It's like this and it's like that

What happened to those moments,
Are they not special anymore?
Those feelings of security
As the nights soar lightly

What happened to those words,
Are they meaningless to the core?
So beautiful- once it made me hopeful
Now when they are empty- It almost seem so cruel

Time, us, together
Are they not precious?
How you overlooked them all
Never notice if one of them would fall

At times when it is dark
Doesn't the light seem so far
Though you can't really see when you reach out
Then what would you expect when you feel the roughness of my scar?

Cakap dengan cermin

Lihat dicermin nampak diri sendiri
di dalam fikirannya juga gambarnya sendiri
dimulutnya hanya katakan diri sendiri
semuanya bagaikankan tak penting sekali

Perasaannya penting
amarahnya genting

laluannya orang lain ke tepi
hajatnya orang lain di tarik
selesainya orang lain di abai
akibatnya orang lain sakit

Hai, apa khabar?

Hai, apa khabar?
macam mana kat sana?
lama lagi ke baru mahu pulang?

Hai, apa khabar?
macam mana kat sana?
ada rasa kesunyian?

Hai apa khabar?
macam mana kat sana?
banyak kerja harus siapkan?

Hai, di sini sihat sahaja
semuanya baik belaka
raya haji nanti pulang ya
rasa kesunyian kini menyeksa
saat ini dikelilingi timbunan kerja
terima kasih kerana tak bertanya
pasti semuanya sibuk dengan dunia

tunggu aku pulang ya

It happens once
or maybe even twice
It gives you the insight to what it is about
But it is neither precise nor make any sense
Though the silliest things are the treasured prize

It leaves you in pain so dreadful and shame
You fell, you believed
You gave it all that you have
But it treats you so bad it stings in the night

Sunshine and rainbows and sugar so sweet
So beautiful so blissful- feels complete
But time will come and knock you into reality
Present to you with authenticity of pure deceit

You fell, you believed
you did everything that you could
Beautiful at one time and disastrous in the other
Things that got you living just make a fool out of you
Love is neither precise nor predictable like human too.

Kau dapat satu
kau tinggalkan dua
mungkin tak perlu
tapi akan juga walaupun tak sengaja

Ada rasa kehilangan?
ada rasa kesedihan?
sakit tak kehilangan tu?
sakit tak kesedihan tu?

soalan seperti tak masuk akal
tapi wajar untuk ditanya

kerana dengan kehilangan
kita belajar untuk menghargai
kerana dengan kesedihan
kita belajar untuk mengatasi

membina permulaan yang baru
diri sentiasa dapat dibaiki
tiada tahap mana kita patut berhenti

tapi
kau dapat satu
kau tinggalkan dua
