Description
Sometimes love is not about being together, but about realising that you cannot be together. Like heaven and earth: seemingly close, yet infinitely far apart. There is always something incompatible in it - like water that extinguishes fire, and fire that still strives to burn.
This song speaks of that quietest of growing up, when the pain doesn't go away, but becomes familiar, like a scar that you no longer reach for with your hand. The heart still argues with the mind, but somewhere inside there is a slight confidence that it will pass. Because even emptiness becomes familiar. Especially if it used to be called love.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Bagai langit dan bumi
Yang tak pernah sealam
Bagai hitam dan putih
Yang tak pernah sewarna
Hanya kita
Yang merasakannya
Belajar melepaskan dirinya
Walau setengahku bersamanya
Ku yakin kita 'kan terbiasa
Walau inti jiwa tak terima
Bagai air dan api
Yang tak pernah senyawa
Bagai timur dan barat
Yang tak pernah searah
Belajar melepaskan dirinya
Walau setengahku bersamanya
Ku yakin kita 'kan terbiasa
Walau inti jiwa tak terima
Hu-uh
Hu-uh-uh
Hu-uh-uh
Hu-uh, hu-uh
Belajar melepaskan dirinya
Walau setengahku bersamanya
Ku yakin kita 'kan terbiasa
Walau inti jiwa tak terima
Tak terima, tak terima
Tak terima, tak terima
Tak terima, tak terima
Tak terima, tak terima
English translation
Like heaven and earth
Which is never as natural
Like black and white
Which is never the same color
Just us
Who feels it
Learn to let go of himself
Even though half of me is with him
I'm sure we'll get used to it
Even though the core of the soul does not accept it
Like water and fire
Which never compounds
Like east and west
Which never goes in the same direction
Learn to let go of himself
Even though half of me is with him
I'm sure we'll get used to it
Even though the core of the soul does not accept it
Hu-uh
Hu-uh-uh
Hu-uh-uh
Hu-uh, hu-uh
Learn to let go of himself
Even though half of me is with him
I'm sure we'll get used to it
Even though the core of the soul does not accept it
Don't accept it, don't accept it
Don't accept it, don't accept it
Don't accept it, don't accept it
Don't accept it, don't accept it
