Di Balik Lagu Galau Gotye-Somebody That I Used To Know

 

Kalau denger lirik "now you're just somebody that I used to know" itu rasanya gimana gitu.. Hehe gimana enggak, kalau seseorang bilang kalau kamu cuma orang yang dulu aku kenal. Waduh rasanya itu adalah ungkapan kekesalan yang luar biasa karena sesuatu yang menimpa seseorang dengan"kenalan" nya heuheu :D

Okey, disini aku kasih tau makna terpendam dari lagu ini. Kalau diibaratkan inilah isi hati dari seorang laki-laki yang diputuskan oleh kekasihnya, yang dengan mudah mengatakan kita masih bisa berteman kok. "Well you said that we would still be friends". Well, let's check~

Now and then I think of when we were together

Like when you said you felt so happy you could die

Told myself that you were right for me

But felt so lonely in your company

But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness

Like resignation to the end, always the end

So when we found that we could not make sense

Well you said that we would still be friends

But I'll admit that I was glad it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off

Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing

And I don't even need your love

But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough

No you didn't have to stoop so low

Have your friends collect your records and then change your number

I guess that I don't need that though

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

[Kimbra:]

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over

But had me believing it was always something that I'd done

But I don't wanna live that way

Reading into every word you say

You said that you could let it go

And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know

[Gotye:]

But you didn't have to cut me off

Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing

And I don't even need your love

But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough

No you didn't have to stoop so low

Have your friends collect your records and then change your number

I guess that I don't need that though

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

[x2]

Somebody

(I used to know)

Somebody

(Now you're just somebody that I used to know)

(I used to know)

(That I used to know)

(I used to know)

Somebody

Now and then I think of when we were together

[sekarang aku mulai berpikir saat-saat kita bersama]

Like when you said you felt so happy you could die

[waktu kamu bilang kamu sangat bahagia dan mau mati demi aku :D]

Told myself that you were right for me

[kamu bilang kalo kamu adalah yg paling tepat buatku]

But felt so lonely in your company

[tapi aku merasa kesepian banget dengan mu]

But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

[tapi itulah cinta yang dulu dan itu sebuah rasa sakit, aku masih ingat]

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness

[kamu bisa berlarut-larut (candu) dalam kesedihan]

Like resignation to the end, always the end

[pasrah sampai mati]

So when we found that we could not make sense

[jadi waktu kita merasa gak cocok]

Well you said that we would still be friends

[terus, kamu bilang kita masih bisa jadi teman]

But I'll admit that I was glad it was over

[tapi aku akui aku senang ini telah berakhir]

But you didn't have to cut me off

[tapi kamu ga harus mematahkan hati ku :D]

Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing

[membuatnya seperti ga pernah terjadi]

And I don't even need your love

[dan aku bahkan ga butuh cinta mu :(]

But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough

[tapi kamu memperlakukanku seperti orang asing dan kurasa itu sangat kasar]

No you didn't have to stoop so low

[tidak, kamu ga perlu membungkuk rendah (untuk minta maaf)]

Have your friends collect your records and then change your number

[suruh temenmu ngumpulin catatan2mu terus ganti nomor hp mu]

I guess that I don't need that though

[kukira aku ga butuh itu lagi]

Now you're just somebody that I used to know

[sekarang kamu ga lebih dari orang yang dulu ku kenal]

balasan dari "kenalan" nya

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over

[sekarang aku memikirkan saat dulu setiap saat kau mengacaukan aku]

But had me believing it was always something that I'd done

[tapi aku gak percaya hanya itu yang selalu telah aku lakukan]

But I don't wanna live that way

[jujur aku gak mau seperti itu]

Reading into every word you say

[melakukan semua yang kamu katakan]

You said that you could let it go

[kamu bilang kamu bisa membiarkan semuanya berlalu]

And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know

[dan aku tidak akan menahanmu untuk tetap bersamaku (bersama seseorang yg lewat begitu aja dlm hidupmu) ]
