Nama aslinya Wouter Wally De Backer dikenal dengan nama Gotye. Salah satu kebiasaan saya kalo dengerin lagu yaa pasti belakangan tau nama penyanyinya. Dengerin lagu ini setiap hari sampai dibuat terkejut saat beberapa kali take off pake Air Asia. Mereka putar lagu ini waktu itu take off di Changi Airport dan pas traveling ke Bali, yaa take off juga. I’m so glad and a little bit surprised they turned on my fave music.
here is the lyric;
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
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
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
here is the video:
Makna dari lagu ini hhmmm bisa dikatakan kalau “KAmu itu hanyalah orang yang dulu aku kenal”……………. OOHHH dalem banget kan? Gimana tidak, bayangin scenenya kaya gini, Kamu ketemu mantan secara nggak sengaja di suatu tempat trus bincang dikit trus tiba-tiba ditengah perbincangan dia bilang kaya gitu. Yaaa gimana gitu yaah
sedikit bocoran dari tetangga mengenai arti lyric lagu ini.
Now and then I think of when we were together
[sekarang aku mulai berpikir saat2 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 kuingat]
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
[kamu bisa berlarut2 (candu) dalam kesedihan]
Like resignation to the end, always the end
[pasrah sampai mati]
So when we found that we could not make sense
[jd waktu kita merasa ga 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 ga percaya hanya itu yang selalu telah aku lakukan]
But I don’t wanna live that way
[jujur aku ga 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) ]
hopefully one day saya ketemu mantan atau kalian yang ketemu si EX nggak dibilangin;
“Kamu itu NGGAK LAEN orang yang pernah guwa Kenal”
hahahaha na nana nanana
