English and all, I started to watch, listen, read, English related content. While my own language, I have no words really. What a shame.
I guess I need to start reading Indonesian literature again.
Btw, the song is basically about insomnia and anxiety. Like I could name it Insomniac Song, lol
And Hello there...
